Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
If irritation is experienced, move to fresh air. Get medical attention if irritation or other symptoms develop and persist.
Symptoms:
Drowsiness, dizziness and other nervous system effects.
🖐️ Skin Contact
Wash with soap and water. If irritation develops and persists, get medical attention.
Symptoms:
Irritation.
👁️ Eye Contact
Flush thoroughly with water. Remove contact lenses if present after the first 5 minutes and continue flushing for several more minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Symptoms:
Irritation.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
DO NOT induce vomiting.
Symptoms:
Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Aspiration of liquid into the lungs during swallowing or vomiting may cause lung damage.
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
Immediate medical attention is needed for ingestion.
Fire Fighting Measures & Emergency Response
Fire suppression methods, extinguishing media, and firefighting safety procedures
✅ Suitable Extinguishing Media
Use water fog, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or foam.
❌ Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
Do not use water jet or flooding amounts of water.
⚠️ Specific Fire Hazards
Extremely flammable aerosol. Contents under pressure. Keep away from ignition sources and open flames. Exposure of containers to extreme heat and flames can cause them to rupture often with violent force. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along surfaces to remote ignition sources and flash back. Combustion will produce oxides of carbon and hydrocarbons.
🛡️ Firefighter Protection Equipment
Firefighters should always wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Cool fire-exposed containers with water. Use shielding to protect against bursting containers.
Accidental Release Measures & Spill Response
Emergency spill cleanup procedures, containment methods, and environmental protection
🚨 Emergency Procedures
Wear appropriate protective clothing (see Section 8). Eliminate all sources of ignition and ventilate area.
🧹 Cleanup Methods
Clean spill area thoroughly.

Safe Handling & Storage Procedures
Industrial handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace safety requirements
⚠️ Handling Precautions
• Avoid contact with eyes.
• Avoid prolonged contact with skin.
• Avoid breathing vapors or aerosols.
• Use only with adequate ventilation.
• Keep away from heat, sparks, pilot lights, hot surfaces and open flames.
• Unplug electrical tools, motors and appliances before spraying or bringing the can near any source of electricity.
• Electricity can burn a hole in the can and cause contents to burst into flames.
• To avoid serious burn injury, do not let the can touch battery terminals, electrical connections on motors or appliances or any other source of electricity.
• Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
• Keep containers closed when not in use.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
• Do not puncture, crush or incinerate containers, even when empty.
🏪 Storage Conditions
• Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials.
• Do not store above 120ºF or in direct sunlight.
• U.
• F.
• C (NFPA 30B) Level 3 Aerosol.
• Store away from oxidizers.
Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
Use in a well-ventilated area. For bulk processing or workplace use, use adequate general and local exhaust ventilation to maintain exposure levels below occupational exposure limits.
🧤 Hand Protection
Chemical resistant gloves recommended for operations where skin contact is likely. Wear chemical resistant gloves for bulk processing or workplace use.
👁️ Eye Protection
Avoid eye contact. Always spray away from your face for normal consumer use. Safety goggles recommended where eye contact is possible for bulk processing or workplace use.
😷 Respiratory Protection
None needed for normal use with adequate ventilation. For bulk processing or workplace use, none required if ventilation is adequate. If occupational exposure limits are exceeded, wear a NIOSH approved respirator. Respirator selection and use should be based on contaminant type, form and concentration. Follow OSHA 1910.134, ANSI Z88.2 and good Industrial Hygiene practice.
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Avoid prolonged skin contact. Chemical resistant gloves recommended.
