______________________________________________________________________________________________
Skin Contact
Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove and wash contaminated clothing and gloves, including
the inside, before re-use. Call a physician immediately.

Inhalation
If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Remove from exposure, lie down. 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. Call a physician immediately.

Ingestion
Do NOT induce vomiting. Clean mouth with water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician
immediately.

Most important symptoms and effects
Causes burns by all exposure routes. Product is a corrosive material. Use of gastric lavage or emesis is contraindicated. Possible
perforation of stomach or esophagus should be investigated: Ingestion causes severe swelling, severe damage to the delicate
tissue and danger of perforation


Self-Protection of the First Aider
Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, take precautions to protect themselves and prevent spread of
contamination.

Notes to Physician
Treat symptomatically.

                          SECTION 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES


Suitable Extinguishing Media
Not combustible. CO 2, dry chemical, dry sand, alcohol-resistant foam.

Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons
No information available.

Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors. The product causes burns of eyes, skin and mucous
membranes.


Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full
protective gear. Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors.

                       SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES


Personal Precautions
Ensure adequate ventilation. Use personal protective equipment as required. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Keep people away
from and upwind of spill/leak.


Environmental Precautions
Should not be released into the environment. Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system. Do not flush into surface
water or sanitary sewer system.


Methods for Containment and Clean Up
Soak up with inert absorbent material. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.


Refer to protective measures listed in Sections 8 and 13.

Engineering Measures
Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Wherever possible, engineering control
measures such as the isolation or enclosure of the process, the introduction of process or equipment changes to minimise release
or contact, and the use of properly designed ventilation systems, should be adopted to control hazardous materials at source.

   Respiratory Protection       When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use
                                      appropriate certified respirators.
                              To protect the wearer, respiratory protective equipment must be the correct fit and be used
                               and maintained properly

   Large scale/emergency use      In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment
                           Recommended Filter type: Acid gases filter

   Small scale/Laboratory use     Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149:2001 approved respirator if exposure
                                              limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
                           When RPE is used a face piece Fit Test should be conducted
