POLYCIN* D-265

If exposed to excessive levels remove to fresh air and get medical attention if cough or other symptoms develop.

Symptoms: Single exposure to inhaling vapors or mist is not likely to be hazardous.

Wash thoroughly after skin contact. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.

Symptoms: Not expected to cause dermal irritation.

Immediately flush the eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician. Get medical attention if irritation or other symptoms exist.

If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Get prompt medical attention. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Symptoms: Not likely to be toxic by ingestion. Single dose oral toxicity is low.

Carbon dioxide, Dry chemical, Alcohol foam, Water spray

Material may burn, but does not ignite readily. Avoid high temperature.

Basic Fire Fighting As in any fire

Isolate the hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary and unprotected personnel. Remove all contaminated clothing to prevent further absorption. Decontaminate affected personnel using the first aid procedures in Section 4. Leather shoes that have been saturated must be discarded.

For small spills, use suitable absorbent material and collect for later disposal.

For large spills, the area may require diking to contain the spill. Material can then be collected (eg., suction) for later disposal.

Prevent releases to soils, drains, sewers and waterways.

For small spills, use suitable absorbent material and collect for later disposal. For large spills, material can be collected (eg., suction) for later disposal. After collection of material, flush area with water.

Materials: suitable absorbent material

Wear appropriate protective equipment when performing maintenance on contaminated equipment. Prevent contact with incompatible materials. Avoid spills and keep away from drains. Handle in a manner to prevent generation of aerosols, vapors or dust clouds.

ambient temperature in a dry, well-ventilated location. Keep container closed when not in use.

Wash hands thoroughly before eating or smoking after handling this material. Do not eat, drink or smoke in work areas.

All operations should be conducted in well-ventilated conditions. Local exhaust ventilation should be provided. If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vapor or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits.

Impervious gloves (EN374)

chemical goggles or face shield where necessary

Where overexposures are a concern, use NIOSH-approved dust/mist respirator as necessary. Respirator Caution: Observe OSHA regulations for respirator use (29 CFR 1910.134) or equivalent guidance. Air-purifying respirators must not be used in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.

boots, and clothing (EN14605)

The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary depending upon potential exposure conditions. Select controls based on a risk assessment of local circumstances.
