First-aid measures after inhalation : In the event of exposure to high concentrations of dust : Move the affected person away from the contaminated area and into the fresh air. Give artificial respiration if necessary.

First-aid measures after skin contact : Remove by wiping. Remove all contaminated clothing and footwear. Rinse with water. If case of redness or irritation, call a doctor.

First-aid measures after eye contact: Rinse immediately and thoroughly, pulling the eyelids well away from the eye (15 minutes minimum). Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Always consult an eye specialist, even if there are no immediate symptoms.

First-aid measures after ingestion : Rinse mouth with water. Call medical assistance immediately and show a copy of the material safety data sheet.

- Most important symptoms and effects:

Symptoms/effects after skin contact : May cause an allergic skin reaction.

Symptoms/effects after eye contact : Risk of serious damage to eyes.

Fire-fighting measures

- Suitable extinguishing media:

Water spray. Water + additive. Powder (ABC).

- Unsuitable extinguishing media:

Carbon dioxide (CO2).

- Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

Fire hazard : Not classified as flammable by EC criteria but may present a hazard in the event of a fire. During combustion : Toxic and irritating fumes may be released.
