Status : Not applicable SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES Description of first aid measures General advice : Immediate medical attention is required. Move out of dangerous area. Show this SAFETY data SHEET to the doctor in attendance. If inhaled : If breathed in, move person into fresh air. Consult a physician after significant exposure. In case of skin contact : Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Immediate medical treatment is necessary as untreated wounds from corrosion of the skin heal slowly and with difficulty. If skin irritation persists, call a physician. In case of eye contact : Rinse with plenty of water. Get medical attention immediately. Continue to rinse during transport. Remove contact lenses. Protect unharmed eye. Keep eye wide open while rinsing.

Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Take victim immediately to hospital. Do not induce vomiting! May cause chemical burns in mouth and throat. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Symptoms : The symptoms and effects are as expected from the hazards as shown in section 2. No specific product related symptoms are known. Risks : Harmful if swallowed, in contact with skin or if inhaled. Causes serious eye damage. May cause respiratory irritation. Causes severe burns. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Treatment : Treat symptomatically. SECTION 5: FIREFIGHTING MEASURES Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing media : Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

6 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture Specific hazards during firefighting / Specific hazards arising from the chemical : Water spray may be ineffective unless used by experienced firefighters. Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses. Combustion products : Carbon oxides Nitrogen oxides (NOx) Advice for firefighters Special protective equipment for firefighters : In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Further information : Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains. Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. For SAFETY reasons in case of fire, cans should be stored separately in closed containments. SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Personal precautions : Use personal protective equipment.
