SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Thoroughly clean shoes
before reuse. If symptoms develop, seek medical attention.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not ingest. If this material is swallowed, call a physician immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting unless
directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability: N/A
Fire Fighting Media and Instructions: In case of fire, use water spray (fog), foam, dry chemical, or CO2
Protective Clothing (fire): Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
Conditions to Avoid: Fire or excessive heat may produce hazardous decomposition products. Exposure to temperatures above 130藲F
may cause this product to become unstable and to auto-oxidize generating sufficient heat to cause combustion
and cause product container to ignite.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Small Spill and Leak Use a tool to scoop up solid or absorbed material and place into appropriate labeled waste
container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of
according to local and regional regulatory requirements.
Large Spill and Leak Use appropriate tools to put the spill material into a labeled waste disposal container. Finish
cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and
regional regulatory requirements. Check TLV in section 8 of MSDS and with local authorities.
Spill Kit information No specific spill kit required for this product.
