First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove victim to fresh air. Get medical attention if irritation persists. If breathing is difficult have qualified individual administer oxygen and get immediate medical attention. If breathing stops, give artificial respiration and get immediate medical attention.
Symptoms: respiratory irritation
Immediately flush with water while removing contaminated clothing. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Launder clothing before reuse.
Symptoms: severe skin irritation and burns
Immediately flush eye with water for at least 15 minutes while lifting the upper and lower lids. After the first few minutes, remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Get immediate medical attention.
Symptoms: eye damage, severe eye irritation and burns
Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. If the victim is conscious and alert, have them rinse their mouth with water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or drowsy person. Get immediate medical attention.
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediate medical treatment is required for eye contact, and ingestion.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use any media that is suitable for the surrounding fire.
None.
Determine the need to evacuate or isolate the area according to your local emergency plan. Use water spray to keep fire exposed containers cool.
Firefighter Protection
Self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing should be worn in fighting large fires involving chemicals.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Wear appropriate protective equipment. Prevent entry into basements or confined areas. Stop spill at the source if it is safe to do so.
Prevent entry in storm sewers and waterways.
Neutralize spill with soda ash, or acid neutralizer. Absorb with an inert material. Collect into a suitable container for disposal.
Materials: soda ash, or acid neutralizer, inert material

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Prevent eye and skin contact. Avoid breathing vapors. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before re-use. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Protect containers from physical damage. Store in a cool area. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before re-use.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Use with adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to maintain exposure levels below the occupational exposure limits.
Impervious gloves recommended (butyl or nitrile rubber).
Wear chemical goggles. A face shield is recommended if splashing is possible.
None needed with adequate ventilation. If the occupational exposure limit is exceeded, use an acid gas respirator. Selection of respiratory protection depends on the contaminant type, form and concentration. Select in accordance with OSHA 1910.134 or other applicable regulations and good Industrial Hygiene practice.
Impervious clothing as needed to avoid skin contact.
