SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: May cause coughing, difficult breathing and nausea. Call a poison center or doctor if you feel unwell.
Effects of exposure (inhalation) to substance may be delayed. Inhalation of vapors or contact with
substance will result in contamination and potential harmful effects. Move victim to fresh air. Give artificial
respiration if victim is not breathing. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Keep victim warm and quiet.
Treat symptomatically and supportively. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s)
involved and take precautions to protect themselves.
Skin contact: Call a poison center or doctor if you feel unwell. Effects of exposure (skin contact) to substance may be
delayed. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Remove and isolate contaminated
clothing and shoes. In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin with running water for at
least 20 minutes. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the
material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.
Eye contact: If this chemical contacts the eyes, immediately wash (irrigate) the eyes with large amounts of water,
occasionally lifting the lower and upper eyelids. If eye irritation persists get medical advice/attention. Move
victim to fresh air. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Keep victim warm and quiet. Treat
symptomatically and supportively. Effects of exposure to substance may be delayed. Ensure that medical
personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Effects of exposure (ingestion) to substance may be delayed. Call a physician or
Poison Control Center immediately. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested the substance;
give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper
respiratory medical device. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If a person vomits
place them in the recovery position so that vomit will not reenter the mouth and throat. Rinse mouth. Keep
victim warm and quiet. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Ensure that medical personnel are aware
of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.
Symptoms/effects:
Acute: No data available
Delayed: May cause skin sensitization. May have effects on the respiratory tract.
Immediate medical attention: WARNING: It might be hazardous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth respiration, because
the inhaled material is harmful. CAUTION: Victim may be a source of contamination. If breathing has
stopped, perform artificial respiration. Use first aid treatment according to the nature of the injury. Ensure
that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.
SECTION 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media: Dry chemical, CO2 , water spray, or alcohol-resistant foam. Consult with local fire authorities before
attempting large scale fire fighting operations.
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Hazardous combustion products: These products include: Carbon oxides
Other specific hazards: Closed containers may explode from heat of a fire.
Special precautions for fire-fighters:
Use water spray or fog; do not use straight streams. Dike fire-control water for later disposal; do not scatter the material. Containers may explode when
heated. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:
Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Structural fire fighters' protective clothing provides limited protection in fire situations
ONLY; it may not be effective in spill situations. Wear chemical protective clothing which is specifically recommended by the manufacturer. It may
provide little or no thermal protection.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions: Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Do not touch
damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing (Section 8). Warn
unnecessary personnel to move away. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Isolate the hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary and unprotected personnel.
Personal protective equipment: Splash goggles. Wear protective clothing (chemical resistant suit and chemical resistant boots). Dust
respirator. Be sure to use a MSHA/NIOSH approved respirator or equivalent. Wear protective gloves
(nitrile).
Emergency procedures: Prevent dust cloud. Do not clean-up or dispose except under supervision of a specialist. In case of a spill
and/or a leak, always shut off any sources of ignition, ventilate the area, and excercise caution. Do not
touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Warn
personnel to move away. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:
ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Stop leak if without risk. Ventilate the area. Absorb with an
inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal container. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.
Environmental precautions:
Keep away from living quarters. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Prevent entry into
sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling: Avoid inhalation of vapor or mist. Do not ingest. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid contact with skin.
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels
below recommended exposure limits. Keep container dry. Handle and open container with care. Wear
suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. When using do not eat, drink, or smoke. Keep
away from sources of ignition.
Conditions for safe storage: Store locked up. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep away from
incompatibles. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent
leakage. Avoid prolonged storage periods.
Storage incompatibilities: Store away from oxidizing agents
SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure limits:
OSHA PEL (TWA): 0.1 mg (In)/m3
Appropriate engineering controls:
