FIRST AID MEASURES
_________________________________________________________________
EYE CONTACT:
Check for and remove any contact lenses. IMMEDIATELY flush
eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping
eyelids open. COLD water may be used. DO NOT use an eye
ointment. Seek medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT:
If the chemical got onto the clothed portion of the body,
remove the contaminated clothes as quickly as possible,
protecting your own hands and body. Place the victim under
a deluge shower. If the chemical touches the victim's
exposed skin, such as the hands: Gently and thoroughly wash
the contaminated skin with running water and non-abrasive
soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices,
creases and groin. COLD water may be used. Cover the
irritated skin with an emollient. If irritation persists,
seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before
reusing.
SERIOUS SKIN CONTACT: No additional information.
INHALATION:
Allow the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek
immediate medical attention.
SERIOUS INHALATION:
Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible.
Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or
waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen.
If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. WARNING: It may be dangerous to the person
providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation when the
inhaled material is toxic, infectious or corrosive. Seek
immediate medical attention.
INGESTION:
Remove dentures if any. Watch for an obstruction in the
victim's mouth. Remove if possible what is causing the
obstruction but do not force fingers or a hard object
between the victim's teeth. Have conscious person drink
several glasses of water or milk. INDUCE VOMITING by
sticking finger in throat. Seek immediate medical
attention.
SERIOUS INGESTION:
Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues
are damaged, a possible indication that the toxic material
was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not
conclusive. Remove dentures if any. Watch for an
obstruction in the victim's mouth. Remove if possible what
is causing the obstruction but do not force fingers or a
hard object between the victim's teeth. If a soft pad can
be inserted between the victim's teeth, it will protect the
tongue from being bitten. A badly bleeding tongue immensely
complicates the patient's problems. Have conscious person
drink several glasses of water or milk. INDUCE VOMITING by
sticking finger in throat. Lower the head so that the vomit
will not reenter the mouth and throat. If convulsions
occur, do not restrain the victim, but do remove objects
with which he (she) might injure himself (herself) or orient
the victim to prevent him (her) from striking fixed heavy
objects. If the convulsions cease, turn the victim on side
or face down so that any fluid in the mouth will drain.
Seek immediate medical attention.

HANDLING AND STORAGE
_________________________________________________________________
PRECAUTIONS:
Keep locked up. Keep away from heat. Keep away from
sources of ignition. Empty containers pose a fire risk,
evaporate the residue under a fume hood. Ground all
equipment containing material. DO NOT ingest. DO NOT
breathe dust. Avoid contact with eyes. Wear suitable
protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation,

Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to keep airborne levels below
recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate
dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to
airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
PERSONAL PROTECTION:
Splash goggles. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use
a MSHA/NIOSH approved respirator or equivalent. Wear
appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate.
PERSONAL PROTECTION IN CASE OF A LARGE SPILL:
Splash goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots.
Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be used
to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective
clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist
BEFORE handling this product.
