3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: Danger: May be fatal if swallowed. This material is an eye irritant. May cause allergic skin reaction. Vapors are mildly to
markedly irritating to the lungs depending on the exposure level. Ingestion may cause abdominal discomfort, nausea, and
vomiting. May produce central nervous system depression and kidney damage.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: In case of contact, or suspected contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and get
medical attention immediately after flushing.
Ingestion: Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give fluids or induce vomiting if the victim is
unconscious or having convulsions.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is difficult
give oxygen. Get medical attention. Vapors or mists from this material can irritate the nose, throat and lungs, and cause
signs and sysmptoms of central nervous system depression, depending on the concentration and duratin of exposure.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation
persists.

Protection Of Fire-Fighters:
Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Wear approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Do not
realse runoff from fire control methods to sewers or waterways. Fight from a maximum distance or
use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Containers can build up pressure if exposed to heat;
cool with flooding quantities of water until well after the fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of
rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of vessel.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon Dioxide. Carbon Monoxide. Unidentified organic compounds.
Aerosol Comments: Not Applicable
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions: Wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment to prevent skin and eye contact.
Spill Procedures: Avoid all sources of ignition; heat, sparks and open flames. Contain any liquid from leaking containers. Wear
protective equipment specified. Ventilate spill area. Soak up material with absorbent and place in chemical waste
container.
If clean-up is not immediate, cover spill with plastic or canvas to keep dry.
Environmental Precautions: Do not allow to enter sanitary drains, sewer or surface and subsurface waters.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling and Do Not Swallow. Store in a cool, dry place. Use only in a well ventilated area. Keep container closed when not in use to prevent
Storage: contact with acidic, basic or oxidizing materials.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: Exhaust ventilation. Eyewash stations. Showers.
Eyes: Chemical goggles; also wear a face shield if splashing hazard exists.
Skin Protection: Avoid skin contact. Wear protective clothing and gloves. Rubber, Neoprene or Vinyl.
Respiratory Protection: An approved respirator (i.e. NIOSH, etc.) should be worn when exposures are expected to exceed the
applicable limits.
