Section 4. First Aid Measures
Eye Contact Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Cold water may be used.
Skin Contact No known effect on skin contact, rinse with water for a few minutes.
Serious Skin Contact Not available.
Inhalation Allow the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious Inhalation Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or
waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion Do not induce vomiting. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues are damaged, a possible
indication that the toxic material was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive. Loosen
tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious Ingestion Not available.

Section 7. Handling and Storage
Keep locked up Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty containers pose a fire risk,
Precautions
evaporate the residue under a fume hood. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not ingest. Do not
breathe dust. Wear suitable protective clothing In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory
equipment If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label.
Keep container dry. Keep in a cool place. Ground all equipment containing material. Keep container tightly
Storage
closed. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place. Highly toxic or infectious materials should be stored in a separate
locked safety storage cabinet or room.
Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below
recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to
airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
Personal Protection Safety glasses. Lab coat.
Personal Protection in Case of Splash goggles. Full suit. Boots. Gloves. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a
a Large Spill specialist BEFORE handling this product.
