SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 to 20 minutes. Ensure
adequate flushing of the eyes by separating the eyelids with fingers. Get
immediate medical attention.
Skin Contact: Immediately wash skin with plenty of soap and water for 15 to 20 minutes, while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if irritation
develops or persists.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration or give

To Top of page
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: Use appropriate engineering control such as process enclosures, local exhaust
ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels below
recommended exposure limits. Good general ventilation should be sufficient to
control airborne levels. Where such systems are not effective wear suitable
personal protective equipment, which performs satisfactorily and meets OSHA or
other recognized standards. Consult with local procedures for selection, training,
inspection and maintenance of the personal protective equipment.
Skin Protection Description: Wear appropriate protective gloves and other protective apparel to prevent skin
contact. Consult manufacturer's data for permeability data.
Eye/Face Protection: Wear appropriate protective glasses or splash goggles as described by 29 CFR
1910.133, OSHA eye and face protection regulation, or the European standard
EN 166.
Respiratory Protection: A NIOSH approved air-purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge or
canister may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne
concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits. Protection provided by
air purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator
if there is any potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not
known, or any other circumstances where air purifying respirators may not
provide adequate protection.
Other Protective: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash
and a deluge shower safety station.
