SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation: Immediately call a poison center or doctor. 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: Immediately call a poison center or doctor. 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: IMMEDIATELY flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Eye contact
with vapors or substance may cause severe injury, burns, or death. 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. 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 oneway
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: Dizziness. Pain. Redness. Drowsiness.
Delayed: May have effects on the respiratory tract. Possibly carcinogenic to humans.
Immediate medical attention: WARNING: It might be hazardous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth respiration, because
the inhaled material is corrosive. CAUTION: Victim may be a source of contamination. For severe burns,
immediate medical attention is required. 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 or water spray. 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 Metallic 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). Wear protective clothing
(chemical resistant suit and chemical resistant boots). 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. 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). 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:
Keep away from living quarters. Do not let product enter drains. 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. Manipulate under an adequate fume hood. Avoid contact with
skin and eyes. Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use. Avoid prolonged or repeated
exposure. Normal measures for preventive fire protection. Avoid contact - obtain special instructions before
use. 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: Store locked up. Keep containers tightly closed 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
