Tab.2 Precautions for use
First aid
If inhaled:
Evacuate the subject from the contaminated area and take him into the
open air.
If feeling unwell: call a doctor.
In the event of contact with the skin:

Fire prevention meas
ures
Appropriate extinguishing agents: All extinguishing agents can be used.
Inappropriate extinguishing agents: none to our knowledge. In the event of
fire nearby, use the appropriate extinguishing agents.
Specific hazards:
Rise in pressure: in the presence of air, an inflammable mixture may form
under certain temperature and pressure conditions.
Toxic and corrosive vapours may be released by the effect of the heat.
Special intervention methods: cool the volumes exposed to heat with water
spray.
Protection of the firemen:
Full self-contained breathing apparatus.
Complete body protection.
In the event of acciden
tal spillage
Individual precautions:
Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
Do not intervene without appropriate protective equipment.
Do not inhale the vapours.
Evacuate the hazardous area.
Stop the leakage.
Eradicate all sources of ignition.
Ventilate the spillage area mechanically.
Cleaning / decontamination: allow any residual product to evaporate.
In the event of contact with the eyes: Rinse immediately with water, holding
the eyelids well apart (for at least 15 minutes). Consult an ophthalmologist
immediately.
