First-Aid Measures
| General Advice |
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek medical advice if unwell (show label). |
| If Inhaled |
Remove to fresh air. Keep at rest. Get medical advice/attention. |
| In Case of Skin Contact |
Immediately drench affected area with water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing. Obtain medical attention if irritation persists. |
| In Case of Eye Contact |
Immediately rinse with water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses. Obtain medical attention if irritation persists. |
| If Swallowed |
Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Immediately call a POISON CENTER/doctor. Obtain medical attention. |
| Most Important Symptoms (Acute) |
Harmful if inhaled. Aspiration hazard. High concentrations may cause CNS depression (dizziness, drowsiness), respiratory irritation, and potential cardiac sensitization. |
| Immediate Medical Attention Note |
No specific treatment regimen. Treatment should be directed at the control of symptoms and clinical condition. Careful consideration should be applied preceding administration of epinephrine or similar heart-stimulating substances (due to cardiac sensitization risk). |
Fire-Fighting & Accidental Release Measures
| Suitable Extinguishing Media |
Dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide (CO2). |
| Specific Hazards (Fire) |
Container may explode in heat of fire (Pressure build-up). Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to an ignition source. Reacts with strong oxidizing agents. |
| Firefighting Actions |
Do NOT fight fire when fire reaches containers. Evacuate area. Fight fire remotely. Use water spray for cooling. Wear NIOSH-approved Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). |
| Hazardous Combustion Products |
Carbon oxide(s), chlorine, hydrogen chloride, and phosgene. |
| Personal Precautions (Spill) |
Keep away from ignition sources. Do not breathe vapors/gas. Use appropriate PPE. Evacuate unnecessary personnel. |
| Containment & Cleanup |
Eliminate ignition sources. Ventilate the area. Contain spills with dikes/absorbents. Take up liquid spill into absorbent material for disposal. |
| Environmental Precautions |
Prevent entry to sewers and public waters. Avoid release to the environment (Toxic to aquatic life). |
Handling, Storage & PPE
| Precautions for Safe Handling |
Do not pressurize, cut, or weld containers. Avoid contact with skin/eyes. Do not breathe vapors/mist. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. |
| Conditions for Safe Storage |
Store in a dry, cool, well-ventilated place, away from ignition sources and incompatible materials. Protect from sunlight. Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 50°C/122°F. Store locked up. Proper grounding required. |
