4.1 — Description of first aid measures

First-aid measures after inhalation

If this chemical has been inhaled, remove the exposed person to fresh air at once. If breathing has stopped, perform artificial respiration. Keep the person warm and at rest.

First-aid measures after skin contact

If this chemical contacts the skin, promptly wash the contaminated skin with soap and water. If this chemical penetrates the clothing, promptly remove the clothing and wash the skin with soap and water. Get medical attention promptly.

First-aid measures after eye contact

If this chemical contacts the eyes, immediately wash (irrigate) the eyes with large amounts of water, occasionally lifting the lower and upper lids. Get medical attention immediately.

First-aid measures after ingestion

If this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention immediately.

5.3 — Advice for firefighters

Protection during firefighting

Do not enter fire area without proper protective equipment, including respiratory protection.

6.1.1 — For non-emergency personnel

Emergency procedures

Evacuate area and ventilate. Use appropriate personal protective equipment. Contain spill and absorb with inert material.

6.3 — Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Methods for cleaning up

Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Collect leaking liquid in sealable containers. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent.

10.1 — Reactivity

Reactivity

Stable under normal conditions, but reacts with strong oxidizing agents.

10.2 — Chemical stability

Chemical stability

Decomposes at ordinary temp in sunlight in the absence of air, and in the dark in the presence of air.
