rub or keep eyes closed. Get medical aid immediately.
Other Health Warnings:
V. Fire Fighting Measures:
Flash Point: NE Lower Explosive Limit: 1,000 Upper Explosive Limit: 1,000
F.P. Method:
Fire Extinguishing Media: Suitable dry chemical--DO NOT use water!
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
Unusual Fire and Explosion:
Reacts violently with water and organic materials with evolution of heat.
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 (sodium bicarbonate or a 50-50
soda ash-slaked lime mixture recommended; do not use flammable substances such as sawdust). Mix and add water if necessary
to form a slurry. Scoop up slurry. Ventilate spill site after collection. Dispose according to local, state, and federal regulations.
