SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES

4.1 Description of first aid measures
Eye contact Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue
rinsing. If irritation, blurred vision or swelling occurs and persists, obtain medical advice from a specialist.

Inhalation If breathing is difficult, remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If
casualty is unconscious and: If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide
artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. Get medical attention if adverse health effects persist or
are severe. Maintain an open airway.
Skin contact Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Handle with care and dispose of in a safe
manner. Seek medical attention if skin irritation, swelling or redness develops and persists.

Ingestion Immediately give a glass of water.

First aid is not generally required. If in doubt, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor

Protection of first-aiders
Ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable atmosphere is present before entry into confined
spaces.

4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Potential acute health effects
Eye contact Eye contact may cause redness and transient pain.
Inhalation No Known significant effects or critical hazards.
Skin contact No known significant effects or critical hazards.
Ingestion May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways.

4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Notes to physician Due to low viscosity there is a risk of aspiration if the product enters the lungs. Treat symptomatically.
Specific treatments Always assume that aspiration has occurred.

SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

5.1 Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media The product contains a substantial proportion of water, therefore there are no restrictions on the
Unsuitable extinguishing media type of extinguishing media which may be used. Choice of extinguishing media should take into
account surrounding areas.Though the material is non-combustible, evaporation of water from the
mixture, caused by the heat of nearby fire, may produce floating layers of
combustible substances.In such an event consider:
foam.
dry chemical powder.
carbon dioxide.
5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Hazards from the substance If heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst.
or mixture Solid urea decomposes above the melting point(132.7°c to 135°C).Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide,
Hazardous thermal ammonia,nitrogen may be produced.
decomposition products

5.3 Advice for firefighters

Special precautions for firefighters Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident . No action shall be taken
involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with
a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode. Clothing for fire-fighters (including helmets, protective
boots and gloves) conforming to European standard EN 469 will provide a basic level of protection for chemical
incidents.
