Notes to Physician:
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance. As in any fire,
wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand,
MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Vapors
can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Will burn if
involved in a fire. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers
cool.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use spark-proof
tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid breathing dust, vapor,
mist, or gas. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container.
