First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Call emergency medical service. Move victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Keep victim warm and quiet. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.
Call a poison center or doctor if you feel unwell. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin with running water for at least 20 minutes. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.
IMMEDIATELY flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Contact with material may irritate or burn eyes. Call emergency medical service. Move victim to fresh air. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Keep victim warm and quiet. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Effects of exposure to substance may be delayed. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.
Symptoms: Contact with material may irritate or burn eyes.
Do not induce vomiting with out medical advice. If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or label. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If a person vomits place them in the recovery position so that vomit will not reenter the mouth and throat. Rinse mouth. Keep victim warm and quiet. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.
Immediate Medical Attention
If breathing has stopped, perform artificial respiration. Use first aid treatment according to the nature of the injury. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Dry chemical, CO2, water spray, or alcohol-resistant foam. Consult with local fire authorities before attempting large scale fire fighting operations.
Do not use straight streams.
Closed containers may explode from heat of a fire. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.
Use water spray or fog; do not use straight streams. Dike fire-control water for later disposal; do not scatter the material. CAUTION: All these products have a very low flash point: Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk.
Firefighter Protection
Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Structural fire fighters' protective clothing provides limited protection in fire situations ONLY; it may not be effective in spill situations. Wear chemical protective clothing which is specifically recommended by the manufacturer. It may provide little or no thermal protection.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Isolate area until gas has dispersed. In case of a spill and/or a leak, always shut off any sources of ignition, ventilate the area, and exercise caution. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Warn personnel to move away. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed.
Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal container. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.
Materials: inert material

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Do NOT breath gas, fumes, vapor, or spray. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Use explosion-proof equipment. Use only non-sparking hand tool when handling this product. Ground all equipment containing material. Take measures to prevent build up of electrostatic charge. Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control airborne levels. Keep container dry. Handle and open container with care. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. When using do not eat, drink, or smoke. Keep away from sources of ignition.
Keep only in the original container in a cool well-ventilated place. Keep away from sources of ignition. Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame, or any other ignition source. Keep away from incompatibles. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Avoid prolonged storage periods.
When using do not eat, drink, or smoke.
Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Use explosion-proof equipment. Use only non-sparking hand tool when handling this product. Ground all equipment containing material. Take measures to prevent build up of electrostatic charge.
