======================= First Aid Measures =======================
Eyes: FLUSH W/PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINS. SKIN:
WASH THOROUGHLY W/SOAP & WATER. INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR.
GIVE CPR OR OXYGEN IF NEEDED. INGESTION: DON'T INDUCE VOMITING.
DILUTE BY GIV ING LARGE VOLUMES OF MILK OR WATER. NEVER ATTEMPT TO
GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. OBTAIN MEDICAL
ATTENTION.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NONFLAMMABLE
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE SELF-CONTAINED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONTACT W/REACTIVE METALS MAY GENERATE
HYDROGEN GAAS IN EXPLOSIVE AMOUNTS.
Spill Release Procedures:CONFINE SPILL. STOP LEAK AT SOURCE IF THIS CAN
BE DONE SAFELY. VENTILATE AREA. EVACUATE NONESSENTIAL PERSONNEL.
PUMP LIQUID INTO DOT-APPROVED DRUMS FOR DISPOSAL. ABSORB REMAINING
LIQUID ONTO INERT ABS ORBENT/PLACE IN DOT-APPROVED DRUMS FOR
DISPOSAL.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN DRY PROTECTED AREA. HAZARDOUS
CO2 GAS CAN FORM UPON CONTACT W/FOOD & BEVERAGE PRODUCTS. THIS CAN
COLLECT IN ENCLOSED SPACES/FATAL.
Other Precautions:THEY SHOULD BE KEPT UNDER OBSERVATION WHILE IN THE
AREAS BY ANOTHER MAN AT A SAFE DISTANCE. RELIEVE ANY PRESSURE.
COVER OPENING TO AVOID SPLASHING CLEAN EXTERIOR/INTERIOR BY

Respiratory Protection:FOR MIST CONDITIONS, A NIOSH-APPROVED RESPIRATOR
FOR MISTS IS ADVISED. IF RESPIRATOR ARE USED, A FORMAL TRAINING &
SCREENING PROGRAM MUST BE INITIATED.
Ventilation:PROVIDE SUFFICIENT MECHANICAL VENTILATION TO KEEP
Protective Gloves:ALKALI RESISTANT NEOPRENE
