SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE CONTACT:
For eyes, flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes & get medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT:
In case of contact with skin immediately remove contaminated clothing.
Wash thoroughly with soap & water. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
INHALATION:
After high vapor exposure, remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. If breathing has stopped, trained personnel should immediately
begin artificial respiration. If the heart has stopped, trained personnel
should immediately begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
SWALLOWING:
Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
Do NOT give liquids to an unconscious or convulsing person.
CHARCO SECTION 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FIRE & EXPLOSION PREVENTIVE MEASURES
NO open flames, NO sparks, & NO smoking. Above flash point, use
a closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment, lighting.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Use dry powder, AFFF, alcohol-resistant foam, water spray, carbon dioxide.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Water spray may be ineffective on fire but can protect fire-fighters
& cool closed containers. Use fog nozzles if water is used.
Do not enter confined fire-space without full bunker gear.
(Helmet with face shield,bunker coats, gloves & rubber boots).
Use NIOSH approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.
UNUSUAL EXPLOSION AND FIRE PROCEDURES
COMBUSTIBLE!
Keep container tightly closed.
Isolate from oxidizers, heat, & open flame.
Closed containers may explode if exposed to extreme heat.
Applying to hot surfaces requires special precautions.
Empty container very hazardous! Continue all label precautions!
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE MEASURES:
Keep unprotected personnel away. Ventilate spill area. Remove all ignition sources.
Filter respirator for organic vapors.
CONTAINMENT AND CLEAN-UP MEASURES:
Stop spill at source. Dike and contain.
Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Remove to safe place.
Do NOT wash away into sewer.
