First Aid

First Aid:EYES: GET MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT ALLOW VICTIM TO RUB
OR KEEP EYES CLOSED. EXTENSIVE IRRIGATION (AT LEAST 30 MINUTES).
SKIN: GET MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY. IMMEDIATELY FLUSH SKIN WITH
PLENTY OF SOAP AND WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES WHILE REMOVING
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES. WASH CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE.
DISCARD CONTAMINATED CLOTHING IN A MANNER WHICH LIMITS FURTHER
EXPOSURE. INGESTION: D O NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IF VICTIM IS
CONSCIOUS AND ALERT, GIVE 2-4 CUPFULS OF MILK OR WATER. NEVER GIVE
ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. GET MEDICAL AID
IMMEDIATELY. INHALATION: GET MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY. REMOVE FROM
EXPOSURE.

Fire Fighting

Extinguishing Media:FOR SMALL FIRES, USE DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE,
OR WATER SPRAY. FOR LARGE FIRES, USE DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE,
ALCOHOL-RESISTANT FOAM, OR WATER SPRAY.
Fire Fighting Procedures:DO NOT GET WATER INSIDE CONTAINERS. COOL
CONTAINERS WITH FLOODING QUANTITIES OF WATER UNTIL WELL AFTER FIRE
IS OUT. WEAR NIOSH/MSHA-APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE GEAR.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:DURING A FIRE, IRRITATING AND HIGHLY
TOXIC GASES MAY BE GENERATED BY THERMAL DECOMPOSITION. VAPOR MAY BE
HEAVIER THAN AIR. CONTACT WITH METALS MAY EVOLVE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE
HYDROGEN GAS. NON-COMBUSTIBL E.

Accidental Release

Spill Release Procedures:ABSORB SPILL WITH INERT MATERIAL, (E.G., DRY
SAND OR EARTH), THEN PLACE INTO A CHEMICAL WASTE CONTAINER. AVOID
RUNOFF INTO STORM SEWERS AND DITCHES WHICH LEAD TO WATERWAYS. CLEAN
UP SPILLS IMMEDIATELY , OBSERVING PRECAUTIONS IN THE PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT SECTION. PROVIDE VENTILATION.
Neutralizing Agent:NO DATA PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURER DLA-HMIS: DILUTE
ACID SOLUTION.

Handling

ONLY IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA. DO NOT BREATHE DUST, VAPOR, MIST,
OR GAS. DO NOT GET IN EYES, ON SKIN, OR ON CLOTHING. KEEP CONTAINER
TIGHTLY CLOSED. DO NOT INGEST OR INHALE. DISCARD CONTAMINATED
SHOES. STORAGE: KEEP CONTAINER CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE.
Other Precautions:STORE IN A COOL, DRY WELL-VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM
INCOMPATIBLE SUBSTANCES. KEEP WAY FROM STRONG ACIDS. KEEP AWAY FROM
METALS. KEEP AWAY FROM FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS. KEEP AWAY FROM ORGANIC
HALOGENS.

Exposure Controls

Respiratory Protection:A RESPIRATORY PROTECTION PROGRAM THAT MEETS
OSHA'S 29 CFR :1910.134 AND ANSI Z88.2 REQUIREMENTS OR EUROPEAN
STANDARD EN 149 MUST BE FOLLOWED WHENEVER WORKPLACE CONDITIONS
WARRANT A RESPIRATOR'S USE.
