4. First-aid measures
General advice:
First aid providers should wear personal protective equipment to prevent exposure. Remove contaminated
clothing. Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or ambulance, then give artificial
respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth if possible. Call a poison control center or physician for treatment
advice. Have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor or going
for treatment.
If inhaled:
Remove the affected individual into fresh air and keep the person calm. Assist in breathing if necessary.
If on skin:
Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15 - 20 minutes.
If in eyes:
Hold eyes open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if
present, after first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing.
If swallowed:
Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to by a poison control
center or doctor. Never induce vomiting or give anything by mouth if the victim is unconscious or having
convulsions.
Note to physician
Antidote: No known specific antidote.
Treatment: Treat symptomatically.
5. Fire-fighting measures

Environmental precautions:
Do not discharge into the subsoil/soil. Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater. Contain
contaminated water/firefighting water.
Cleanup:
Dike spillage. Pick up with suitable absorbent material. Place into suitable containers for reuse or disposal in
a licensed facility. Spilled substance/product should be recovered and applied according to label rates
whenever possible. If application of spilled substance/product is not possible, then spills should be
contained, solidified, and placed in suitable containers for disposal. After decontamination, spill area can be
washed with water. Collect wash water for approved disposal.
Storage
General advice:
Keep only in the original container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from ignition sources, heat or
flame. Protect containers from physical damage. Protect against contamination. The authority permits and
storage regulations must be observed.
Storage incompatibility:
General: Segregate from incompatible substances. Segregate from foods and animal feeds. Segregate from
textiles and similar materials.
Respiratory protection:
Wear respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate. Wear a NIOSH-certified (or equivalent) TC23C
Chemical/Mechanical type filter system to remove a combination of particles, gas and vapours. For
situations where the airborne concentrations may exceed the level for which an air purifying respirator is
effective, or where the levels are unknown or Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH), use NIOSH-
certified full facepiece pressure demand self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or a full facepiece
pressure demand supplied-air respirator (SAR) with escape provisions.
Hand protection:
Chemical resistant protective gloves, Protective glove selection must be based on the user's assessment of
the workplace hazards.
Eye protection:
Safety glasses with side-shields. Tightly fitting safety goggles (chemical goggles). Wear face shield if
splashing hazard exists.
Body protection:
Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. head protection, apron,
protective boots, chemical-protection suit.
