First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes.
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove contact lenses. Get medical attention if irritation persists after washing.
Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach content doesn't get into the lungs.
Immediate Medical Attention
Call a physician or poison control center immediately.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Water spray, foam, dry powder or carbon dioxide.
Avoid water in straight hose stream; will scatter and spread fire.
Vapors may cause a flash fire or ignite explosively. Vapors may travel considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. Prevent buildup of vapors or gases to explosive concentrations. Heat may cause the containers to explode.
Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Water may be ineffective in fighting the fire. Fight fire from a protected location. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk.
Firefighter Protection
Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame retardant coat, helmet with face shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in enclosed spaces, SCBA.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Keep unauthorized personnel away. Keep upwind.
Dike far ahead of larger spill for later recovery and disposal.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Absorb spill with vermiculite or other inert material, then place in a container for chemical waste.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Use personal protective equipment as required. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Obtain special instructions before use.
Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place.
Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
DO NOT handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.
Material: Chemical resistant gloves
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) and a face shield.
In case of inadequate ventilation use suitable respirator. Chemical respirator with organic vapor cartridge.
Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves.
