Move to fresh air. If breathing stops, provide artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.

Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention immediately. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes.

Any material that contacts the eye should be washed out immediately with water. If easy to do, remove contact lenses. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.

Seek medical advice.

Water spray. Dry chemical. Carbon Dioxide. Foam.

None known.

Forms peroxides of unknown stability.

Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Water may be ineffective in fighting the fire.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.

Flush spill area with water spray. Prevent runoff from entering drains, sewers, or streams. Dike for later disposal.

Avoid release to the environment.

Absorb spill with vermiculite or other inert material, then place in a container for chemical waste.

Materials: vermiculite or other inert material

Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Avoid breathing mists or vapors. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not taste or swallow. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Minimize exposure to air. After opening, purge container with nitrogen before reclosing. Periodically test for peroxide formation on long-term storage. Do not allow to evaporate to near dryness. Do not distill to near dryness. Addition of water or appropriate reducing materials will lessen peroxide formation.

Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Keep container tightly closed and in a well-ventilated place. Store away from heat and light.

Wash thoroughly after handling.

Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame.

Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.

Wear chemical-resistant gloves, footwear, and protective clothing appropriate for the risk of exposure. Contact health and safety professional or manufacturer for specific information.

Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).

If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not been established), an approved respirator must be worn. In the United States of America, if respirators are used, a program should be instituted to assure compliance with OSHA Standard 63 FR 1152, January 8, 1998. Respirator type: Air-purifying respirator with an appropriate, government approved (where applicable), air-purifying filter, cartridge or canister. Contact health and safety professional or manufacturer for specific information.

Wear chemical-resistant gloves, footwear, and protective clothing appropriate for the risk of exposure. Contact health and safety professional or manufacturer for specific information.
