First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
If symptoms develop, move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Keep person warm and quiet; seek immediate medical attention.
First aid is not normally required. However, it is recommended that exposed areas be cleaned by washing with soap and water.

Medical Treatment
Preexisting disorders of the following organs (or organ systems) may be aggravated by exposure to this material: lung (for example, asthma-like conditions).
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Regular foam, alcohol foam, water fog, carbon dioxide, dry chemical.
Organic dusts can form explosive mixtures in air. No special fire hazards are known to be associated with this product.
Water or foam may cause frothing which can be violent and possibly endanger the life of the firefighter. Water may be used to keep fire-exposed containers cool until fire is out.
Firefighter Protection
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece operated in the positive pressure demand mode with appropriate turn-out gear and chemical resistant personal protective equipment.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Scoop or scrape up. Put in container for recovery or disposal.
Shovel material into containers.
