symptoms/effects, acute and
delayed
Direct contact with eyes may cause temporary irritation.
Indication of immediate
medical attention and special
treatment needed
Treat symptomatically.
General information Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to
protect themselves.
SECTION 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Unsuitable extinguishing
media
Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions,
protective equipment and
emergency procedures
Keep unnecessary personnel away. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Following product recovery, flush area with water.
For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Environmental precautions Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling Observe good industrial hygiene practices.
Conditions for safe storage,
including any
incompatibilities
Store in original tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of
the SDS).
SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Occupational exposure limits No exposure limits noted for ingredient(s).
Biological limit values No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).
Appropriate engineering
controls
Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should
be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure
limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Skin protection
Hand protection Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Other Wear suitable protective clothing.
Respiratory protection In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
Thermal hazards Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.
General hygiene
considerations
Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and
before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to
remove contaminants.
