IV. First Aid Measures:
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with clean water for 15 minutes while lifting eyelids and get prompt medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water thoroughly. If adverse effects persist, get prompt medical attention. Launder contaminated clothing
before reuse.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing becomes difficult get prompt medical attention.
Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! Call Poison Control Center, physician, or hospital emergency room immediately.
Note to Physicians:
N/D
V. Fire Fighting Measures:
Suitable Extinguishing Media:
Water Fog, Foam, Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media:
Do not use forced water stream as this could cause the fire to spread.
Products of Combustion:
Normal products of combustion: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, smoke and Nitrogen, Sulfur Oxides
Protection of Firefighters:
Wear self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus and protective clothes. At elevated temperatures containers may vent, rupture or burst,
even violently
VI. Accidental Release Measures:
Personal Precautions:
Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been completed.
Environmental Precautions:
Prevent run-off to sewers, streams, or other bodies of water. If run-off occurs, notify proper authorities as required that a spill has occurred. Run off
to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.
Methods for Containment:
Dike or contain spill and absorb with inert materials (sand, sawdust, absorbent sweeping compounds, rags, etc).
Methods for Cleanup:
Using a non-metalic scoop, place contaminated material into an approved chemical waste container. Where possible, vacuum spilled liquid using
an explosion proof vacuum to recover material.
Other Information:
All equipment used with handling the concentrate must be grounded. If run-off occurs, notify proper authorities as required that a spill has occurred.
VII. Handling and Storage:
Handling Precautions:
Handling: Use with adequate ventilation and proper protective equipment.
Do not use near fire, sparks, or flame. Store in cool, well ventilated area below 120掳F away from heat sources. Avoid contact with alkalis and
strong oxidizing agents. Keep containers tightly closed.
Storage Precautions:
Do not used in confined area without proper ventilation. Contact lenses may cause further damage in case of splash into eye. KEEP AWAY FROM
CHILDREN AND ANIMALS!
