First-aid measures
4.1 Description of first aid measures
Eyes contact : Rinse continuously with water at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin contact : Wash skin immediately with water and soap for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing. Get medical aid immediately.
Ingestion : Do not induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse the mouth with water. Get medical aid immediately. Never give anything to drink to an unconscious person.
Inhalation : Keep the victim away from the polluted atmosphere. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid immediately.
4.2 Most important symptoms and effects both acute and delayed
No data available
4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
No data available
Fire-fighting measures
5.1 Extinguishing media
- suitable : CO2, dry chemical powder, appropriate foam, water fog/spray
- unsuitable : jet of water
5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
In case of fire, could form HCl, HBr and hazardous vapours.
5.3 Advice for firefighters
Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Cool containers with water fog/spray.
Accidental release measures
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Evacuate the spill area of unnecessary personnel. As a precautionary measure, eliminate all ignition sources. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and inhalation of vapours. Stop leak if possible.
6.2 Environmental precautions
Should not be released into the environment.
6.3 Method and material for containment and cleaning up
Ventilate area. Contain spillage. Absorb spilled product with inert material (e.g. dry sand, vermiculite) and collect carefully in a suitable container for disposal.
Handling and storage
7.1 Precautions for safe handling
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety procedures. Use adequate ventilation. Avoid inhalation of vapours. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Keep in a dry, cool, dark well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat, moisture, sources of ignition and incompatible substances. Store in original container. Keep container tightly closed and check periodically for leaks. Avoid stocking for too long time. The product is corrosive for most of the metals under moisture conditions.

Disposal considerations
13.1 Waste treatment methods
There is no uniform regulation for the disposal of chemical products and their waste in the EC. User must ensure that this complies with all local / national laws.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
