you feel unwell: Get medical advice/attention.
Eye Contact
Remove source of exposure or move person to fresh air. Rinse eyes cautiously with lukewarm, gently flowing water for 15-20 minutes,
while holding the eyelids open. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Take care not to rinse contaminated
water into the unaffected eye or onto the face. Get immidiate medical attention.
Ingestion
Do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs naturally, lie on your side, in the recovery position. Immediately call 911 POISON
CENTER/doctor/. Immediately transport to the nearest medical facility for treatment.
SECTION 5) FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable Extinguishing Media
Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide or fog is recommended. Water spray is recommended to cool or protect exposed materials or
structures. Carbon dioxide can displace oxygen. Use caution when applying carbon dioxide in confined spaces. Simultaneous use of
foam and water on the same surface is to be avoided as water destroys the foam. Sand or earth may be used for small fires only.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
No data available.
Specific Hazards in Case of Fire
No data available.
Fire-fighting Procedures
Isolate immediate hazard area and keep unauthorized personnel out. Stop spill/release if it can be done safely. Move undamaged
containers from immediate hazard area if it can be done safely. Water spray may be useful in minimizing or dispersing vapors and to
protect personnel.
Dispose of fire debris and contaminated extinguishing water in accordance with official regulations.
Special Protective Actions
Wear protective pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full turnout gear.
SECTION 6) ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Emergency Procedure
ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area).
RELEASE CAN CAUSE FIRE/EXPLOSION. LIQUIDS/VAPORS MAY IGNITE.
Do not touch or walk through spilled material.
Isolate hazard area and keep unnecessary people away. Remove all possible sources of ignition in the surrounding area. Notify
authorities if any exposure to the general public or the environment occurs or is likely to occur.
If spilled material is cleaned up using a regulated solvent, the resulting waste mixture may be regulated.
Recommended Equipment
Positive pressure, full-facepiece self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), or positive pressure supplied air respirator with escape
SCBA (NIOSH approved).
Personal Precautions
Avoid breathing vapor. Avoid contact with skin, eye or clothing. ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in
immediate area). Use explosive proof equipment. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes. Do not touch damaged
containers or spilled materials unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.
Environmental Precautions
Stop spill/release if it can be done safely. Prevent spilled material from entering sewers, storm drains, other unauthorized drainage
systems and natural waterways by using sand, earth, or other appropriate barriers.
Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning up
Sand, clay and absorbent socks can be used to contain a spill.

SECTION 7) HANDLING AND STORAGE
General
Wash hands after use.
Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing.
Do not breathe vapors or mists.
Use good personal hygiene practices.
Eating, drinking and smoking in work areas is prohibited.
Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.
Eyewash stations and showers should be available in areas where this material is used and stored.
Ventilation Requirements
Use only with adequate ventilation to control air contaminants to their exposure limits. The use of local ventilation is recommended to
control emissions near the source.
Storage Room Requirements
Keep container(s) tightly closed and properly labeled. Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas away from heat, direct sunlight, strong
oxidizers and any incompatibilities. Store in approved containers and protect against physical damage. Keep containers securely sealed
when not in use. Indoor storage should meet OSHA standards and appropriate fire codes. Containers that have been opened must be
carefully resealed to prevent leakage. Empty container retain residue and may be dangerous.
Use non-sparking ventilation systems, approved explosion-proof equipment and intrinsically safe electrical systems in areas where this
product is used and stored.
Ground and bond containers and receiving equipment. Avoid static electricity by grounding.
Electrostatic charges may be generated during pumping. Keep away from aerosols, flammables, oxidizing agents, corrosives and from
other flammable products.
SECTION 8) EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory Protection
If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker, a respiratory protection
program that meets or is equivalent to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 should be followed. Check with respiratory protective
equipment suppliers.
Skin Protection
Use of gloves approved to relevant standards made from the following materials may provide suitable chemical protection: PVC,
neoprene or nitrile rubber gloves. Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on usage, e.g. frequency and duration of contact,
chemical resistance of glove material, glove thickness, dexterity. Always seek advice from glove suppliers. Contaminated gloves should
be replaced. Use of an apron and over- boots of chemically impervious materials such as neoprene or nitrile rubber is recommended to
avoid skin sensitization. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous
substance at the specific workplace. Launder soiled clothes or properly disposed of contaminated material, which cannot be
decontaminated.
Eye Protection
Wear eye protection with side shields or goggles. Wear indirect-vent, impact and splash resistant goggles when working with liquids. If
additional protection is needed for entire face, use in combination with a face shield.
Appropriate Engineering Controls
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their respective threshold
limit value.
