Description of first aid measures
General adviceMost important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing mediaSpecial hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Nature of decomposition products not known. Combustible.
Vapors are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Forms explosive mixtures with air on intense heating.
Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapours possible in the event of fire.
Advice for firefighters
Stay in danger area only with self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent skin contact by keeping a safe distance or by wearing suitable protective clothing.
Further information
Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system.
NFPA 704
| HEALTH | 1 | Exposure would cause irritation with only minor residual injury (e.g. acetone, sodium bromate, potassium chloride) | |
| FIRE | 1 | Materials that require considerable preheating, under all ambient temperature conditions, before ignition and combustion can occur. Includes some finely divided suspended solids that do not require heating before ignition can occur. Flash point at or above 93.3 °C (200 °F). (e.g. mineral oil, ammonia) | |
| REACT | 0 | Normally stable, even under fire exposure conditions, and is not reactive with water (e.g. helium,N2) | |
| SPEC. HAZ. |
