SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION
Remove from further exposure. For those providing assistance, avoid exposure to yourself or others. Use adequate
respiratory protection. If respiratory irritation, dizziness, nausea, or unconsciousness occurs, seek immediate medical
assistance. If breathing has stopped, assist ventilation with a mechanical device or use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
SKIN CONTACT
Wash contact areas with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.
EYE CONTACT
Flush thoroughly with water. If irritation occurs, get medical assistance.
INGESTION
Seek immediate medical attention. Do not induce vomiting.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN
If ingested, material may be aspirated into the lungs and cause chemical pneumonitis. Treat appropriately.
SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Appropriate Extinguishing Media: Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish flames.
Inappropriate Extinguishing Media: Straight Streams of Water
FIRE FIGHTING
Fire Fighting Instructions: Evacuate area. Prevent runoff from fire control or dilution from entering streams, sewers,
or drinking water supply. Firefighters should use standard protective equipment and in enclosed spaces, self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA). Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces and to protect personnel.
Unusual Fire Hazards: Combustible. Vapors are flammable and heavier than air. Vapors may travel across the
ground and reach remote ignition sources causing a flashback fire danger.

SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES
In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable regulations. U.S.
regulations require reporting releases of this material to the environment which exceed the reportable quantity or oil
spills which could reach any waterway including intermittent dry creeks. The National Response Center can be reached
at (800)424-8802.
PROTECTIVE MEASURES
Avoid contact with spilled material. Warn or evacuate occupants in surrounding and downwind areas if required due to
toxicity or flammability of the material. See Section 5 for fire fighting information. See Section 3 for Significant Hazards.
See Section 4 for First Aid Advice. See Section 8 for Personal Protective Equipment.
SPILL MANAGEMENT
Land Spill:
Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Stop leak if you can do it without
risk. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material.
Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce
vapors. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-
combustible material and transfer to containers. Large Spills: Water spray may reduce vapor; but may not prevent
ignition in closed spaces. Recover by pumping or with suitable absorbent.
Water Spill:
Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Confine the spill immediately with booms. Warn other shipping. Remove from
the surface by skimming or with suitable absorbents. Report spills as required to appropriate authorities. Seek the
advice of a specialist before using dispersants.
Water spill and land spill recommendations are based on the most likely spill scenario for this material; however,
geographic conditions, wind, temperature, (and in the case of a water spill) wave and current direction and speed may
greatly influence the appropriate action to be taken. For this reason, local experts should be consulted. Note: Local
regulations may prescribe or limit action to be taken.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Large Spills: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later recovery and disposal. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers,
basements or confined areas.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary depending upon potential exposure conditions. Control
measures to consider:
Adequate ventilation should be provided so that exposure limits are not exceeded. Use explosion-proof ventilation
equipment.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
Personal protective equipment selections vary based on potential exposure conditions such as applications, handling
practices, concentration and ventilation. Information on the selection of protective equipment for use with this material,
as provided below, is based upon intended, normal usage.
Respiratory Protection: If engineering controls do not maintain airborne contaminant concentrations at a level which
is adequate to protect worker health, an approved respirator may be appropriate. Respirator selection, use, and
maintenance must be in accordance with regulatory requirements, if applicable. Types of respirators to be considered
for this material include: Half-face filter respirator
For high airborne concentrations, use an approved supplied-air respirator, operated in positive pressure mode. Supplied
air respirators with an escape bottle may be appropriate when oxygen levels are inadequate, gas/vapor warning
properties are poor, or if air purifying filter capacity/rating may be exceeded.
Hand Protection: Any specific glove information provided is based on published literature and glove manufacturer
data. Work conditions can greatly effect glove durability; inspect and replace worn or damaged gloves. The types of
gloves to be considered for this material include:
If prolonged or repeated contact is likely, chemical resistant gloves are recommended. If contact with forearms is likely,
wear gauntlet style gloves.
Eye Protection: If contact is likely, safety glasses with side shields are recommended.
Skin and Body Protection: Any specific clothing information provided is based on published literature or
manufacturer data. The types of clothing to be considered for this material include:
If prolonged or repeated contact is likely, chemical, and oil resistant clothing is recommended.
