Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
Inhalation Exposure
Move the exposed person to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Skin Contact
To remove the material from skin, use soap and water. Discard contaminated clothing and shoes or thoroughly clean before reuse.
Eye Contact
Flush eyes with running water immediately while holding the eyelids open. Remove contact lenses, if worn, after initial flushing, and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes.
Ingestion/Swallowing
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Give the person a glass of water or milk to drink and get immediate medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Immediate Medical Attention Required
Get immediate medical attention for eye contact or ingestion. Get medical attention if any skin symptoms develop or if breathing difficulties continue.
Fire Fighting Measures & Emergency Response
Fire suppression methods, extinguishing media, and firefighting safety procedures
Suitable Extinguishing Media
Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish flames.
Fire Fighting Instructions
For fires involving this material, do not enter any enclosed or confined fire space without proper protective equipment, including self-contained breathing apparatus.

Accidental Release Measures & Spill Response
Emergency spill cleanup procedures, containment methods, and environmental protection
Emergency Procedures
If this material is released into the work area, evacuate the area immediately. Monitor area with combustible gas indicator. Stop the source of the release if you can do it without risk. Clean up spill as soon as possible, observing precautions in Exposure Controls/Personal Protection.
Environmental Precautions
Contain release to prevent further contamination of soil, surface water or groundwater.
Cleanup Methods
Clean up spill as soon as possible, observing precautions in Exposure Controls/Personal Protection. Use appropriate techniques such as applying non-combustible sorbent materials or pumping. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material. Where feasible and appropriate, remove contaminated soil.
Cleanup Materials:
non-combustible sorbent materials

Safe Handling & Storage Procedures
Industrial handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace safety requirements
Handling Precautions
• This material presents a fire hazard.
• Liquid quickly evaporates and forms vapor (fumes) which can catch fire and burn with explosive violence.
• Invisible vapor spreads easily and can be set on fire by many sources such as pilot lights, welding equipment, and electrical motors and switches.
• Fire hazard is greater as liquid temperature rises above 15°F.
• Do not get in eyes.
• Do not taste or swallow.
• Do not breathe vapor or fumes.
Storage Conditions
• DO NOT USE OR STORE near heat, sparks or open flames.
• USE AND STORE ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREA.
• Keep container closed when not in use.

Fire hazard is greater as liquid temperature rises above 15°F. DO NOT USE OR STORE near heat, sparks or open flames.
Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
Engineering Controls
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels below the recommended exposure limits.
Hand Protection
Suggested materials for protective gloves include: Polyurethane, or Silver Shield, or Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA)(Note: PVA deteriorates in water. Avoid contact with water.), or Viton
Eye Protection
Wear eye protection such as safety glasses, chemical goggles, or faceshields if engineering controls or work practices are not adequate to prevent eye contact.
Respiratory Protection
If exposure is anticipated to be greater than applicable exposure limits, wear a NIOSH approved respirator that provides adequate protection from measured concentrations of this material, such as: Supplied-Air Respirator, or Air-Purifying Respirator for Organic Vapors, or Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) for use in environments with unknown concentrations or emergency situations. Use a positive pressure, air-supplying respirator if there is potential for uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or other circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
Skin/Body Protection
Wear impervious protective clothing to prevent skin contact. Selection of protective clothing may include gloves, apron, boots, and complete facial protection depending on operations conducted. Users should determine acceptable performance characteristics of protective clothing. Consider physical requirements and other substances present when selecting protective clothing.
