4. First aid measures
Eye contact In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical
attention if symptoms occur.
Skin contact Immediately wash exposed skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
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 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, discoloured 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 minimise 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.
Fire-fighting procedures

Flash point Open cup: 220°C (428°F)
Extinguishing media
Suitable Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire.
Not suitable Do not use water jet.
6. Accidental release measures
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Keep unnecessary
and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. In
accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety work practices, airborne exposures should be
controlled to the lowest extent practicable. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate
respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see
section 8).
