4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-
mouth. If breathing is difficultgive oxygen. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical
attention.
Eye Contact: Remove contact lenses. Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, holding
eyelids apart to ensure flushing of the entire surface. Washing within one minute is essential to
achieve maximumeffectiveness. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not inducevomiting. If vomiting should occur spontaneously,keep the airway clear. Get
medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconsciousperson.
Notes To Physician: None

Special Exposure Hazards: Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces.
Special Protective Equipment: Fire fighters should wear fullprotective clothing, including self-contained
breathing equipment.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Procedure for Cleaning/Absorption: Evacuate area of all unnecessary personnel. Remove all sources of ignition.
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Clean up immediately by sweeping or shoveling
material into a properly labeled container for disposal. Transfer into labeled
polyethylene-lined disposal containers using non-sparking equipment. Do not
flush to sewer or surface waters! Do not mix with other products or wastes. Wear
adequate personal protective clothing and equipment. Observe storage
temperature of <1040 F (400 C).

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation as necessary to maintain exposures to within applicable
limits. Please refer to the ACGIH document, "Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of
Recommended Practices", most recent edition, for details.
Respiratory Protection: When exposures exceed the PEL or TLV, use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator
in accordance with OSHA Respiratory Protection Requirements under 29 CFR
1910.134.
Gloves: Butyl rubber.
Skin Protection: Normal work coveralls.
Eye Protection: Chemical goggles or a face shield if splashing hazard exists.
Other Personal Protection Data: Eyewash fountains and safety showers must be easily accessible.
Where special or unusual uses or conditions exist, it is suggested that the expert
assistance of an industrial hygienist or other qualified professional be sought.
