First Aid Measures
General adviceImmediate medical attention is required.
Eye contact
Keep eye wide open while rinsing. Immediate medical attention is required. Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Do not ru affected area.
Skin Contact
Immediate medical attention is required. Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water.
Inhalation
Remove to fresh air Call a physician or poison control center immediately If not breathing, give artificial respiration If breathing is difficult, give oxygen
Ingestion
Do NOT induce vomiting. Drink plenty of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Immediate medical attention is required. Remove from exposure, lie down. Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. Call a physician o poison control center immediately.

SymptomsNo information available.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Note to physiciansProduct is a corrosive material. Use of gastric lavage or emesis is contraindicated.
Possible perforation of stomach or esophagus should be investigated. Do not give chemical antidotes. Asphyxia from glottal edema may occur. Marked decrease in blood pressure may occur with moist rales, frothy sputum, and high pulse pressure. Treat symptomatically.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for containmentPrevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Cover powder spill with plastic sheet or tarp to minimize spreading. Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal.
Methods for cleaning up
Take up mechanically, placing in appropriate containers for disposal. Clean contaminated surface thoroughly. Use personal protective equipment as required. Cover powder spill with plastic sheet or tarp to minimize spreading and keep powder dry. Avoid creating dust. Soak up with inert absorbent material. Dam up. After cleaning, flush away traces with water.
Precautions for safe handling
Advice on safe handlingAvoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Use personal protective equipment as required.
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Use only with adequate ventilation and in closed systems. Thermal decomposition can lead to release of toxic/corrosive gases and vapors.
