Eye Contact
Immediate medical attention is required. Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.
Skin Contact
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. Immediate medical attention is required.
Inhalation
Remove from exposure, lie down. Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Immediate medical attention is required.
Ingestion
Do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician immediately.
Most important symptoms and effects
Causes burns by all exposure routes. Product is a corrosive material. Use of gastric lavage or emesis is contraindicated. Possible perforation of stomach or esophagus should be investigated: Ingestion causes severe swelling, severe damage to the delicate tissue and danger of perforation
Self-Protection of the First Aider
Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, take precautions to protect themselves and prevent spread of contamination.
Notes to Physician
Treat symptomatically.
Suitable Extinguishing Media
Carbon dioxide (CO2). Dry chemical. Chemical foam.
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons
No information available.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors.
Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.

Handling
Do not breathe mist/vapors/spray. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not ingest. If swallowed then seek immediate medical assistance. Handle product only in closed system or provide appropriate exhaust ventilation.
Storage
Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Corrosives area. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.
Specific Use(s)
Use in laboratories
Control Parameters
Exposure Controls
Engineering Measures
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Wherever possible, engineering control measures such as the isolation or enclosure of the process, the introduction of process or equipment changes to minimise release or contact, and the use of properly designed ventilation systems, should be adopted to control hazardous materials at source.
Personal protective equipment
Eye ProtectionGoggles (European standard - EN 166)
Hand Protection
Protective gloves
