Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. (DO NOT use mouth-to-mouth
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.
SPEEDY ACTION IS CRITICAL!
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: NE Lower Explosive Limit: NE Upper Explosive Limit: NE
F.P. Method:
Fire Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical--DO NOT use water!
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. DO NOT get water inside containers. Cool containers with
flooding amounts of water until well after fire is out.
Unusual Fire and Explosion:
Strong oxidizer. Contact with combustible materials could start a fire. Contact with water may generate heat and spatter material.
Contact with metals may generate flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated or contaminated with water.
VI. Accidental Release Measures:
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:
Wear vapor respirator, safety goggles, and rubber gloves. Soak up with inert absorbent material (sand, dry lime, or soda ash
recommended; do not use flammable substances such as sawdust). DO NOT put water directly on leak, spill area, or inside
container. Dispose according to local, state, and federal regulations.
VII. Handling and Storage:
Precautions to be Taken:
Keep in tightly closed container. Keep cool and dry. Avoid incompatible materials, especially water. Use only in well-ventilated
areas. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Do not ingest or inhale. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Other Precautions:
VIII. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection:
Ventilation Requirements:
Use only in well-ventilated areas.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Safety goggles, gloves, vapor respirator, protective clothing
