Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
Move person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing; consult a physician.
🖐️ Skin Contact
Wash off with plenty of water.
👁️ Eye Contact
Flush eyes thoroughly with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses after the initial 1-2 minutes and continue flushing for several additional minutes. If effects occur, consult a physician, preferably an ophthalmologist.
🍽️ Ingestion/Swallowing
Rinse mouth with water. No emergency medical treatment necessary.
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
No specific antidote. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.
Medical Treatment
Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.
Fire Fighting Measures & Emergency Response
Fire suppression methods, extinguishing media, and firefighting safety procedures
✅ Suitable Extinguishing Media
Alcohol-resistant foam, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Water spray
❌ Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
Dry chemical
⚠️ Specific Fire Hazards
Applying foam will release significant amounts of hydrogen gas that can be trapped under the foam blanket. Exposure to combustion products may be a hazard to health. Fire burns more vigorously than would be expected.
🔥 Fire Fighting Instructions
Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. Do not allow extinguishing medium to contact container contents. Remove undamaged containers from fire area if it is safe to do so.
🛡️ Firefighter Protection Equipment
In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Use personal protective equipment.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.
🧤 Hand Protection
Use gloves chemically resistant to this material when prolonged or frequently repeated contact could occur. Examples of preferred glove barrier materials include: Butyl rubber. Neoprene. Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile" or "NBR"). Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate ("EVAL"). Polyvinyl alcohol ("PVA"). Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl"). Viton. Examples of acceptable glove barrier materials include: Natural rubber ("latex"). NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace should also take into account all relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential body reactions to glove materials, as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.
👁️ Eye Protection
Use safety glasses (with side shields).
😷 Respiratory Protection
Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as respiratory irritation or discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk assessment process. For most conditions no respiratory protection should be needed; however, if discomfort is experienced, use an approved air-purifying respirator. The following should be effective types of air-purifying respirators: Organic vapor cartridge.
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Wear clean, body-covering clothing.
