WARNING! POISON!
HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED, INHALED, OR ABSORBED THROUGH
SKIN. CAUSES IRRITATION!
Protective equipment for laboratory bench should be chosen using professional judgement based on the size and type of reaction to test to be
conducted and the available ventilation, with overriding consideration to minimize clothing. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid
breathing vapor. Keep in tightly closed container. Loosen closure cautiously. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling.
In case of spill, flush spill area with water.

Signs And Symptoms of Exposure
CONTACT AS FUMES OR SOLUTION IS INTENSELY IRRITATING TO EYES, SKIN AND MUCOUS MEMBRANES. INGESTION:
ABDOMINAL PAIN, VOMITING AND DIARRHEA.
Medical Conditions
Generally Aggravated by Exposure N/A
Emergency and First Aid Procedures
CALL A PHYSICIAN! IF SWALLOWED, IF CONSCIOUS, GIVE ONE OR TWO GLASSES OF MILK, FOLLOWED BY A STARCH, FLOUR OR
EGG WHITE AS A WATER SOLUTION. IF INHALED, REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF
BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. IN CASE OF CONTACT, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT
LEAST 15 MINUTES. FLUSH SKIN WITH WATER.
Section VII - Precautions For Safe Handling And Use
Steps to Be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled
