First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move person to fresh air; if effects occur, consult a physician.
Wash off with plenty of water.
Flush eyes thoroughly with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses after the initial 1-2 minutes and continue flushing for several additional minutes. If effects occur, consult a physician, preferably an ophthalmologist.
No emergency medical treatment necessary.
Medical Treatment
Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Water spray, Alcohol-resistant foam, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Dry chemical
High volume water jet, Do not use direct water stream.
Flash back possible over considerable distance. Exposure to combustion products may be a hazard to health. Fire burns more vigorously than would be expected. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air.
Use water spray to cool fire exposed containers and fire affected zone until fire is out and danger of reignition has passed. Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Remove undamaged containers from fire area if it is safe to do so.
Firefighter Protection
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary. Use personal protective equipment.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Follow safe handling advice and personal protective equipment recommendations.
For large spills, provide dyking or other appropriate containment to keep material from spreading.
Discharge into the environment must be avoided. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Prevent spreading over a wide area (e.g. by containment or oil barriers). Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water.
Soak up with inert absorbent material. Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet. Clean up remaining materials from spill with suitable absorbant.
Materials: inert absorbent material

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Take care to prevent spills, waste and minimize release to the environment. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.
Chemical protective gloves should not be needed when handling this material. Consistent with general hygienic practice for any material, skin contact should be minimized.
Use safety glasses (with side shields).
Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as respiratory irritation or discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk assessment process. For most conditions no respiratory protection should be needed; however, if discomfort is experienced, use an approved air-purifying respirator. The following should be effective types of air-purifying respirators: Organic vapor cartridge.
No precautions other than clean body-covering clothing should be needed.
