SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Call emergency medical service. 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. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. 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: IMMEDIATELY flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Contact with
material may irritate or burn eyes. Call emergency medical service. 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: Do not induce vomiting with out medical advice. If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show
the container or label. 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: Redness.
Delayed: No data available
Immediate medical attention: 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. CAUTION: All these products
have a very low flash point: Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient. Do not use straight streams. Runoff to sewer may create fire or
explosion hazard. 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. Use sparkproof
tools and explosion-proof equipment. Remove all sources of ignition. 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: Wear eye protection (splash goggles) and face protection (full length face shield). Lab coat. Vapor
respirator. Be sure to use a MSHA/NIOSH approved respirator or equivalent. Wear protective gloves
(nitrile).
Emergency procedures: Isolate area until gas has dispersed. 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). All equipment used when handling the product must be
grounded. 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:
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: Do NOT breath gas, fumes, vapor, or spray. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from heat and
sources of ignition. Use explosion-proof equipment. Use only non-sparking hand tool when handling this
product. Ground all equipment containing material. Take measures to prevent build up of electrostatic
charge. Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control airborne levels. 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: Keep only in the original container in a cool well-ventilated place. Keep away from sources of ignition.
Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame, or any other ignition source. Keep away from
incompatibles. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent
leakage. Avoid prolonged storage periods. Store under inert gas (e.g. Argon). Moisture sensitive.
Storage incompatibilities: Combustible substances, Store away from oxidizing agents
