SECTION 3 FIRST AID INFORMATION
Eye Exposure: Flush immediately with copious amounts of tap water or normal saline (minimum of 15 minutes). Take
exposed individual to a health care professional, preferably an ophthalmologist, for further evaluation.
Skin Exposure: Wash exposed area with plenty of water. Repeat washing. Remove contaminated clothing and wash
thoroughly before reuse. If irritation persists consult a health care professional.
Inhalation: If exposure by inhalation is suspected, immediately move exposed individual to fresh air. If individual
experiences nausea, headache, dizziness, has difficulty in breathing or is cyanotic, seek a health care
professional immediately.
Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Rinse with copious amounts of water or milk, first. Irrigate the esophagus
and dilute stomach contents by slowly giving one (1) to two (2) glasses of water or milk. Avoid giving
alcohol or alcohol related products. In cases where the individual is semi-comatose, comatose or convulsing,
DO NOT GIVE FLUIDS BY MOUTH. In case of intentional ingestion of the product seek medical
MOUTH
assistance immediately; take individual to nearest medical facility.

SECTION 12 Spill, Leak, and Disposal Procedures
SPILL AND LEAK RESPONSE GUIDELINES:
BUSAN 77

BUSAN 77
Last revision ... 2/13/2004
Important: Before responding to a spill or leak of this product, review each section of this MSDS. Follow the recommendations given in the Handling
Precautions sections. Check the Fire and Explosion Data section to determine if the use of non-sparking tools is merited. Insure that spilled or leaked
product does not come into contact with materials listed as incompatible. If irritating fumes are present, consider evacuation of enclosed areas.
Emergency Response Assistance: Emergency technical assistance is available at any time from Buckman Laboratories, Inc., by calling (901) 767-2722.
Initially minimize area affected by the spill or leak. Block any potential routes to water systems (e.g., sewers, streams, lakes, etc.). Based on the
product's toxicological and chemical properties, and on the size and location of the spill or leak, assess the impact on contaminated environments (e.g.
water systems, ground, air equipment, etc.). There are no methods available to completely eliminate any toxicity this product may have on aquatic
environments. Minimize adverse effects on these environments. Buckman Laboratories, Inc. can be contacted for technical assistance. Determine if
federal, state, and/or local release notification is required (see Regulatory Classifications section of this MSDS). Recover as much of the pure product
as possible into appropriate containers. Later, determine if this recovered product can be used for its intended purpose. Address clean-up of
contaminated environments. Spill or leak residuals may have to be collected and disposed of. Clay, soil, or commercially available absorbents may be
used to recover any material that can not readily be recovered as pure product. Flushing residual material to an industrial sewer, if present at the site
of a spill or leak incident, may be acceptable if authorized approval is obtained. If product and/or spill/leak residuals are flushed to an industrial
sewer, insure that they do not come into contact with incompatible materials. Contact the person(s) responsible for the operation of your facility's
industrial sewer system prior to intentionally flushing or pumping spills or leaks of this product to the industrial sewer.
DISPOSAL GUIDELINES
Note: Follow federal, state, and local regulations governing the disposal of waste materials.
Neat Product: Contact your Buckman representative or Buckman Laboratories, Inc., at (901) 278-0330.
Contaminated Materials: Determine if waste containing this product can be handled by available industrial effluent system or other on-site waste
management unit. If off-site management is required, contact a company experienced in industrial waste management. This product is not specifically
listed in 40 CFR 261 as a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste. However, spill or leak residuals may meet the criteria
of a characteristic hazardous waste under this Act. Check the characteristics of the material to be disposed of and/or the physical and reactivity data
given in this MSDS for the neat product.
Container Disposal: Empty containers, as defined by appropriate sections of the RCRA, are not RCRA hazardous wastes. However, insure proper
management of any residuals remaining in container.
