4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: In case of contact, or suspected contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention immediately after flushing.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water.
Ingestion: Slowly dilute with 1-2 glasses of water and seek medical attention. Never give anything
by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation: No specific treatment is necessary since material is not likely to be hazardous by
inhalation. If exposed to excessive levels of dust or fumes, remove to fresh air and get
medical attention if cough or other symptoms develop.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media: All standard firefighting media
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazards: Fire will produce oxides of carbon.
Special Protective Equipment: Fire fighters should wear full protective clothing, including self-contained breathing
equipment.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautionary Use appropriate protective equipment. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus in
Measures: enclosed areas.
Procedure for Contain spill with sand or other inert materials.
