First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove from further exposure. For those providing assistance, avoid exposure to yourself or others. Use adequate respiratory protection. If breathing has stopped, assist ventilation with a mechanical device or use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Symptoms: respiratory irritation, dizziness, nausea, or unconsciousness
Wash contact areas with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.
Flush thoroughly with water. If irritation occurs, get medical assistance.
Do not induce vomiting.
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek immediate medical assistance if respiratory irritation, dizziness, nausea, or unconsciousness occurs. Seek immediate medical attention if ingested.
Medical Treatment
Treat appropriately.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish flames.
Straight Streams of Water
Combustible.
Evacuate area. Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces and to protect personnel.
Firefighter Protection
Firefighters should use standard protective equipment and in enclosed spaces, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Eliminate all ignition sources. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas.
Normal antistatic work clothes are usually adequate.
Water spray may reduce vapor; but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces. Recover by pumping or with suitable absorbent.
