  ACUTE HAZARDS PREVENTION FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION Flammable.  Above 25°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed.  NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking.  Above 25°C use a closed system, ventilation and explosion-proof electrical equipment.  Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, powder.  In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. 

   
  SYMPTOMS PREVENTION FIRST AID
Inhalation   Use ventilation.  Fresh air, rest. 
Skin Redness. Pain.  Protective gloves.  Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
