First-aid measures

INHALATION: Remove person to fresh air immediately while getting immediate medical attention. Use a bag valve mask or similar device to perform artificial respiration (rescue breathing) if needed.

SKIN CONTACT:  Immediately wash skin with soap and plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Seek immediate medical attention.

INGESTION:  Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person.  Do NOT induce vomiting. If person is conscious and alert have victim rinse mouth with water.  Seek immediate medical attention.

EYE CONTACT:  Immediately remove contact lenses and flush eyes with large amounts of water, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids, until no evidence of chemical remains at least 15 - 20 minutes.  Get immediate medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:  Water mist, foam dry chemical, CO2.  Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire.

UNSUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:  High volume water jet as this may spread fire.

FIRE FIGHTING: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion by products. Stay upwind stay out of low areas.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Use water spray to cool and protect fire exposed containers.  

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: May generate potential toxic and irritating fumes and oxides.

Accidental release measures

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: Cleanup personnel should wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment. Keep unnecessary and unprotected people away from area of spill. Ensure proper ventilation spill site. Avoid inhalation of dust.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:  Do not let spilled material enter floor drains, sewers or water sources or the environment.

METHODS FOR CLEAN-UP:   Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep unnecessary and unprotected people away from area of spill.  Clean up personnel should wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment. Collect spilled material (avoid generation of dust) and place into an appropriate waste disposal container.  After clean-up is complete wash spill site. Do no allow material to enter floor drains, sewers or water sources of any kind.

Handling and storage

SAFE HANDLING:  Avoid inhalation of dust. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep container tightly closed. Protect from physical damage.  Ensure proper ventilation. Use necessary PPE’s to prevent exposure by any route. Keep away from food and drinks. Do not eat, drink or smoke at work. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.
