Do not remove the product and cool immediately with clean water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention. › SKIN CONTACT: Solid product has no hazards in normal conditions. In case of burn by contact with melted product, immediately flush the melted product on skin with plenty of cold water. Do not use solvents. Do not remove solidified prod- uct because skin can be easily torn. › INGESTION: It is difficult to occur in normal conditions of use. In any case, ingestion of solid product is not expected to be hazardous. If symptoms develop and persist, get medical attention. › NOTE FOR MEDICAL SERVICES: Burns must be treated as thermal burns. The product will remove during the cure, so it is advisable not to remove it immediately after the burn is produced. 5 5.1. Extinguishing media: 5.2.
