4. First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures

General advice Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Immediate medical attention is
required. IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention.

Inhalation Remove to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. Get medical
attention immediately. 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. If breathing is difficult, (trained personnel
should) give oxygen. Delayed pulmonary edema may occur. Get medical attention
immediately if symptoms occur.

Eye contact Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Keep
eye wide open while rinsing. Do not rub affected area. Remove contact lenses, if present
and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.

Skin contact Rinse immediately contaminated clothing and skin with plenty of water before removing
clothes. In the case of skin irritation or allergic reactions see a physician. Wash
contaminated clothing before reuse.

Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting. Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention immediately
if symptoms occur.

Self-protection of the first aider Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, take precautions to
protect themselves and prevent spread of contamination. Wear personal protective clothing
(see section 8). Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Avoid direct contact with skin. Use
barrier to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Symptoms Burning sensation.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Note to physicians Product is a corrosive material. Use of gastric lavage or emesis is contraindicated.
Possible perforation of stomach or esophagus should be investigated. Do not give
chemical antidotes. Asphyxia from glottal edema may occur. Marked decrease in blood
pressure may occur with moist rales, frothy sputum, and high pulse pressure.

5. Fire-fighting measures
Suitable Extinguishing Media Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the
surrounding environment.
Large Fire CAUTION: Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient.
