2 4. First-aid measures Inhalation Skin contact Eye contact Ingestion Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed General information Move to fresh air. Oxygen or artificial respiration if needed. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim inhaled the substance. Induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. For minor skin contact, avoid spreading material on unaffected skin. Wash clothing separately before reuse. Rinse skin with water/shower. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. If a contact lens is present, DO NOT delay irrigation or attempt to remove the lens. Continue rinsing. Flush eyes with water as a precaution. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Never give anything by mouth to a victim who is unconscious or is having convulsions. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested the substance. Do not induce vomiting without advice from poison control center. Induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Rinse mouth. If ingestion of a large amount does occur, call a poison control center immediately. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Treat symptomatically. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. 5. Fire-fighting measures Suitable extinguishing media Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Unsuitable extinguishing media Specific hazards arising from the chemical Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters Fire fighting equipment/instructions Specific methods General fire hazards 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Environmental precautions 7. Handling and storage Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire. During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed. Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted. Keep unnecessary personnel away. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Following product recovery, flush area with water. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Precautions for safe handling Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities 8. Exposure controls/personal protection Store in original tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). Occupational exposure limits No exposure limits noted for ingredient(s). Biological limit values Appropriate engineering controls No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s). Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). 2 / 6

3 Skin protection Hand protection Other Respiratory protection Thermal hazards General hygiene considerations Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Wear suitable protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants. 9. Physical and chemical properties Appearance Odor Physical state Form Color Odor threshold ph Solid. Solid. White.
