  ACUTE HAZARDS PREVENTION FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION Combustible.  Above 75°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed.  NO open flames.  Above 75°C use a closed system, ventilation and explosion-proof electrical equipment.  In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media.  In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. 

   
  SYMPTOMS PREVENTION FIRST AID
Inhalation   Use ventilation.  Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
