First aid measures Very harmful if ingested as coagulation may occur instantly in the intestines. Toxic to aquatic organisms. Effects and symptoms Inhalation: Ingestion: Skin contact: Eye contact: Aggravating conditions: Slightly hazardous by inhalation (lung irritant). Hazardous if ingested as coagulation may occur instantly in the intestines. Harmful in case of skin contact (irritant, sensitizer). Slightly hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant). First aid measures Inhalation: Ingestion: Skin contact: Allow exposed persons to rest in a well ventilated area. Do not induce vomiting. Rinse out mouth with copious quantities of water and obtain medical attention. Swab affected skin with Ethanol and wash with water and soap. Continued on next page Version: 1. Page no. 1 of 5.

2 Eye contact: Note to Physician: Protection of first-aiders: 5. Fire fighting measures Suitable extinguishing media: Special fire-fighting procedures: Unusual/explosion hazards: Hazardous thermal decomposition Products: Protection of fire-fighters: Check for and remove contact lenses and rinse the eyes with clean water. Obtain medical attention. Treat symptomatically. Wear a surgical mask and latex gloves. Small fire: use dry powder, Large fire: use alcohol resistant foam, never use strong water jets. Remove unaffected containers, if safe. Keep all persons up-wind from fire. Unopened containers may explode if subjected to fire. Oxides of Carbon. Fire fighters should wear full turn-out gear and correct type respirators. 6. Accidental release measures Personal Precautions: Environmental precautions And clean-up methods: Splash goggles, gloves, boots, respirator, full suit.
