IV. First Aid Measures:
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with clean water for 15 minutes while lifting eyelids. 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/E
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. Use shield to protect from rupturing and venting containers.
Products of Combustion:
May liberate corrosive hydrochloric acid or toxic phosgene fumes.
Protection of Firefighters:
Not Available
VI. Accidental Release Measures:
Personal Precautions:
Not Available
Environmental Precautions:
Not Available
Methods for Containment:
Not Available
Methods for Cleanup:
Not Available
Other Information:
Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been completed. Dike or contain spill and absorb
with inert materials (sand, sawdust, absorbent sweeping compounds, rags, etc). Shovel up and place contaminated material into an approved
chemical waste container. Where possible, vacuum spilled liquid using an explosion proof vacuum to recover material. 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.
VII. Handling and Storage:
Handling Precautions:
Use with adequate ventilation and proper protective equipment.
Do not use or store near fire, sparks, or open flame. Do not puncture or incinerate container. Exposure to temperatures above 120掳 may cause
container to vent, rupture, or burst.
Storage Precautions:
Vapors are heavier that air and will collect in low areas. This material or its vapors when in contact with flames, hot glowing surfaces or electric arcs
can decompose to form hydrogen chloride gas and possible traces of phosgene. Avoid contamination with water supplies.
