4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Ingestion
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Immediate medical attentionisrequired. Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Get medical attention.
Inhalation
Remove from exposure, lie down. Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminatedclothes and shoes. Get medical attention. Remove and wash contaminated clothingandgloves, including the inside, before re-use.
Eye Contact
Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids.Consult a physician. Get medical attention.
Other Information
Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, take precautionstoprotect themselves and prevent spread of contamination.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed - Difficulty in breathing. Inhalation of high vapour concentrations may cause symptomslikeheadache, dizziness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting.

5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing equipment
Water mist may be used to cool closed containers. This material is lighter than water and insoluble in water. The fire couldeasilybe spread by the use of water in an area where the water cannot be contained. Water spray. Carbon dioxide (CO 2). Foam. Drychemical. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Chemical foam. water fog.

Special protective equipment and precautions for fire fighters
Use water spray to cool unopened containers.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Use personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Beware of vapours accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapours can accumulate in low areas.
For personal protection see section 8.
