Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:

First Aid: INHALATION: If adverse effects occur, remove to
uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing.
If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by
qualified personnel. Get immediate medical attention. SKIN CONTACT:
Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention, if
needed. Thoroughly clean and dry contaminated clothing and shoes
before reuse. EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes. Then get immediate medical attention. INGESTION:
If vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to help prevent
aspiration. If person is unconscious, turn head to side. Get
medical attention immediately. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: For inhalation,
consider oxygen. For ingestion, consider gastric lavage. Consider
oxygen.

Flash Point:No data available.
Lower Limits:6.0%
Upper Limits:15.5%
Extinguishing Media:carbon dioxide, regular dry chemical Large fires:
Use regular foam or flood with fine water spray.
Fire Fighting Procedures:Cool containers with water spray until well
after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. For tank,
rail car or tank truck, evacuation radius: 800 meters (1/2 mile).

Handling and Storage Precautions:Store and handle in accordance with
all current regulations and standards. Protect from physical
damage. Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a well-ventilated
area. Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition.

incompatible substances.
Other Precautions:

Respiratory Protection:The following respirators and maximum use
concentrations are drawn from NIOSH and/or OSHA. At any detectable
concentration - Any self-contained breathing apparatus that has a
full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other
positive-pressure mode. Any supplied-air respirator with full
facepiece and operated in a pressure-demand or other
positive-pressure mode in combination with a separate escape
supply. Escape - Any air-purifying respirator with a full facepiece
and an organic vapor canister. Any appropriate escape-type,
self-contained breathing apparatus. For Unknown Concentrations or
Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health - Any supplied-air
respirator with full facepiece and operated in a pressure-demand or
other positive-pressure mode in combination with a separate escape
supply. Any self-contained breathing apparatus with a full
facepiece.
Ventilation:Provide local exhaust or process enclosure ventilation
system. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure limits.
Protective Gloves:Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Eye Protection:Wear splash resistant safety goggles with a faceshield.
Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in
the immediate work area.
Other Protective Equipment:Wear appropriate chemical resistant
clothing.
