First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Using proper respiratory protection, immediately remove the affected victim from exposure. Administer artificial respiration if breathing is stopped. Keep at rest. Seek immediate medical attention.
Flush area with large amounts of water and wash area with soap if available. Remove contaminated clothing, including shoes, and launder before reuse. Seek medical attention for skin irritations.
Symptoms: skin irritations
Flush eyes with large amounts of water until irritation subsides. Seek immediate medical attention.
Symptoms: irritation
If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Keep at rest. Seek immediate medical attention.
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek immediate medical attention.
Medical Treatment
Treat according to symptoms. Avoid gastric lavage: risk of aspiration of product to the lungs with the potential to cause chemical pneumonitis.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Dry chemical or foam
Shut off product that may 'fuel' a fire if safe to do so. Allow trained personnel to attend a fire in progress, providing firefighters with this Material Safety Data Sheet.
Firefighter Protection
Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Prevent fluid from escaping to drains and waterways. Contain leaking packaging in a containment drum. Prevent vapours from building up in confined areas. Ensure that drain valves are closed at all times. Clean up and report spills immediately.
Major Land Spill: Eliminate sources of ignition. Warn occupants of downwind areas of possible fire and explosion hazard. Prevent liquid from entering sewers, watercourses, or low-lying areas. Keep the public away from the area. Shut off the source of the spill if possible and safe to do so. Advise authorities if substance has entered a watercourse or sewer or has contaminated soil or vegetation. Take measures to minimise the effect on the ground water. Contain the spilled liquid with sand or earth. Recover by pumping – use explosion proof pump or hand pump – or with a suitable absorbent material. Consult an expert on disposal of recovered material and ensure conformity to local disposal regulations. See “First Aid Measures” and “Stability and Reactivity”. Major Water Spill: Eliminate any sources of ignition. Warn occupants and shipping in downwind areas of possible fire and explosion hazard. Notify the port or relevant authority and keep the public away from the area. Shut off the source of the spill if possible and safe to do so. Confine the spill if possible. Remove the product from the surface by skimming or with suitable absorbent material. Consult an expert on disposal of recovered material and ensure conformity to local disposal regulations. See “First Aid Measures” and “Stability and Reactivity”.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
This product is flammable. Do not open near open flame, sources of heat or ignition. No smoking. Keep container closed. Handle containers with care. Open slowly to control possible pressure release. Material will accumulate static charge. Use grounding leads to avoid discharge (electrical spark).
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not pressurise, cut, heat or weld containers - residual vapours are flammable. This product is flammable and will fuel a fire in progress.

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to control process emissions near the source. Laboratory samples should be handled in a fume hood. Provide mechanical ventilation of confined spaces. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.
It is recommended that chemical resistant gloves (e.g. PVC) be worn when handling this product.
Always use safety glasses or a face shield when handling this product.
Where concentrations in air may exceed the limits described in the National Exposure Standards, it is recommended to use a half-face filter mask to protect from overexposure by inhalation. A type “A” filter material is considered suitable for this product.
Always wear long sleeves and long trousers or coveralls, and enclosed footwear or safety boots when handling this product.
