SECTION 4 — FIRST AID MEASURES

Call a POISON CENTER or physician if you feel unwell (P312).
If inhaled: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing (P304+P340).
If in eyes: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do so. Continue rinsing (P305+P351+P338). Immediately call a POISON CENTER or physician (P310).
If on skin or hair: Immediately remove all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water (P303+P361+P353).
If swallowed: Rinse mouth. Immediately call a POISON CENTER or physician (P301+P310+P330).

SECTION 5 — FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Nonflammable, noncombustible solution, but a powerful oxidizer.
Strong oxidizing agent; dangerous fire and explosion risk when in contact with combustible materials.
In case of fire: Use a tri-class dry chemical fire extinguisher.
In case of major fire and large quantities: Evacuate area. Fight fire remotely due to the risk of explosions (P371+P380+P375).
