8.1 acid corrosive products

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing agent: alcohol-resistant foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide. Do not shoot water directly to the molten material, so as not to cause serious fire or violent boiling

Emergency treatment

Inhalation: quickly leave the scene to fresh air. Keep the airway unobstructed. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing stops, give artificial respiration immediately. Seek medical attention

Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water and drink milk or egg taken by mistake. Seek medical attention

Skin contact: Take off 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 normal saline for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention
