General Purpose Viscosity Standards

Using proper respiratory protection, immediately remove the affected victim from exposure. Administer artificial respiration if breathing is stopped. Keep at rest. Call for prompt medical attention.

Flush with large amounts of water; use soap if available. Remove grossly contaminated clothing, including shoes, and launder before reuse.

Flush eyes with large amounts of water until irritation subsides. If irritation persists, get medical attention.

Symptoms: irritation

If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Keep at rest. Get prompt medical attention.

Carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical and water fog.

Avoid spraying water directly into storage containers due to danger of boilover.

This liquid is volatile and gives off invisible vapors. Either the liquid or vapor may settle in low areas or travel some distance along the ground or surface to ignition sources where they may ignite or explode. Combustible Liquid can form combustible mixtures at temperatures at or above the flashpoint.

Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces and to protect personnel. Isolate "fuel" supply from fire. Use foam, dry chemical, or water spray to extinguish fire.

Shut off source taking normal safety precautions. Take measures to minimize the effects on ground water. Recover by pumping (use an explosion proof or hand pump) or contain spilled material with sand or other suitable absorbent and remove mechanically into containers.

No respiratory protection should be needed for small spills.

For large spills, use self-contained breathing apparatus or air-purifying respiratory protection according to established local/ site emergency response procedures.

Prevent material from entering sewers, water sources or low lying areas; advise the relevant authorities if it has, or if it contaminates soil/vegetation.

Recover by pumping (use an explosion proof or hand pump) or contain spilled material with sand or other suitable absorbent and remove mechanically into containers.

Materials: sand or other suitable absorbent

Keep container closed. Handle and open containers with care.

Keep containers closed when not in use. Do not store in open or unlabelled containers. Store in a cool, well ventilated place, away from strong oxidizing agents and combustible materials.

Do not store near heat, sparks, flame or strong oxidants. Use proper bonding and/or grounding procedure.

The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to control process emissions near the source. Laboratory samples should be handled in a lab hood. Provide mechanical ventilation of confined spaces. See respiratory protection recommendations.

chemical resistant gloves

Use proper protection – safety glasses as a minimum. For open systems where contact is likely, wear safety glasses with side shields. Where contact may occur, wear safety glasses with side shields.

Where concentrations in air may exceed the limits given in this Section and engineering, work practice or other means of exposure reduction are not adequate, NIOSH approved respirators may be necessary to prevent overexposure by inhalation.
