IV. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, have a trained individual administer oxygen. If not
Inhalation:
breathing, give artificial respiration and have a trained individual administer oxygen. Get medical
attention immediately
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes retracting eyelids often. Tilt the head to prevent
Eyes:
chemical from transferring to the uncontaminated eye. Get immediate medical attention.
Do not induce vomiting and seek medical attention immediately. Drink two glasses of water or milk to
Ingestion:
dilute. Provide medical care provider with this MSDS.

Notes to Doctor:
V. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability Summary: Highly Flammable
Use alcohol resistant foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical extinguishing
Extinguishing Media:
agents. Water may be ineffective but water spray can be used extinguish a fire if
swept across the base of the flames. Water can absorb heat and keep exposed
material from being damaged by fire.
Vapors may be ignited by sparks, flames or other sources of ignition if material
Fire and/or Explosion Hazards:
is above the flash point giving rise to a fire (Class B). Vapors are heavier than
air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back.
Do not enter fire area without proper protection including self-contained
Fire Fighting Methods and Protection:
breathing apparatus and full protective equipment. Fight fire from a safe
distance and a protected location due to the potential of hazardous vapors and
decomposition products. Flammable component(s) of this material may be
lighter than water and burn while floating on the surface.
Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide

VI. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Exposure to the spilled material may be severely irritating or toxic. Follow
Personal Precautions and Equipment:
personal protective equipment recommendations found in Section VIII of this
MSDS. Personal protective equipment needs must be evaluated based on
information provided on this sheet and the special circumstances created by
the spill including; the material spilled, the quantity of the spill, the area in
which the spill occurred, and the expertise of employees in the area
responding to the spill. Never exceed any occupational exposure limits.
Prevent the spread of any spill to minimize harm to human health and the
Methods for Clean-up:
environment if safe to do so. Wear complete and proper personal protective
equipment following the recommendation of Section VIII at a minimum. Dike
with suitable absorbent material like granulated clay. Gather and store in a
sealed container pending a waste disposal evaluation.
VII. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Harmful or irritating material. Avoid contacting and avoid breathing
Handling Technical Measures and Precautions:
the material. Use only in a well ventilated area. Use spark-proof
tools and explosion-proof equipment
Store in a cool dry ventilated location. Isolate from incompatible
Storage Technical Measures and Conditions:
materials and conditions. Keep container(s) closed. Keep away
from sources of ignition
Refrigerate.
