Section 4 First Aid Measures


INGESTION: Call physician or Poison Control Center immediately. Induce vomiting only if advised by appropriate medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.

INHALATION: MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get
medical attention.

EYE CONTACT: MAY CAUSE EYE IRRITATION. Check for and remove contact lenses. Flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids
occasionally. Get immediate medical attention.

SKIN ABSORPTION: MOLTEN MATERIAL MAY CAUSE THERMAL BURNS. Remove contaminated clothing. Flush thoroughly with mild soap and water. If irritation occurs, get
medical attention.

Section 5 Fire Fighting Measures


Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use any media suitable for extinguishing supporting fire.
Protective Actions for Fire-fighters: In fire conditions, wear a NIOSH/MSHA-approved self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear. Use water spray to keep
fire-exposed containers cool.
Specific Hazards: During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Spilled material can be slippery and cause falls in
walked on.

Section 6 Accidental Release Measures


Personal Precautions: Evacuate personnel to safe area. Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8. Provide adequate ventilation.
Environmental Precautions: Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways.
Containment and Cleanup: Recover for reuse if not contaminated. Sweep or vacuum up and place in a suitable container for proper disposal. Wash spill area with soap and
water.
Section 7 Handling & Storage Page E2 of E2
Precautions for Safe Handling: Read label on container before using. Do not wear contact lenses when working with chemicals. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not inhale dusts. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid ingestion. Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove and wash clothing before
reuse.
Conditions for Safe Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
