First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Immediately get medical attention.
Symptoms: May cause respiratory irritation. Possible inflammation of the respiratory tract.
Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Symptoms: Causes skin irritation.
In case of contact with eyes flush immediately with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding eyelids apart and consult an ophthalmologist. Immediately get medical attention. Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
Symptoms: Causes serious eye damage.
If victim completely conscious/alert give water or milk if the person is fully conscious. Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Obtain emergency medical attention. Call a POISON CENTER/doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
Symptoms: Swallowing a small quantity of this material will result in serious health hazard.
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediately get medical attention.
Medical Treatment
Consult an ophthalmologist.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Flood with plenty of water. Foam. Dry powder. Carbon dioxide. Water spray. Sand.
Organic compounds. As hydrogen peroxide may react with a variety of organic materials and can form explosive mixtures, shock sensitive compounds, and initiate fire. Foam is not effective as oxygen and heat continue to be generated under the foam blanket. Do not use a heavy water stream.
On decomposition releases oxygen which may intensify fire. Containers may swell and burst during a fire due to internal pressure caused by heat.
Exercise caution when fighting any chemical fire. Use water spray or fog for cooling exposed containers. Prevent fire-fighting water from entering environment.
Firefighter Protection
Use self-contained breathing apparatus. Do not enter fire area without proper protective equipment, including respiratory protection.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Stop leak if safe to do so. Evacuate unnecessary personnel. Ventilate area.
Prevent entry to sewers and public waters. Avoid release to the environment.
Soak up spills with inert solids, such as clay or diatomaceous earth as soon as possible. Collect spillage.
Materials: inert solids, such as clay or diatomaceous earth

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Read label before use. Avoid all eye and skin contact and do not breathe vapor and mist. keep away from incompatible materials. Do not wear leather soled shoes. Wash hands and other exposed areas with mild soap and water before eating, drinking or smoking and when leaving work. Provide good ventilation in process area to prevent formation of vapor. Avoid breathing dust, mist or spray. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
Keep only in the original container in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Store in dry, cool, well-ventilated area. Do not freeze. Shade from radiant heat and direct sunlight.
Take care for general good hygiene and housekeeping. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Contaminated clothing should be washed thoroughly in order to eliminate a delayed potential fire hazard. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
Contaminated clothing should be washed thoroughly in order to eliminate a delayed potential fire hazard.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Ensure adequate ventilation. Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in the immediate vicinity of any potential exposure. Local exhaust ventilation is recommended to maintain vapor level below the threshold limit value (TLV).
Wear protective gloves. Use neoprene gloves. Use gloves constructed of chemical resistant materials such as heavy nitrile rubber if frequent or prolonged contact is expected.
Wear protective eyewear. Eye protection, including both chemical splash goggles and face shield, must be worn when possibility exists for eye contact due to spraying liquid or airborne particles. Do not wear contact lenses.
Work in well-ventilated zones or use proper respiratory protection. Wear appropriate mask. Protection factors vary depending upon the type of respirator used.
Wear suitable protective clothing. Rubber apron, boots.
