      Section 4 - First Aid Measures 





Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally 

lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately. 

Skin: Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 

minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before 

reuse. 

Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 

cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

      Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures 





General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus 

in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective 

gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by 

thermal decomposition or combustion. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can 

spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. 

Extinguishing Media: Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire. Use water 

spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam. 

Flash Point: Not available. 

Autoignition Temperature: Not available.

      Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures 





General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in 

Section 8. 

Spills/Leaks: Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the 

Protective Equipment section. Sweep up, then place into a suitable container for 

disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation. 

      Section 7 - Handling and Storage 





Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash 

before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and 

clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. 

Storage: Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a tightly closed 

container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible 

substances. 

      Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection 





Engineering Controls: Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations 

low.
