2 For the full text of the R phrases mentioned in this Section, see Section FIRST AID MEASURES Eye Contact Skin Contact Ingestion Inhalation Notes to Physician Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Immediate medical attention is required. Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek immediate medical attention/advice. Clean mouth with water. Immediate medical attention is required. Move to fresh air. Obtain medical attention. Treat symptomatically. 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Suitable Extinguishing Media Dry chemical. Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons Water Foam Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical Contact with water liberates extremely flammable gases. Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear Flash Point Method Autoignition Temperature 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal Precautions Environmental Precautions Methods for Containment and Clean Up Ensure adequate ventilation. Use personal protective equipment. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Avoid dust formation. Remove all sources of ignition. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Should not be released into the environment. Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal Do not expose spill to water Page 2 / 7

3 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling Storage Specific use(s) Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation. Wear personal protective equipment. Do not breathe vapors/dust. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep at temperatures between 2 and 25 C. Never allow product to get in contact with water during storage. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. 8.
