Fire-fighting measures Firefighters must wear self-contained respirators and anti-acid and alkali protective clothing. Extinguish the fire from the upwind direction and move the container from the fire to an open area as much as possible. Water spray cools the container in the fire to prevent explosion. Avoid direct impact of water flow on the material, prevent leakage spread and environmental pollution. Combustion products may include carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur oxides, and sodium oxide. Fire extinguishing medium: extinguish the fire with water mist, anti-alcohol foam, dry powder or carbon dioxide.
Emergency treatment Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing immediately and rinse with plenty of running water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention. Eye contact: Lift the eyelid immediately and rinse thoroughly with plenty of running water or saline for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention. Inhalation: Quickly leave the scene to fresh air. Keep your airways open. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing stops, perform artificial respiration immediately. Seek medical attention. Accidental ingestion: Rinse your mouth with water and give milk or egg white. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention.
