Exposures to whole units are unlikely to produce health hazards. Immediately remove any clothing soiled by the product. Symptoms of poisoning may even occur after several hours; therefore medical observation for at least 48 hours after the accident. Take affected persons out into the fresh air. · After inhalation: Unlikely route of exposure. Supply fresh air. Seek immediate medical advice. Provide oxygen treatment if affected person has difficulty breathing. In case of unconsciousness place patient stably in side position for transportation. · After skin contact: Unlikely route of exposure. Immediately rinse with water. Seek immediate medical advice. Immediate medical treatment necessary. Failure to treat burns can prevent wounds from healing. · After eye contact: Unlikely route of exposure. Remove contact lenses if worn, if possible. Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water. Then consult a doctor. · After swallowing: Unlikely route of exposure. Rinse out mouth and then drink plenty of water.

In contact with water releases flammable gases, which may ignite spontaneously. During heating or in case of fire poisonous gases are produced. Reacts violently with water. · Advice for firefighters · Protective equipment: Wear self-contained respiratory protective device. Do not inhale explosion gases or combustion gases. Wear fully protective suit. · Additional information: Evacuate area and fight fire from from the upwind side. 6 Accidental release measures · Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Use respiratory protective device against the effects of fumes/dust/aerosol. Wear protective equipment. Keep unprotected persons away. Ensure adequate ventilation. [In case of inadequate ventilation] wear respiratory protection. Keep people at a distance and stay upwind. Do not allow contact with water. · Environmental precautions Do not allow to enter sewers/ surface or ground water. · Methods and material for containment and cleaning up If a spill is small, a trained person may attempt to stop or contain the leak by carefully neutralizing spill with calcium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate. Seal leaking container and neutralized product in a plastic bag and transfer to a lidded container for disposal or recovery. Consult an accredited waste disposal contractor or the local authority for additional advice. Large spills should only be handled by specially trained hazardous materials personnel. Do not flush with water or aqueous cleansing agents Send for recovery or disposal in suitable receptacles. · Reference to other sections See Section 7 for information on safe handling.
