First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move to fresh air. Give oxygen. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. Seek medical attention immediately.
Take off all contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. If skin irritation persists, call a physician.
Remove contact lenses. Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.
Do NOT induce vomiting. Do not give liquids. Seek medical attention immediately. If vomiting does occur naturally, keep head below the hips to reduce the risks of aspiration. Monitor for breathing difficulties. Small amounts of material which enter the mouth should be rinsed out until the tase is dissipated.
Symptoms: Dizziness, Discomfort, Headache, Nausea, Disorder, Vomiting, Liver disorders, Kidney disorders, Aspiration may cause pulmonary enema and pneumonitis.
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek medical attention immediately.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Any dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam extinguisher. Water spray, fog, or firefighting foam.
Vapours may be ignited rapidly when exposed to heat, spark, open flame, or other sources of ignition. When mixed with air and exposed to an ignition source, flammable vapours can burn in the open or explode in confined spaces. Being heavier than air, vapours may travel long distances to an ignition source and flash back. Runoff to sewer may cause fire or explosion hazard.
Isolate the hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary and unprotected personnel. Stop spill/release if it can be done safely. Move undamaged containers from immediate hazard area it can be done safely. Water spray may be useful in minimizing or dispersing vapours and to protect personnel. Cool equipment exposed to fire with water if it can be done safely.
Firefighter Protection
For fires beyond the initial stage, emergency responders in the immediate hazard area should wear protective clothing. When the potential chemical hazard is unknown, in enclosed or confined spaces, a self-contained breathing apparatus should be worn. In addition, wear other appropriate protective equipment as conditions warrant.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Remove all possible sources of ignition in the surrounding area and evacuate all personnel. Ventilate contaminated area thoroughly. Do not breathe vapor, mists. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
Absorb or contain liquid with sand, earth, or spill control material. Shovel up and place in a labelled sealable container for subsequent safe disposal. Do not disperse using water.
Prevent from entering drains or water supplies. In case of spillage at sea, use approved dispersants authorized by the regulatory authorities to minimize environmental contamination. Contact the regulatory authorities in the event of spillages.
Absorb or contain liquid with sand, earth, or spill control material. Shovel up and place in a labelled sealable container for subsequent safe disposal. Do not disperse using water.
Materials: sand, earth, or spill control material

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Liquid evaporates and forms vapor (fumes) which can catch fire and burn with explosive force. Invisible vapor spreads easily and can be set on fire by many sources such as pilot lights, welding equipment, and electrical motors and switches. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not taste or swallow. Do not breathe vapour or fumes. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Do not use or store near heat, sparks, flames, or hot surfaces. Use and store only in well-ventilated area. Keep container closed when not in use.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
Do not use or store near heat, sparks, flames, or hot surfaces.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Use adequate ventilation to keep gas and vapour concentrations of this product below flammability limits, particularly in confined spaces.
Gloves constructed of nitrile, neoprene, or PVC are recommended.
Safety glasses, goggles, or a face shield are recommended where there is a possibility of splashing or spraying.
Not normally required. In a confined space, self-contained breathing apparatus may be required.
Wear overall to minimize contamination of personal clothing. It is also recommended to wear safety shoes or boots.
