Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse. Get medical attention if
symptoms occur.
Inhalation If inhaled, remove to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Ingestion Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person. If potentially dangerous quantities of this material have been
swallowed, call a physician immediately. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Notes to physician Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.
Note: High Pressure Applications
Injections through the skin resulting from contact with the product at high pressure constitute a
major medical emergency. Injuries may not appear serious at first but within a few hours tissue
becomes swollen, discolored and extremely painful with extensive subcutaneous necrosis.
Surgical exploration should be undertaken without delay. Thorough and extensive debridement of
the wound and underlying tissue is necessary to minimize tissue loss and prevent or limit
permanent damage. Note that high pressure may force the product considerable distances along
tissue planes.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there is a fire.
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
Protective clothing (fire) Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
