4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Skin
Immediately take off all contaminated clothing. For skin contact, flush with large amounts of water. If any adverse effects persist, get medical
attention. The signs and symptoms that may result from an emergency or an unexpected acute overexposure include: rash to irritation to burns
Eyes
For eye contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Seek medical advice. The signs and symptoms that may result from an
emergency or an unexpected acute overexposure include: irritation to burns
Inhalation
Move person to non-contaminated air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Seek medical attention. The signs and symptoms that may result from an emergency or an unexpected acute overexposure
include: irritation to burns; respiratory depression
Ingestion
If the material is swallowed, get immediate medical attention or advice. Never give anything by mouth to a victim who is unconscious or is
having convulsions. If patient has a good gag reflex, you can consider giving several ounces of water for dilution. The signs and
symptoms that may result from an emergency or an unexpected acute overexposure include: nausea; vomiting; diarrhea; abdominal pain;
gastrointestinal tract irritation to burns
Cardiovascular
The signs and symptoms that may result from an emergency or an unexpected acute overexposure include: arrhythmia
Central Nervous System
Monitor for shock; anticipate seizures and treat accordingly. The signs and symptoms that may result from an emergency or an
unexpected acute overexposure include: headache; CNS depression; coma

Sensitivity to Static Discharge
Material can accumulate static charges from material handling management. Bond and ground as appropriate. For additional recommendations,
consult an applicable guideline such as National Fire Protection Association [NFPA] 77, "Recommended Practices on Static Electricity". NOTE:
The Lower Explosive Limit [LEL] for organic liquids can range from as low as 0.5 - 1%.
Extinguishing Media
Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water fog. Do not direct a solid stream of water or foam into hot, burning pools; this may result in frothing and
increase fire intensity.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.

Protection of Firefighters/Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
Exclude air; treat like a gasoline or oil fire. Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained positive pressure or pressure demand
breathing apparatus, protective clothing and face mask.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE, SPILL, LEAK PROCEDURES
Personal Precautions
Follow facility/company's emergency plans.
Environmental Precautions
Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Eliminate sources of ignition. Ventilate the contaminated area. Contain the spill and
prevent the material from obtaining access to any confined spaces, public sewers, or waterways.
Methods for Clean-Up
Ventilate the contaminated area. Eliminate ignition sources including sources of electrical, static or frictional sparks. Collect the material
using absorbents, non-sparking tools, explosion-proof vacuums or other equipment required by the size of the release. Decontaminate
the area, collecting any cleaning and rinsing media for proper reclamation or disposal.
Other Information
Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Determine appropriate course of action for the collected material.
Regulations vary. Consult local authorities before disposal.
Exposure Guidelines
All PPE use is to be determined by a qualified person. Protect from eye and skin contact.
7. HANDLING & STORAGE
Handling Procedures
Organics can obtain an electrostatic charge during processing activities including: mixing, filtering, or pumping which may represent a spark hazard
and, therefore, a fire hazard. Also, a sudden release of such materials from process equipment at elevated temperatures, and/or pressures, can
result in ignitions from static absent any apparent ignition source. Flashpoint and autoignition values obtained from standard test conditions may
not be applicable to other situations and, thus, the safe use of this material in any process should be reviewed by one familiar with both the
processing conditions and this material. As with all chemicals, good industrial hygiene practices should be followed when handling this material.
When the container(s) is empty it may retain product residue including vapors which could accumulate. Therefore, do not cut, drill, grind, or weld
empty containers. Additionally, do not conduct such activity(ies) near full, partially full, or empty product containers without appropriate workplace
safety authorization(s) or permit(s).
Storage Procedures
Protect container from physical abuse. Keep the container tightly closed. Keep this material in a cool, well-ventilated place. Eliminate all
sources of ignition. Keep separate from incompatibles. Bond and ground containers when transferring material. Do not handle or store
near an open flame, heat or other sources of ignition. Do not cut, weld, solder, drill, grind, or expose containers to heat, flame, sparks, or
other sources of ignition. Empty product containers may contain product residue. Do not reuse empty containers.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

All PPE use is to be determined by a qualified person. Protect from eye and skin contact.

Engineering Controls
Ventilation should be sufficient to effectively remove, and prevent buildup of, any vapors, dusts, or fumes that may be generated during
handling or thermal processing. In order to ensure appropriate electrical safety practices are followed, consult applicable standards.
These may include guidelines such as the National Fire Protection Association [NFPA] 70, "The National Electrical Code" and NFPA 499,
"Recommended Practice for the Classification of Combustible Dusts and of Hazardous (Classified) Locations for Electrical Installations in
Chemical Process Areas ". NOTE: since this material's vapors, dust or fumes can form explosive mixtures in air, ensure that any
potential areas where explosions may occur are designed to minimize potential damage. For recommendations to prevent such
explosions and associated damage, consult applicable guidelines such as NFPA 69, "Standard on Explosion Prevention Systems" and/or
NFPA 68, "Guide for Venting Deflagrations".
Personal Protective Equipment
Eye Protection
Wear safety glasses with side shields; chemical goggles (if splashing is possible). Wear a face shield if a splash hazard exists. Select & use eye
protection per a competent health & safety professional using: OSHA [29 CFR 1910.133] or Europe's [EN166].
Skin Protection
Use appropriate hand protection. Wear impervious gloves for prolonged contact.
Respiratory Protection
Maintain material's vapors, fumes, or particulate levels below any levels of concern including, for solids, considering the material as a
particulate not otherwise classified [nuisance dust] @ 10 mg/m3. Select & use respirators per a competent health & safety professional
using: OSHA (29 CFR 1910.134); ANSI (Z88.2-1992); or Europe's [EN 149].

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Overview
While OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200 emphasizes the use of industrial -- human -- data for workplace hazard evaluations, relatively few materials have
such data available as toxicological information is primarily obtained from tests conducted on, or with, animals used as surrogates for humans.
Therefore, the effects and symptoms represented, and/or summarized, may not reflect actual workplace exposures. All materials used in a given
work area should be evaluated by a competent person who can then advise involved workers of health effects, or symptoms, if any, they may
experience from their assigned tasks.
