2 Issued date: 01/December/2010 Document: SDS-DT Page 2 of 5 4 First aid measures After excessive inhalation: Remove exposed person to fresh air (away from aerosolized product). If exposed person is not breathing, give artificial respiration. If inhalation has resulted in labored breathing, respiratory tract irritation or other symptoms, seek medical attention. Inhalation of used product should be considered a biohazard exposure incident. After skin contact: In case of skin contact with contents of product wash the area with plenty of soap and water for at least fifteen minutes. Remove clothing and shoes if in contact with contents of product and wash clothing and shoes before reuse. Should irritation of the skin persist, seek medical attention. Nonintact skin contact with used product should be considered a biohazard exposure incident. After eye contact: Immediately flush eye(s) with water for at least fifteen minutes occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Should irritation of the eye(s) persist, seek medical attention. Eye contact with used product should be considered a biohazard exposure incident. After swallowing: Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Wash mouth. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing such as collar, tie, belt or waistband. 5 First-fighting measures 5.1 Suitable extinguishing agents For small fire use dry chemical powder. For large fire use water spray, fog or foam. 5.2 For safety reasons unsuitable extinguishing agents: Do not use water jet. 5.3 Protective equipment: Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. 6 Accidental release measures 6.1 Person related safety precautions: Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye protection. Ventilate area of leak or spill. 6.2 Measures for environmental protection Avoid dispersing dust into the air. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Reduce airborne dust and prevent scattering by moistening with water. Small spill: Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements. Large spill and leak: Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface. 6.3 Measures for cleaning / collecting: Avoid dust elevation. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose
