First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove victim to fresh air. If breathing is difficult have qualified individual administer oxygen and get immediate medical attention. If breathing stops, give artificial respiration. Get immediate medical attention.
Symptoms: nose, throat or upper respiratory tract irritation and nervous system effects including dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, visual disturbances and unconsciousness.
Immediately flush skin with water for 20 minutes while removing contaminated clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Get medical attention. Launder before reuse.
Symptoms: severe irritation or burns. May cause an allergic skin reaction.
Immediately flush eye with water for at least 20 minutes while lifting the upper and lower lids. Get immediate medical attention.
Symptoms: severe irritation or 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.
Symptoms: Harmful or fatal if swallowed.
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediate medical treatment is required for eye contact and ingestion.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide (CO2), or water spray.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: None known.
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
Dilute with water and mop, or absorb with inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Use D-Formalizer® pads or F.C.G.® Formaldehyde Control Granules to reduce formaldehyde exposure.
Stop leak if it is safe to do so. Absorb with DRY earth or non-combustible material. Ensure airborne concentrations of formaldehyde do not exceed published exposure limits. Additional protective equipment may be required,
Prevent entry in storm sewers and waterways.
Dilute with water and mop, or absorb with inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container.

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Use with adequate local exhaust ventilation to maintain exposure levels below the occupational exposure limits.
Impervious gloves recommended (butyl rubber).
Wear safety goggles. A faceshield should be worn where splashing is possible.
None needed with adequate ventilation. If the occupational exposure limit is exceeded, use an approved respirator with organic vapor/formaldehyde cartridges (In the U.S., refer to 29 CFR1910.1048 for cartridge change schedule requirements) or a supplied air respirator appropriate for the form and concentration of the contaminants should be used. Select in accordance with OSHA 1910.134 or other applicable regulations and good Industrial Hygiene practice.
Impervious clothing as needed to avoid skin contact.
