Chronic: Eyes: Skin: Ingestion: Inhalation: Notes to Physician: General Information: Extinguishing Media: General Information: Spills/Leaks: Handling: Storage: Section 4 - First Aid Measures Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid. Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid. Wash mouth out with water. Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressuredemand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Will burn if involved in a fire. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. Flammable liquid and vapor. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8. Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable container. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Section 7 - Handling and Storage Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Use sparkproof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid breathing dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container. Flammables-area. Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash
facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
