4. First-aid measures
General Advice Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Immediate medical attention is
required.

Eye Contact Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. In
the case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical
advice.

Skin Contact Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Immediate medical
attention is required.

Inhalation If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim
ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask
equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Remove to fresh
air. Immediate medical attention is required.

Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.

Most important symptoms and Causes burns by all exposure routes. Product is a corrosive material. Use of gastric
effects lavage or emesis is contraindicated. Possible perforation of stomach or esophagus should
be investigated: Ingestion causes severe swelling, severe damage to the delicate tissue
and danger of perforation: Symptoms of overexposure may be headache, dizziness,
tiredness, nausea and vomiting
Notes to Physician Treat symptomatically

5. Fire-fighting measures

Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical

Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors. The product causes burns of eyes, skin and mucous
membranes. Oxidizer: Contact with combustible/organic material may cause fire. May ignite combustibles (wood paper, oil,
clothing, etc.). Combustible material. Containers may explode when heated. Do not allow run-off from fire-fighting to enter drains or
water courses.

Hazardous Combustion Products

Carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon dioxide (CO2). Sulfur oxides.
Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full
protective gear. Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors.

6. Accidental release measures

Personal Precautions Ensure adequate ventilation. Use personal protective equipment as required. Evacuate
personnel to safe areas. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Remove all
sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Environmental Precautions Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Do not allow material to
contaminate ground water system. Prevent product from entering drains. Local authorities
should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.

Methods for Containment and Clean Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. Soak up with inert absorbent material.
Up Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition.

7. Handling and storage

Handling Wear personal protective equipment/face protection. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on
clothing. Use only under a chemical fume hood. Do not breathe mist/vapors/spray. Do not
ingest. If swallowed then seek immediate medical assistance. Keep away from clothing and
other combustible materials. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of
ignition.

Storage Keep refrigerated. Corrosives area. Organic peroxides. Keep away from heat, sparks and
flame. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Do not store
near combustible materials.
