4. FIRST AID PROCEDURES
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush with water for 15 minutes or until irritation subsides.
Obtain medical attention if irritation persists.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap and
water. Obtain medical attention if irritation persists. Discard contaminated leather articles such
as shoes and belt.
INHALATION: Vapor inhalation under ambient conditions is normally not a problem. If
overcome by vapor from hot product, immediately remove victim to fresh air. Give artificial
respiration if not breathing. Obtain medical attention if breathing problems persist.
INGESTION: If ingested, DO NOT induce vomiting and DO NOT give liquids. Immediately
obtain medical attention. Should a small amount accidentally enter mouth, rinse with water until

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, water spray (fog), dry chemical, carbon dioxide, and
vaporizing liquid type extinguishing agents.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA TO AVOID: No information available.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: Do not direct a solid stream of water or foam into
hot, burning pools; this may cause frothing and increase fire intensity. Use water to keep fire-
exposed containers cool. 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 monoxide, sulfur oxides, aldehydes, 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.
Do not attempt to clean since residue is difficult to remove. 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: 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. 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. Product is readily
removed from skin by waterless hand cleaners following by washing thoroughly with soap and
water.
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: Normally not needed at ambient temperatures. 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 prolonged or repeated skin contact. Nitrile boots recommended.
EYE PROTECTION: Use splash goggles or face shield when eye contact may occur.
PERSONAL HYGIENE: Remove contaminated clothing and launder or dry clean before reuse.
Discard contaminated leather articles such as shoes and belt.
