First Aid:EYES: FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH WATER, CONTINUING FOR AT LEAST
15 MINUTES. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN:
FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER, REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. IF
IRRITATION D EVELOPS, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. INHALATION: PROMPLY

Flash Point:NOT FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:PRODUCT IS NONFLAMMABLE. USE ANY EXTINGUISHING
AGENT SUITABLE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SCBA & FULL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT . USE WATER SPRAY TO KEEP CONTAINERS COOL.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:AT TEMPS >760C (>1400F), SULFUR OXIDES
GASES. THESE ARE TOX & ARE OXIDIZERS & CORR. TRIOXIDE IS ALSO FIRE
HAZ. LOSS OF THESE GASES LEAVES CAUSTIC RESIDUE.

Spill Release Procedures:DILUTE SMALL SPILLS OR LEAKS CAUTIOUSLY WITH
PLENTY OF WATER. NEUTRALIZE ANY FURTHER RESIDUE WITH ALKALI SUCH AS
SODA ASH, LIME OR LIMESTONE. ADEQUATE VENTILATION IS REQUIRED IF
SODA ASH OR LIMESTONE IS USED BECAUSE OF CONSEQUENT RELS OF CARBON
DIOXIDE GAS. LARGE SPILLS: DIKE UP WITH SODA ASH, AND NEUTRALIZE
AND SO FORTH AS ABOVE.
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH OR LIMESTONE.

NOT BE EXPOSED TO TEMPERATURES ABOVE 760C (1400 F): THESE YIELD
TOXIC AND CORROSIVE GASES.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:AT TEMPERATURES CITED ABOVE, SULFUR
OXIDE GASES. THESE ARE TOXIC AND ARE OXIDIZERS AND CORROSIVE. THE
TRIOXIDE IS ALSO A FIRE HAZARD. THE LOSS OF THESE GASES LEAVES A
CAUSTIC RESIDUE.
Conditions to Avoid Polymerization:WILL NOT OCCUR.
