======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION
IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED. EYES: FLUSH W/PLENTY OF WATER. SKIN: WASH
W/SOAP & WATER & APPLY MEDICATED SKIN CREAM. INGESTION: DON'T
INDUCE VO MITING. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IN ALLCASES.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:CO2, POWDER OR FOAM
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE HIGH SPRAY OF WATER TO KEEP AEROSOLS COOL.
WEAR SELF-CONTAINED POSITIVE PRESSURE BREATHING APPARATUS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:EXCESSIVE HEAT CAUSED BY FIRE WILL CAUSE
AEROSOLS TO BURST.
Spill Release Procedures:EVACUATE & VENTILATE AREA. CONTAIN THE SPILL.
REMOVE LEAKING CONTAINER & TRANSFER PRODUCT TO ANOTHER VESSEL.
CLEAN UP BY MOPPING OR SOAK UP W/ABSORBENT MATERIAL. DON'T FLUSH TO
SEWER.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE AEROSOL <120F & >32F. STORE ALL
MATERIALS IN DRY, WELL-VENTILATED AREA. AVOID INHALATION OF VAPORS.
Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED IF GOOD VENTILATION EXISTS. FOR
ENCLOSED AREA USE NIOSH APPROVED ORGANIC VAPOR CARTRIDGE.
Ventilation:MECHANICAL: RECOMMENDED IN ENCLOSED AREAS.
Protective Gloves:SOLVENT RESISTANT FOR LIQUID HANDLING
Eye Protection:FACE SHIELD/GOGGLES FOR SPRAY/SPLASHING
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER USE. REMOVE/LAUNDER
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE.
