	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Above 77°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed.	NO open flames. Above 77°C use a closed system and ventilation.	Use water spray, powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide.

AVOID ALL CONTACT! IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Sore throat. Cough. Burning sensation. Shortness of breath. Laboured breathing.	Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	Pain. Redness. Blisters. Skin burns.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	First rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, then remove contaminated clothes and rinse again. Refer for medical attention .
Eyes	Pain. Redness. Severe burns. Loss of vision.	Wear face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.	Rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible). Refer immediately for medical attention.
Ingestion	Burning sensation. Burns in mouth and throat. Abdominal cramps. Shock or collapse.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Give nothing to drink. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer immediately for medical attention.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure Serious local effects by all routes of exposure. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is corrosive to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Corrosive on ingestion. Inhalation may cause lung oedema, but only after initial corrosive effects on eyes and/or airways have become manifest. Medical observation is indicated. If swallowed the substance may cause vomiting and could result in aspiration pneumonitis.	Inhalation risk No indication can be given whether a harmful concentration in the air will be reached. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis.
