Treat symptomatically. Contact poison treatment specialist immediately if large quantities have been ingested or inhaled. 

Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment

Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure

None known.



SECTION 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES


Extinguishing Media 

Suitable Extinguishing Media 

Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, appropriate foam, water spray or fog. 

Unsuitable Extinguishing Media 

None known. 

Specific Hazards Arising from the Product 

Heating increases the release of toxic vapour. Closed containers may rupture violently when heated releasing contents. 

In a fire, the following hazardous materials may be generated: irritating chemicals; toxic chemicals; very toxic carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide. 

Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Fire-fighters 

Evacuate area. Fight fire from a safe distance or a protected location. Approach fire from upwind to avoid hazardous vapours or gases. Knock down vapours or gases with water fog or fine water spray. 

Before entry, especially into confined areas, use an appropriate monitor to check for: toxic gases or vapours. Fire-fighters may enter the area if positive pressure SCBA and full Bunker Gear is worn.



SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES


Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment, and Emergency Procedures 

Emergency responders: evacuate the area immediately. Isolate the hazard area. Keep out unnecessary and unprotected personnel. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled product unless wearing appropriate protective equipment. Increase ventilation to area or move leaking container to a well-ventilated and secure area. Remove or isolate incompatible materials as well as other hazardous materials. 

Environmental Precautions 

It is good practice to prevent releases into the environment. 

Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up 

Stop or reduce leak if safe to do so. Small spills or leaks: flush spill area. 

Large spills or leaks: contain and soak up spill with absorbent that does not react with spilled product. Place used absorbent into suitable, covered, labelled containers for disposal. 



SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE


Precautions for Safe Handling 

Avoid breathing in this product. Do not swallow. Do not get in eyes. Prevent skin contact. Only use where there is adequate ventilation. Avoid generating vapours or mists. Avoid heating that will increase the amount of vapours. Prevent accidental contact with incompatible chemicals. 

Never add water to a corrosive. Always add corrosives slowly to COLD water. Properly vent drums to prevent pressure buildup. Do not handle swollen drums. Contact supervisor for advice. Prevent uncontrolled release of product. Avoid release to the environment. 

Immediately remove any clothing which becomes wet or heavily contaminated. General hygiene considerations: wash hands thoroughly after handling this material. Do NOT eat, drink or store food in work areas. Wash hands thoroughly after handling this product and before eating, using the washroom or leaving work area. Launder clothes before rewearing. Inform laundry personnel of product hazard(s). 

Conditions for Safe Storage 

Store in an area that is: separate from incompatible materials (see Section 10: Stability and Reactivity), cool, well-ventilated. Store in a closed container. Do not handle swollen drums. Get expert advice. 

Comply with all applicable health and safety regulations, fire and building codes.
