MSDS No.: NAR10013A
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:
Skin, respiratory, eye, thyroid diseases
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen (To be
administered by qualified medical personnel only!) Get medical attention.
Ingestion: DO NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cups of milk or water. (Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person!) Get medical attention immediately.
Skin: Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing. Seek medical attention.
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Do not allow victim to
rub or keep eyes closed. Get medical aid immediately.
Other Health Warnings:
V. Fire Fighting Measures:
Flash Point: ~103 F Lower Explosive Limit: NE Upper Explosive Limit: NE
F.P. Method:
Fire Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray, alcohol-resistant foam
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Water may be used to cool fire-exposed containers.
Unusual Fire and Explosion:
May react with metals to form combustible hydrogen gas.
"Empty" containers may contain product residue and may be dangerous. Empty containers should be completely drained and
bunged and then disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
VI. Accidental Release Measures:
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:
Wear vapor respirator, safety goggles, and rubber gloves. Remove sources of ignition (i.e. open flames, sparks). Use water spray
to dilute to a non-flammable mixture. Soak up with inert absorbent material (dry soda ash or calcium carbonate recommended; do
not use flammable substances such as sawdust). Ventilate and wash spill site with soap and water after collection. Dispose
according to local, state, and federal regulations.
VII. Handling and Storage:
Precautions to be Taken:
Keep in closed container. Protect from freezing. Keep cool and dry. Avoid ignition sources (heat, open flame, spark). Avoid
incompatible materials. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Avoid inhalation and
ingestion. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Other Precautions:
"Empty" containers may contain product residue and may be dangerous. Empty containers should be completely drained and
bunged and then disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
