First-Aid Measures
- Eyes
- Rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Seek medical attention immediately.
- Skin
- Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing. Wash with soap. Get medical attention immediately.
- Inhalation
- Move person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention immediately.
- Ingestion
- Do Not Induce Vomiting! Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If conscious, wash out mouth with water. Get medical attention immediately.
Fire-Fighting Measures
- Suitable Extinguishing Media
- Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, or CO2. Use measures appropriate to local circumstances.
- Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
- Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
- Protective Equipment
- Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
- Hazardous Combustion Products
- May include carbon oxides and other toxic fumes. See Section 10.
Accidental Release Measures
- Personal Precautions
- Use PPE as described in Section 8. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.
