General Advice: Move victim to fresh air. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Keep at rest. Provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Call a physician.
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical assistance if symptoms continue.
Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally, for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Seek medical assessment.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek immediate attention.
Symptoms of Exposure: Irritation, headache, nausea, dizziness, abdominal discomfort
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, alcohol foam, dry chemical powder, or carbon dioxide.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: High volume water jet may spread fire.
Hazards from Combustion: Combustion may produce hydrogen bromide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and other toxic gases.
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective gear.
Firefighting Instructions: Remain upwind. Cool exposed containers with water spray. Avoid inhaling decomposition products.
Flash Point: Approx. 145°C (information may vary)
