Description of first aid measures
| General advice | Consult a physician. Show this material safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. |
| If inhaled | If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician. |
| In case of skin contact | Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a physician. |
| In case of eye contact | Flush eyes with water as a precaution. |
| If swallowed | Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with water. Consult a physician. |
| Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed | The most important known symptoms and effects are described in the labelling (see section 2.2) and/or in section 11 |
| Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed | No data available |
Extinguishing media
| Suitable extinguishing media | Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. |
| Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture |
Highly flammable liquid and vapor. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.
In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst, with the
risk of a subsequent explosion. The vapor/gas is heavier than air and will spread along
the ground. Vapors may accumulate in low or confined areas or travel a considerable
distance to a source of ignition and flash back.

spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable
training. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.

Personal protective equipment
| Eye/face protection | Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166 Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU). |
| Skin protection |
Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.
The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of Regulation (EU)
2016/425 and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
|
| Body Protection | Impervious clothing, The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace. |
| Respiratory protection | Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a fullface particle respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU). |
| Control of environmental exposure | Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. |
