Eyes In case of eye contact, rinse with plenty of water and seek medical attention immediately.
Inhalation Move casualty to fresh air and keep at rest. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention.
Skin Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
clothing and wash using soap. Get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion Do Not Induce Vomiting! Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If
conscious, wash out mouth with water. Get medical attention immediately.

Suitable (and unsuitable) Product is not flammable. Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry
extinguishing media chemical or carbon dioxide. Use flooding quantities of water to cool
containers.
Special protective equipment Wear self-contained, approved breathing apparatus and full protective
and precautions for firefighters clothing, including eye protection and boots.
