Respiratory tract fumes inhalation Bring the injured person to a ventilated place and apply artificial respiration if not breathing. Do not give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Swallowed Unlikely route of exposure Do not induce vomiting. Wash out mouth and give plenty of water to drink. NOTES TO PHYSICIANS OR FIRST AID PROVIDERS: If symptoms develop seek medical attention SECTION 5: FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES No specific direction. When using the product, keep flammable materials away from the work area. SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING EQUIPMENT: Use appropriate fire extinguisher for surrounding environment. Subject to the presence of electrical shock risks, use of water fog is preferred. SPECIFIC HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE CHEMICAL: If involved in a fire generated by other means, resulting in temperature in excess of 600 C, toxic fumes of copper and zinc oxides may be evolved. Oxides of tin, silver and also silica may form. SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND PRECAUTIONS FOR FIRE FIGHTERS: Firefighters should wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing equipment operated in positive pressure mode.
