======================= First Aid Measures =======================
Eyes: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
MINUTES HOLDING EYELIDS OPEN. CALL AN OPHTHALMOLOGIST IF IRRITATION
PERSISTS. SKIN: IMMEDIATELY WASH WITH PLENTY OF SOAP AND WATER
WHILE RE MOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES. INGESTION: IF
CONSCIOUS AND ALERT, GIVE 2 OR MORE GLASSES OF WATER OR MILK TO
DRINK. GIVE ONE TABLESPOON OF SYRUP OF IPECAC TO INDUCE VOMITING.
NEVER GIVE ANYTH ING BY MOUTH OR INDUCE VOMITING IN AN UNCONSCIOUS
OR CONVULSING PERSON. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. INHALATION: REMOVE TO
FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF
BREATHING IS DIFFICUL T, GIVE OXYGEN. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NONCOMBUSTIBLE
Autoignition Temp:>650.C, 1202.F
Lower Limits:NOT APPLICAB
Upper Limits:NOT APPLICAB
Extinguishing Media:NOT COMBUSTIBLE. USE APPROPRIATE EXTINGUISHING
MEDIA FOR MATERIAL THAT IS SUPPLYING FUEL. USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL
SURROUNDING AREA & TO MAINTAIN FIRE TEMP BELOW DECOMPOSITION TEMP.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR A NIOSH.MSHA APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS & FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. DIKE AREA TO
