Inhalation : remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Ingestion : ingestion can cause burns of the mouth, throat,
oesophagus and gastrointestinal tract. DO NOT INDUCE
VOMITING. Give large quantities of water or milk of
magnesia. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Immediately flush with water.
Skin Contact : immediately wash skin with soap and copious amounts of
water.
Eye Contact : immediately flush eyes with copious amounts of water for
at least 15 minutes.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
