| | General advice | If symptoms persist, call a physician. Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Do not get in eyes, on the skin, or on clothing. |
| | Eye contact | Immediately flush with plenty of water. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Keep eye wide open while rinsing. If symptoms persist, call a physician. |
| | Skin contact | Consult a physician if necessary. Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Wash off immediately with plenty of water. If skin irritation persists, call a physician. Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. Immediate medical attention is not required. |
| | Inhalation | Remove to fresh air If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. Avoid direct contact with skin. Use a barrier to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Artificial respiration and/or oxygen may be necessary. Immediate medical attention is not required. Move to fresh air in case of accidental inhalation of vapors. If symptoms persist, call a physician. |
| | Ingestion | Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse/clean mouth with water and drink plenty of water afterward. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Consult a physician. |

Section 6: Accidental release measures
| 6.1 | Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures |
| | Personal precautions | Use personal protective equipment as required. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. |
| 6.2 | Environmental precautions |
| | Environmental precautions | Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Prevent product from entering drains. Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. See Section 12 for additional Ecological Information. |
| 6.3 | Methods and material for containment and cleaning up |

Take up mechanically, placing in appropriate containers for disposal. Avoid creating dust. Clean contaminated surfaces thoroughly. Soak up with inert absorbent material. Dam up. Pick up and transfer to properly labeled containers. Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal. After cleaning, flush away traces with water. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. |
