First aid
General
In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Inhalation
Provide fresh air, rest, half upright position. Seek medical advice after significant exposure.
Skin
Remove immediately all contaminated clothing. Wash off with soap and water. Seek medical advice if
irritation develops. Launder contaminated clothes with plenty of water before reuse. Destroy
contaminated shoes if made of leather.
Eye

Ingestion
Only when conscious, rinse mouth, give plenty of water to drink. DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical
advice.
Advice to physician
No specific antidote known. Symptomatic treatment is advised. If burn is present treat as any thermal burn after
decontamination. If necessary evacuation of the stomach contents should be undertaken by means carrying
the least likelihood of aspiration (e.g. gastric lavage in combination with endotracheal intubation).
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
water, spray, foam, sand, Carbon dioxide, dry powder.
Unsuitable extinguishing media
halones.
Hazardous decomposition / combustion products
Nitrous gases may be produced.
Protective equipment
Wear self contained breathing apparatus. Wear a standard aluminised firefighting suit.
Other information
Cool closed containers with water. Do not direct a solid stream of water or foam into the burning material; this
may cause spattering and spread the fire. Water used to extinguish a fire should not be allowed to enter the
drainage system or water courses.
Fire and explosion hazard
Toxic fumes.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions
Avoid contact during pregnancy/while nursing. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. For personal protection see also Section Exposure Controls/Personal protections.
Environmental precautions
Avoid release in the environment. Treat using the best available techniques before discharge into drains or the aquatic environment.
Methods for cleaning up
Absorb with sand, sweep up and put into a container for disposal. Flush remainder with water.
Handling and storage
