| SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES |
|=========================================================================|
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Get immediate medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Immediately wash skin with soap and plenty of water. Remove
contaminated clothing. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash
clothing before reuse.
INHALATION: If symptoms occur, remove to fresh air. Medical personnel may
administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Seek medical attention if
symptoms persist.
INGESTION: Swallowing less than an ounce will not cause significant harm.
For larger amounts, do not induce vomiting, but give one or two glasses of
water to drink and get medical attention.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: Treat symptomatically.
|=========================================================================|
| SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES |
|=========================================================================|
FLASH POINT: 200 F LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: N.A.
(PENSKY-MARTENS C.C.) UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: N.A.
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: No data
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:CO2,DRY CHEMICAL,FOAM,WATER FOG
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Closed containers may rupture or
explode (due to pressure build-up) when exposed to extreme heat.
Irritating and/or toxic gases or fumes may be generated by thermal
decomposition or combustion.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: Use NIOSH-approved self-contained
breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Use water to cool
exposed containers. Water stream directed into fire may cause frothing
with subsequent spread of flame.
|=========================================================================|
| SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES |
|=========================================================================|
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Reclaim clean
material. Wear appropriate protective equipment during cleanup. Absorb
with inert material, such as clay. Sweep or shovel into loosely-covered
waste container and remove to appropriate waste area. Dispose of in
accordance with federal, state, and local regulations.
|=========================================================================|
| SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE |
|=========================================================================|
HANDLING: Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with
adequate ventilation. Follow all MSDS/label precautions even after
container is emptied because it may retain product residues. Avoid contact
with eyes, skin, and clothing. FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY.
STORAGE: Store in a cool dry place. Keep container closed when not in
use. Store full and empty containers away from heat, sparks and open flame.

|=========================================================================|
| SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION |
|=========================================================================|
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Local exhaust as needed to control vapor or dust
levels to below lowest component TLV.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If TLV/PEL is exceeded, if use is performed in a
poorly-ventilated space, or if inhalation effects occur, use NIOSH-approved
vapor cartridge respirator in accordance with applicable health and safety
regulations and manufacturer's recommendations.
SKIN PROTECTION: Butyl rubber gloves. Neoprene gloves. Nitrile gloves.
Supported PVA gloves.
EYE PROTECTION: Chemical splash goggles.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Accessible eye wash and safety shower.
HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Follow good general industrial safety practices during
use. Do not smoke or eat during use. DO NOT reuse empty containers
without commercial clean or recondition.
