Obtain medical attention if irritation persists. Discard contaminated leather articles such as shoes and
belt.
INHALATION: Immediately remove victim to fresh air if overexposure occurs. Give artificial
respiration if not breathing. Obtain medical attention if breathing problems persist.

SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: Use water to keep fire-exposed containers cool and protect
firefighters. If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse vapors and provide protection
for personnel attempting to stop the leak. Water spray may be used to flush spills away from exposures.
Minimize breathing gases, vapor, smoke, or decomposition products. Use supplied-air breathing
equipment for enclosed or confined spaces or as otherwise needed. DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and others in the case of incomplete combustion. 鈥淓MPTY鈥?
CONTAINER WARNING: 鈥淓mpty鈥? containers retain residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be
dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such containers to
heat, flame, sparks, or other sources of ignition; they may explode and cause injury or death.
鈥淓mpty鈥? drums should be completely drained, properly bunged and promptly returned to a drum
reconditioner. All other containers should be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in
accordance with governmental regulations. For work on tanks refer to OSHA, ANSI Z 49.1, and other
governmental and industrial references pertaining to cleaning, repairing, welding, or other contemplated
operations.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
LARGE SPILLS: Extinguish all possible sources of ignition. Evacuate the hazard area of unprotected
personnel. Dike and contain with suitable absorbent. Shut off source of leak only if it is safe to do so.
Remove with a grounded pump to a salvage container. Do not allow to enter sewers or open waterways.
Advise authorities if product has entered sewers, waterways, or extensive land areas. SMALL SPILLS:
Extinguish all possible sources of ignition. Take up with absorbent materials such as sand or sawdust and
place in non-leaking containers. Dispose of in accordance with all federal, state, and local regulations.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: For industrial use only. Avoid skin and eye contact. Minimize breathing vapor or mist.
Respiratory protection is required when ventilation is inadequate. Cleanse skin thoroughly after contact,
before breaks and meals, and at the end of a work period. NIOSH/OSHA approved respirators should be
worm when ventilation is inadequate. Note: All five gallon pails and larger metal containers, up to and
including tank trucks, should be grounded when material is transferred. Failure to ground metal
containers can result in ignition even without the presence of ignition sources. STORAGE: Store in a
cool, dry location and in accordance with good industrial practices. Keep containers closed when not in
use. Do not handle or store near heat, sparks, flame, or strong oxidizers.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
VENTILATION: Use local exhaust to capture vapor or mists if necessary. Provide ventilation sufficient
to prevent exceeding OSHA PELs.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Use OSHA/NIOSH approved supplied-air respiratory protection in
confined or enclosed spaces, where mist is present or may be generated, or in event of fire.
SKIN PROTECTION: Use chemical resistant gloves, boots, apron, and other impervious clothing to
prevent skin contact.
EYE PROTECTION: Use splash goggles or face shield when eye contact may occur.
PERSONAL HYGIENE: Do not eat, drink, or smoke in work areas. Remove contaminated clothing and
launder or dry clean before reuse. Discard contaminated leather articles such as shoes and belt.
