SECTION 4:
First-Aid Measures
If inhaled
Remove individual to fresh air. Seek medical attention if breathing becomes difficult or if respiratory irritation develops. Give
oxygen or artificial respiration if needed.
In case of skin contact
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes. If clothing comes in contact with the product, the clothing should
be removed and laundered before reuse. Seek medical attention if irritation develops.
In case of eye contact
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue
rinsing. If symptoms persist or in all cases of concern, seek medical advice.
If swallowed
Immediately call a physician or poison control center. Rinse mouth. Never give anything by mouth to a person who is unconscious
or is having convulsions. Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed by physician. If vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach
content does not get into the lungs.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Direct skin or eye contact may cause corrosive burns. Symptoms may include pain, redness, or swelling. Scarring or permanent
damage, including blindness, could result. Inhalation may cause severe respiratory irritation, such as coughing and wheezing.
Inhalation could result in pulmonary edema, symptoms—chest pain, shortness of breath—may be delayed. Ingestion may produce
burns to the lips, oral cavity, upper airway, esophagus, and possibly the digestive tract. Symptoms may include abdominal pain,
vomiting, burns, perforations, and bleeding.
Refer to section 11 of the SDS for delayed and immediate effects and chronic effects from short- and long-term exposure.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Chemical burns: Flush with water immediately. While flushing,
remove clothes which do not adhere to affected area. Call an ambulance. Continue flushing during transport to hospital. Keep
person under observation. Symptoms may be delayed.
General information
Ensure medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.

Precautionary measures
Exercise caution when fighting any chemical fire; hazardous fumes will be present.
Firefighting
equipment/instructions
Use water spray or fog for cooling exposed containers.
Protection during firefighting
Do not enter fire area without proper protective equipment, including respiratory protection.
Other information
Refer to section 9 of the SDS for flammability properties.
SECTION 6:
Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep out of low areas. Wear appropriate
protective equipment and clothing during cleanup. Do not breathe mist or vapor. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled
material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be advised if
significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal protective equipment, refer to section 8 of the SDS.
Environmental precautions
Avoid discharge into drains, watercourses, or onto the ground.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Ventilate the area. Dike the spilled material where this is possible. Stop leak if it can be done without risk. Absorb spillage to
prevent material damage. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth, and place into containers. Prevent entry into waterways,
sewers, basements, or confined areas. Following product recovery, flush area with water to remove residual contamination. Never
return spills to original containers for reuse. Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazards as the spilled product.
In the event of a spill large accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable regulations.
