Kat.2 R 60-61 4. First-aid measures: General information If any of the symptoms occur seek medical attention immediately. Show physician product label, or packaging. Inhalation: Not expected to present an inhalation hazard. Skin contact: Not expected to present a skin hazard. Eye contact: Issue date: 01.02.2005 Updating date: 19.10.2010 Page 1 of 6
Check for and remove contact lenses. Keeping victim s eyes opened flush them with water for At least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist. Ingestion: If large quantity swallowed, give lukewarm water (1/2 litre) if victim completely conscious/alert. Do not induce vomiting. Seek emergency medical attention. 5. Fire fighting measures: Fire extinguishing media: - CO 2, - dry chemicals, - water spray, - alcohol-resistant foam. Inappropriate fire extinguishing media: Solid streams of water. Unusual fire and explosion hazards: Heat from fire can generate flammable vapour. Fine sprays/mists may be combustible at temperatures below normal flash point. When mixed with air and expose to ignition source, vapours can burn in open space or explode if confined. Vapours May be heavier than air. Container may burst under intense heat. Incomplete combustion may produce carbon monoxide and other toxic gases. Special fire fighting procedure: Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and gas-tight suit. Additional information: Make bystanders leave fire area. Cool fire expose containers with water spray and remove them from fire area if it can be done without risk. When spilled, it may cause slipping. Prevent contaminated water and extinguishing agents from entering waterways. 6. Accidental release measures: Personal precautions: Make bystanders leave hazard area. Ensure good ventilation. Wear protective clothing. Environmental precautions: Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Remove all sources of ignition. Prevent the product from entering waterways, surface waters, ground waters. Notify proper local authorities if big quantities of the product were released or environmental contamination occurred. Procedures for cleaning/removing: Embank and pump over into marked containers big quantities of the released product. Small amounts: take up with non-flammable absorbent material and collect in the marked, tightly sealed container for disposal. Rinse off the affected area with water. Place damaged packaging In a container for disposal. Remove as recommended in p.13. 7.
