Types of Hazard/ Exposure	Acute Hazards/ Symptoms	Prevention	First Aid/ Fire Fighting
FIRE	Explosive. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.	NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking. NO contact with flammable substances.	Water in large amounts.
Explosion	Risk of fire and explosion.	Do NOT expose to friction or shock.	In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

Exposure		PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!
•Inhalation	Sore throat. Cough.	Local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest.
•Skin	Redness. Pain.	Protective gloves.	First rinse with plenty of water, then remove contaminated clothes and rinse again.
•Eyes	Redness. Pain.	Safety goggles .	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
•Ingestion		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Do NOT induce vomiting. Give plenty of water to drink. Refer for medical attention.

Spillage Disposal

Storage

Packaging & Labelling

Evacuate danger area and consult an expert in case of large spill. Do NOT wash away into sewer. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Do NOT absorb in saw-dust or other combustible absorbents. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers; if appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting.

Fireproof. Store in an area without drain or sewer access. Separated from combustible and reducing substances.

UN Hazard Class: 5.1
