Do not breathe dust /fume /gas /mist /vapors /spray. Eye contact Immediately flush eyes with gentle stream of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower eyelids. Call a physician immediately. Skin contact Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. If symptoms persist, call a physician. Excess acid on skin can be neutralized with a 2% solution of sodium bicarbonate in water. 2.

If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting. Drink plenty of water. Call a physician immediately. Self-protection of the first aider Use personal protective equipment. See section 8 for more information. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES Suitable extinguishing media Dry chemical or CO 2. DO NOT USE WATER. Specific hazards arising from the chemical Contact with most metals causes the formation of explosive and flammable hydrogen gas. React vigorously with water. Protective equipment and precautions for firefightersAs in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Personal precautions Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and inhalation of vapors. Use personal protective equipment. See section 8. Environmental precautions See Section 12 for additional Ecological Information. Beware of vapors accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapors can accumulate in low areas. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up Methods for containment Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local / national regulations (see Section 13). Methods for cleaning up Neutralize spill with alkaline material (sodium bicarbonate), being careful to prevent splattering, then containerize slurry and hold for later disposal. If local regulations permit, dilute slurry with water and rinse to drain with excess water. After cleaning, flush away traces with water. 7.
