Remove contaminated clothing and loosen remaining clothing. Allow
patient to assume most comfortable position and keep warm. Move to fresh
air.
Ingestion: Immediately rinse mouth with water. If swallowed, give a glass of water to
drink. If vomiting occurs give further water. Seek immediate medical
assistance.
Section 5. Fire Fighting Measures
Hazchem Code: 1Z
Suitable Extinguishing Media:
Not combustible, however, if material is involved in a fire use: Coarse water spray, fine water spray,
normal foam.
Unsuitable Extingusihing Media:
Carbon dioxide. Dry powder or extinguishing media that contain ammonium salts.
Special Hazards during Fire Fighting:
Oxidizing substance. Non combustible, but will support combustion of other materials.
Environmentally hazardous.
Special Protective Equipment For Fire Fighter:
Increase intensity of a fire. If safe to do so, remove containersfrom path of line. Keep containers
cool with water spray. Decomposes on heating emiting toxic fumes, including thoseof oxides of
nitrogen. Fire fighter to wear self-contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing if
risk of exposure to products of decomposition.
Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precaution:
Use personal protective equipment
Work up wind or increase ventilation
Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak
Material can create slippery conditions
Environmental Precautions:
Shut of all possible source of ignition
Clear area of all unprotected personnel.
Do not allow container or product to get into drains, sewers, streams or ponds.
If contamination of sewers or waterway has occurred advise local emergency services
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Precautions for safe handling:
Avoid skin and eye contact and breathing in dust. Avoid handling which leads to dust formation.
