4 First Aid Measures

General information

Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Move out of the dangerous area.

After inhalation

If breathed in, move the person into the fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician.

After skin contact

Take off the contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Take the person immediately to the hospital. Consult a physician. Treatment with calcium gluconate paste is recommended.

After eye contact

Rinse opened eye for at least 15 minutes under running water. Continue rinsing eyes during transport to the hospital.

After swallowing

Rinse mouth with water. Consult a physician. Seek medical treatment. Do NOT induce vomiting. Never feed anything to an unconscious person.

5 Fire Fighting Measures

Suitable extinguishing agents: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

Advice for firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.

6 Accidental Release Measures

Person-related safety precautions

Wear respiratory protection. Avoid breathing vapors, mist, or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.

Measures for environmental protection

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not allow material to be released into the environment without proper governmental permits.

Measures for cleaning/collecting

Clean up promptly by sweeping or vacuuming.

See Section 7 for information on safe handling.
See Section 8 for information on personal protection equipment.
See Section 13 for disposal information.

7 Handling And Storage

Handling: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of vapor or mist.

Storage: Keep the container tightly sealed. Store it in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place.
Information about storage in one common storage facility: Do not store together with oxidizing and acidic materials.

Specific end use(s): Apart from the uses mentioned in section 1, no other specific uses are stipulated.
