respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire,
irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
Extinguishing Media: In case of fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or
alcohol-resistant foam. Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment
section. Sweep up or absorb material, then place into a suitable clean, dry, closed container for
disposal. Provide ventilation.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before
reuse. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion
and inhalation. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash clothing before reuse.
Storage: Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a
cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an
eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations
low.
