4. First-aid measures
First-Aid measures
Inhalation : If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Obtain medical attention.
Ingestion : Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing
such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention if symptoms
appear.
Skin contact : In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Cover the
irritated skin with an emollient. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Cold water may be used. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes
thoroughly before reuse. Obtain medical attention.
Eye Contact : Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately
flush eyes with a copious amount of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water
may be used. Obtain medical attention.

5. Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing Media
Suitable : Not applicable.
Hazardous thermal (de)composition : These products are nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2...), sulphur oxides (SO2, SO3,
products etc.), phosphates. Some metallic oxides.
Protection of fire-fighters : Fire fighters should wear self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus
(SCBA) and full turnout gear.

6. Accidental release measures


Personal Precautions : Splash goggles. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves.
Environmental precautions and : Stop leak if without risk. Use water spray to reduce vapours. Prevent entry
cleanup methods into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Call for assistance
on disposal.
Note: See section 8 for personal protective equipment and section 13 for waste disposal.

7. Handling and storage


Handling : Keep container dry. Do not breathe dust. Wear suitable protective clothing. If
ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the
label. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, alkalis.
Storage : Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
Packaging materials
Recommended use : Use original container.

8. Exposure controls/personal protection


Engineering measures : Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering
controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user
operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to
airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
Hygiene measures : Wash hands after handling compounds and before eating, smoking, using
lavatory, and at the end of day.
