First Aid:EYES: IMMED FLUSH EYES W/PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
MINUTES, OCCASIONALLY LIFTING UPPER AND LOW LIDS. GET MED AID
IMMED. SKIN: GET MED AID. FLUSH SKIN W/PLENTY OF SOAP AND WATER FOR
AT LEAST 15 M INUTES WHILE REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND
SHOES. INGEST: IF VICTIM IS CONSCIOUS AND ALERT, GIVE 2-4 CUPFULS
OF MILK OR WATER. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS
PERSON. GET MED AID I MMEDIATELY. INDUCE VOMITNG BY GIVING ONE
TEASPOON OF SYRUP OF IPECAC. INHAL: GET MEDICAL AID IMMED. REMOVE
FROM EXPOSURE TO FRESH AIR IMMED. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL

Extinguishing Media:SM FIRES, USE DRY CHEM, CO*2, WATER SPRAY OR
ALCOHOL-RESIST FOAM. USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL FIRE-EXPOS CNTNRS.
WATER MAY BE INEFTIVE. DO NOT USE STRAIGHT STREAMS OF WATER. LG
(SUPDAT)
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT .
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VAPS MAY FORM EXPLO MIX W/AIR. VAPS CAN
TRAVEL TO SOURCE OF IGNIT & FLASH BACK. USE WATER SPRAY TO KEEP
FIRE-EXPOSED CNTNRS COOL. FLAM LIQ. MAY FORM EXPLO PEROXIDES. VAPS
MAY BE HAVR/AIR. THEY CAN SPR EAD ALONG GROUND & COLLECT IN
LOW/CONFINED AREAS. MAY BE IGNITED BY HEAT, SPKS & FLAME. CNTNRS
MAY EXPLODE WHEN HEATED.

Spill Release Procedures:USE PROPER PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AS
INDICATED IN SECTION 8, EXPOS CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION. ABSORB
SPILL W/INERT MATERIAL (EG, DRY SAND OR EARTH), THEN PLACE INTO A
CHEMICAL WASTE CONTAIN ER. REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION. PROVIDE
VENTILATION. A VAPOR SUPPRESSING FOAM MAY BE USED TO REDUCE VAPORS.
WATER SPRAY MAY REDUCE VAPOR BUT MAY NOT PREVENT IGNITION IN CLOSED
SPACES.

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPKS & FLAME.
KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT & FLAME. KEEP AWAY FROM SOURCES OF IGNITION.
STORE IN TIGHTLY CLSD CNTNR. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HNDLG. REMOVE
CONTAM CLTHG & WASH BEFORE REUSE. U SE W/ADEQ VENT. GROUND & BOND
CNTNRS WHEN TRANSFERRING MATL. DO NOT GET IN EYES, ON SKIN, ON
CLTHG.
Other Precautions:EMPTY CNTNRS RETAIN PROD RESIDUE (LIQ &/OR VAP) & CAN
BE DANGEROUS. KEEP CNTNR TIGHTLY CLOSED. AVOID CONTACT W/HEAT,
SPARKS & FLAME. DO NOT INGEST OR INHALE. DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT,
WELD, BRAZE, SOLDE R, DRILL, GRIND OR EXPOSE EMPTY CNTNRS TO HEAT,
SPARKS OR OPEN FLAMES.

Respiratory Protection:FOLLOW THE OSHA RESPIRATOR REGULATIONS FOUND IN
29 CFR 1910.134 OR EUROPEAN STANDARD EN 149. ALWAYS USE A NIOSH OR
EUROPEAN STANDARD EN 149 APPROVED RESPIRATOR WHEN NECESSARY.
Ventilation:USE ADEQUATE GENERAL OR LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION TO KEEP
AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS BELOW THE PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS GLOVES .
Eye Protection:ANSI APPROVED CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES & FULL LENGTH
FACESHIELD .
Other Protective Equipment:ANSI APPROVED EYE WASH AND DELUGE SHOWER .
WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING TO PREVENT SKIN EXPOSURE.
