IV. FIRST AID
Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, have a trained individual administer
Inhalation:
oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration and have a trained individual
administer oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.
{ Flush immediately under running water for 15 minutes. If redness or irritation
Eyes:
occurs, seek medical attention.Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least
20 minutes retracting eyelids often. Tilt the head to prevent chemical from
transferring to the uncontaminated eye. Get immediate medical attention and monitor
the eye daily as advised by your physician.
Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing, launder immediately, and
Skin Contact:
discard contaminated leather goods. Get medical attention immediately.
Induce vomiting as a last measure. Induced vomiting may lead to aspiration of the
Ingestion:
material into the lungs potentially causing chemical pneumonitis that may be fatal.{
First aid is normally not required.Do not induce vomiting and seek medical attention
immediately. Drink two glasses of water or milk to dilute. Provide medical care
provider with this MSDS.

Fire Hazards:
dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose
container to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition. Any of
these actions can potentially cause an explosion that may lead to injury or death.
Container may explode in heat of fire.Vapors may be ignited by heat, sparks, flames
or other sources of ignition at or above the low flash point giving rise to a fire (Class
B). Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back.
Carbon dioxide Dry chemical Water spray Flammable component(s) of this material
Extinguishing Media:
may be lighter than water and burn while floating on the surface. Use alcohol foam,
carbon dioxide, or water spray when fighting fires involving this material.Use alcohol
resistant foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical extinguishing agents. Water may be
ineffective but water spray can be used extinguish a fire if swept across the base of the
flames. Water can absorb heat and keep exposed material from being damaged by fire.

VI. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Exposure to the spilled material may be irritating or harmful. Follow personal
Health Consideration for Spill
Response: protective equipment recommendations found in Section VIII of this MSDS.
Additional precautions may be necessary based on special circumstances created by
the spill including; the material spilled, the quantity of the spill, the area in which the
spill occurred. Also consider the expertise of employees in the area responding to the
spill.
Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches that lead to waterways.Prevent the spread
Spill Mitigation Procedures
General Methods: of any spill to minimize harm to human health and the environment if safe to do so.
Wear complete and proper personal protective equipment following the
recommendation of Section VIII at a minimum. Dike with suitable absorbent material
like granulated clay. Gather and store in a sealed container pending a waste disposal
evaluation.
VII. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Wash thoroughly after
Handling:
handling. Avoid contact with material. "Empty" containers retain product residue
(liquid and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. Remove contaminated clothing and wash
before reuse. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Keep in air-
tight containers- material is hygroscopic.
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool place in original container and
Storage:
protect from sunlight. Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Do not store in direct
sunlight.
VIII. ENGINEERING CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Explosion proof exhaust ventilation should be used.
Engineering Controls:
Protective Equipment
Respirators should be selected by and used under the direction of a trained health and
Respiratory Tract:
safety professional following requirements found in OSHA's respirator standard (29
CFR 1910.134) and ANSI's standard for respiratory protection (Z88.2-1992). A
written respiratory protection program, including provisions for medical certification,
training, fit testing, exposure assessments, maintenance, inspection, cleaning, and
convenient, sanitary storage should be implemented.
Wear chemically resistant safety glasses with side shields when handling this product.
Eyes:
Wear additional eye protection such as chemical splash goggles and/or face shield
when the possibility exists for eye contact with splashing or spraying liquid, or
airborne material. Do not wear contact lenses. Have an eye wash station available.
Avoid skin contact by wearing chemically resistant gloves, an apron and other
Skin:
protective equipment depending upon conditions of use. Inspect gloves for chemical
break-through and replace at regular intervals. Clean protective equipment regularly.
Wash hands and other exposed areas with mild soap and water before eating,
drinking, and when leaving work.
