Rinse skin with water/ shower P304 + P340 - IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing

2.3 Other hazards

Physical-Chemical Properties Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. The vapours are heavier than air and may carry along the ground giving a high risk of explosion . Friction generated by product discharge can create static charges of sufficient magnitude to cause SPARKS WHICH MAY LEAD TO FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

Potential health effects

If swallowed accidentally, the product may enter the lungs due to its low viscosity and lead to the rapid development of very serious pulmonary lesions (medical survey during 48 hours).

Environmental effects

Should not be released into the environment.
