First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
No specific treatment is necessary since this material is not likely to be hazardous by inhalation. If exposed to excessive levels remove to fresh air and get medical attention if cough or other symptoms develop.
Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
Symptoms: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause skin irritation in some individuals.
Rinse eyes immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the eyelids. Get medical attention if irritation or other symptoms exist.
Symptoms: Contact with eyes may cause slight irritation.
Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Immediate Medical Attention
GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Medical Treatment
Treatment should be based on the judgment of the physician in response to the reactions of the patient.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Carbon dioxide, Dry chemical, Alcohol foam
Can burn in fire releasing toxic vapors. Material may burn, but does not ignite readily. Avoid high temperature. Cloth or absorbent materials saturated with product may self-ignite on drying. Thoroughly wet any oil-soaked materials immediately with water and dispose in sealed metal containers.
Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance. Normal firefighting procedures may be used. Using water can cause frothing with increasing fire intensity.
Firefighter Protection
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
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.
use suitable absorbent material and collect for later disposal.
the area may require diking to contain the spill. Material can then be collected (eg., suction) for later disposal. Shut off leak if safe to do so. Clean up spills immediately using Protective Equipment recommended in Section VIII at a minimum. Retain all contaminated water for treatment.
Prevent releases to soils, drains, sewers, and waterways.

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.
Materials saturated with product or containing product residues should be thoroughly wetted with water and disposed in metal containers to prevent self-ignition.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
All operations should be conducted in well-ventilated conditions. Local exhaust ventilation should be provided. All appropriate engineering controls should be used to minimize exposure potential. Use exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below exposure limits.
Use chemical goggles, faceshields
Observe OSHA regulations for respirator use (29 CFR 1910.134). Air-purifying respirators must not be used in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
