FIRST AID MEASURES
========================================================================
Ingestion:
Call a physician. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. If conscious, give water, milk, or milk of
magnesia.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Prompt action is essential.
Skin Contact:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before re-use.

Eye Contact:
In case of eye contact, immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
========================================================================
PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
========================================================================
Ventilation:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep vapor and mist levels as low as possible.
Respiratory Protection:
None required where adequate ventilation conditions exist. If airborne concentration is high, a
chemical cartridge respirator with ammonia/amine cartridge is recommended. If concentration exceeds
capacity of cartridge respirator, a self-contained breathing apparatus is advised.
Eye/Skin Protection:
Safety goggles and face shield, uniform,protective suit, proper gloves are recommended.
Storage Requirements:
Keep container tightly closed. Store in corrosion-proof area. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away
from sources of heat, flame, or ignition. isolate from incompatible materials.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION DATA
========================================================================
Steps To Be Taken In The Event Of A Spill Or Discharge:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Shut off ignition sources; no flares,
smoking or flames in area. Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Use water spray to reduce vapors.
Take up with sand or other non-combustible absorbent material and place into container for later
disposal. Flush area with water.
