Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Remove source(s) of contamination and move victim to fresh air. If breathing has
stopped, give artificial respiration, then oxygen if needed. Contact physician immediately.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with plenty of water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
Ingestion: Ingestion is unlikely route of exposure. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed by a
physician.
After first aid, get appropriate in-plant, paramedic, or community medical support.

Flash Point Method: TCC
2 0
Autoignition Temperature: Not Determined
Flammability Classification: Flammable Liquid 0
General Hazard: Material will readily ignite at ambient temperatures. Material
can accumulate static charges, which can cause an incendiary electrical discharge.
"Empty" containers retain product residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. DO
NOT Pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such containers to heat, flame,
sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition; They may explode and cause injury or
death. Empty drums should be completely drained, properly bunged and promptly returned to
a drum reconditioner, or properly disposed of.
Extinguishing Media: Water Fog, Dry Chemical, and Carbon Dioxide Foam
Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: None
Fire-Fighting Instructions: Use water spray to cool fire-exposed surfaces and to protect
personnel. Shut off "fuel" to fire. If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the
vapors. Either allow fire to burn under controlled conditions or extinguish with foam or dry
chemical. Try to cover liquid spills with foam. Avoid spraying water directly onto storage
containers due to danger of boil over. This liquid is volatile and gives off invisible vapors. Either
the liquid or vapor may settle in low areas or travel some distance along the ground or surface
to ignition sources where they may ignite or explode.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Spill /Leak Procedures: Only properly protected personnel should remain in the spill area; dike
and contain spill; absorb or scrape up excess into suitable container for disposal; wash area with
dilute ammonia solution. Stop or reduce discharge if it can be done safely.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling Precautions: Minimize breathing of vapors and avoid prolonged or repeated contact
with skin. Wear proper protective equipment. If ventilation is not sufficient, wear proper
respiratory equipment. Avoid moisture contamination. Reseal partial containers. Use good
general housekeeping procedures.
Storage Requirements: Store in cool dry, well-ventilated area.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Respiratory Protection: Respiratory Protection: Follow OSHA respirator regulations 29 CFR
1910.134 and European Standard EN 149; wear an MSHA/NIOSH or European Standard
EN149 approved respirator. Warning! Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-
deficient atmospheres. If respirators are used, OSHA requires a written respiratory protection
program that includes at least: medical certification, training, fit-testing, periodic environmental
monitoring, maintenance, inspection, cleaning, and convenient, sanitary storage areas
Protective Clothing/Equipment: Wear chemically protective gloves and aprons to prevent
prolonged or repeated skin contact. Wear protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles, per
OSHA eye- and face-protection regulations 29 CFR 1910.133 and European Standard EN166.
