ACUTE HAZARDS/ SYMPTOMS

PREVENTION

FIRST AID/
FIRE FIGHTING

FIRE Combustible.
NO open flames.
Powder, AFFF, foam, carbon dioxide.
EXPLOSION Above 88°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed.
Above 88°C use a closed system, ventilation.

EXPOSURE
PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS!

•INHALATION Cough. Sore throat.
Ventilation.
Fresh air, rest.
•SKIN Redness.
Protective gloves. Protective clothing.
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention.
•EYES Redness. Pain.
Face shield.
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
•INGESTION
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.
Rinse mouth. Give plenty of water to drink.
