Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get
medical aid.
Skin: Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists.
Ingestion: If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Wash mouth out with water. Get
medical aid if irritation or symptoms occur.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
Get medical aid if cough or other symptoms appear.
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. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers
cool. Containers may explode when heated.
Extinguishing Media: Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to extinguish surrounding fire.
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or regular foam. Cool containers with flooding
quantities of water until well after fire is out.
Flash Point: Not applicable.
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 1; Flammability: 0; Instability: 0
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable container.
Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately, observing
precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide ventilation.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling: Wash hands before eating. Avoid contact with eyes. Keep container tightly closed. Use with adequate
ventilation.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. No special precautions indicated.
