First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove victim from the exposure. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. Supply fresh air. Prevent aspiration of vomit, turn victim’s head to side. Seek medical advice.
Remove all contaminated clothing and wash before use. Flush affected area with water for at least 15 minutes. Wash contaminated skin with water and soap and rinse thoroughly. Do not use ointments or greases. Destroy contaminated leather apparel. Seek medical advice.
Immediately rinse opened eye for at least 15 minutes under running water. Immediately remove contact lenses if present and easy to do so. Continue rinsing. Seek immediate medical advice.
If the victim is conscious, administer 3-4 glasses of milk or water. Do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical advice.
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek immediate medical advice.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
water spray, alcohol resistant foam for large scale fires, for small fires, dry chemicals or fire-extinguishing powder, and carbon dioxide (CO2).
Highly flammable liquid or vapor. May generate toxic or irritating combustion products. Contact of liquid with skin should be prevented. Sudden reaction and fire may result if mixed with an oxidizing agent.
Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Keep people away. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped. Fight fire remotely. Use water to cool fire exposed container and fire affected zone until fire is out and danger of re-ignition has passed. Move container from fire area if possible without hazard. Burning liquids may be moved by flushing with water to protect personnel and minimize property damage. Fight fire from protected location or safe distance.
Firefighter Protection
Wear protective gloves, eye and face protection. As with any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure demand (MHSA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. If protective equipment is not available or not used, fight fire from a protected location or safe distance.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Do not breathe fumes or vapors if inhalable fumes or vapors may occur during use.
Use absorbent paper to pick up the spilled substance/mixture.
Do not allow substance/mixture to reach sewage system or any water course. Do not allow substance/mixture to penetrate the ground/soil. Inform respective authorities in case of any seepage into the environment.
Use absorbent paper to pick up the spilled substance/mixture. Ventilate and wash area after clean-up is complete. Collect in suitable and properly labeled containers.
Materials: absorbent paper

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Caution! Highly flammable liquid or vapor. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flame and other ignition sources. Protect against electrostatic charges during handling. Metal containers involved must be grounded and bonded. Use only non-sparking tools and equipment, especially when opening or closing containers of combustible contents. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Wash hands and skin thoroughly after handling. Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Wear proper protective equipment (PPE) when handling materials.
Store in accordance with local, regional, national, and international regulations. Caution! Highly flammable liquid or vapor; keep away from heat, sparks, open flame and other ignition sources during storage. Store away from food and beverages. Store away from incompatible materials.
