SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES, OCCASIONALLY LIFTING THE UPPER AND LOWER EYELIDS. CHECK FOR AND
REMVOE ANY CONTACT LENSES. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
SKIN: GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATLEY. FLUSH CONTAMINATED SKIN WITH PLENTY OF WATER. CONTINUE TO RINSE
FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES. WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING THOUGHLY
WITH WATER BEFORE REMOVING OR WEAR GLOVES. WASH CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE. CLEAN SHOES THOROUGHLY
BEFORE REUSE..
INGESTION: GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. WASH OUT MOUTH WITH WATER. REMOVE DENTURES IF ANY. MOVE
EXPOSED PERSON TO FRESH AIR. KEEP PERSON WARM AND AT REST. IF MATERIAL HAS BEEN SWALLOWED AND THE
EXPOSED PERSON IS CONSCIOUS, GIVE SMALL QUANTITIES OF WATER TO DRINK. STOP IF THE EXPOSED PERSON FEELS SICK
AS VOMITING MAY BE DANGEROUS. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING UNLESS DIRECTED TO DO SO BY MEDICAL PERSONNEL. IF
VOMITING OCCURS, THE HEAD SHOULD BE KEPT LOW SO THAT VOMIT DOES NOT ENTER HE LUNGS. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING
BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. IF UNCONSCIOUS, PLACE IN RECOVERY POSITION AND GET MEDICAL ATTENTION
IMMEDIATELY. MAINTAIN AN OPEN AIR, LOOSEN TIGHT CLOTHING SUCH AS A COLLAR, TIE, BELT OR WAISTBAND
INHALATION: GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. MOVE EXPOSED PERSON TO FRESH AIR. IF IT IS SUSPECTED THAT
FUMES ARE STILL PRESENT, THE RESCUER SHOULD WEAR AN APPROPRIATE MASK OR SELF CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS. KEEP PERSON WARM AND AT REST. IF NOT BREATHING, IF BREATHING IS IRREGULAR OR IF RESPIRATORY
ARREST OCURS, PROVIDE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION OR OXYGEN B TRAINED PERSONNEL. IT MAY BE DANGEROUS TO THE
PERSON PROVIDING AID TO GIVE MOUTH TO MOUTH RESUSCITATION. IF UNCONSCIOUS, PLACE IN RECOVERY POSITION AND
GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. MAINTAIN AN OPEN AIRWAY. LOOSEN TIGHT CLOTHING SUCH AS A COLLAR, TIE ,
BELT OR WASTBAND
NOTES TO PHYSICIANS OR FIRST AID PROVIDERS: NO ACTION SHALL BE TAKEN INVOLVING ANY PERSONAL RISK OR
WITHOUT SUITABLE TRINING. IF IT IS SUSPECTED THAT FUMES ARE STILL PRESENT, THE RESCUER SHOULD WEAR AN
APPROPRIATE MASK OR SELF CONTAINED BREATHING PPARATUS. IT MAY BE DANGEROUS TO THE PERSON PROVIDING AID
TO GIVE MOUTH-TO-MOUTH RESUSCITATION.

SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES:
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: IMMEDIATELY CONTACT EMERGENCY PERSONNEL. ELIMINATE ALL IGNITION SOURCES. KEEP
UNNECCESSARY PERSONNEL AWAY. USE SUITABLE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. DO NOT TOUCH OR WALK THROUGH SPILLED
MATERIAL.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS: AVOID DISPERSAL OF SPILLED MATERIAL AND RUNOFF AND CONTACT WITH SOIL,
WATERWAYS, DRAINS AND SEWERS.
METHODS FOR CLEANING UP: IF EMERGENCY PERSONNEL ARE UNAVAILABLE, CONTAIN SPILLED MATERIAL. FOR SMALL
SPILLS, ADD ABSORBENT (SOIL MAY BE USED IN THE ABSENCE OF OTHER SUITABLE MATERIALS) AND USE NON SPARKING
OR EXPLOSION PROOF MEANS TO TRNSFER MATERIAL TO SEALABLE, APPROPRIATE CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING AND STORAGE: DO NOT INGEST. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN, AND CLOTHING. KEEP CONTAINER CLOSED,
USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. AVOID BREATHING VAPOR OR MIST. KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS, AND FLAME.
ATO AVOID FIRE OR EXPLOSION, DISSIPATE STATIC ELECTRICITY DURING TRANSFER BY GROUNDING AND BONDING
CONTAINERS AND EQUIPMENT BEFORE TRANSFERRING MATERIAL. USE EXPLOSION PROFF ELECTRICAL (VENTILATION,
LIGHTING AND MATERIAL HANDLING) EQUIPMENT. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING.
STORE IN A SEGREGATED AND APPROVED AREA. KEEP CONTAINER IN A COOL, WELL-VENTILATED AREA. KEEP CONTAINER
TIGHTLY CLOSED AND SEALED UNTIL READY FOR USE. AVOID ALL POSSIBLE SOURCES OF IGNITION (SPARK OR FLAME)
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: N/A
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: N/A
VENTILATION: USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. IF USER OPERATIONS GENERATE DUST, FUMES, VAPOR, OR MIST,
USE PROCESS ENCLOSURES, LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION OR OTHER ENGINEERING CONTROLS TO KEEP WORKER
EXPOSURE TO AIRBORNE CONTAMINANTS BELOW ANY RECOMMENDED OR STATUTORY LIMITS. THE ENGINEERING
CONTROLS ALSO NEED TO KEEP GAS, VAPOR, OR DUST CONCENTRATIONS BELOW ANY LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMITS. USE
EXPLOSION PROOF VENTILATION EQUIPMENT
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: USE A PROPERLY FITTED, AIR-PURIFYING OR AIR-FED RESPIRATOR COMPLYING WITH AN
APPROVED STANDARD IF A RISK ASSESSMENT INDICATES THIS IS NECESSARY. RESPIRATOR SELECTION MUST BE BASED ON
KNOWN OR ANTICIPATED EXPOSURE LEVELS, THE HAZARDS OF THE PRODUCT AND THE SAFE WORKING LIMITS OF THE
SELECTED RESPIRATOR.
EYE PROTECTION: SAFETY EYEWEAR COMPLYING WITH AN APPROVED STANDARD SHOULD BE USED WHEN A RISK
ASSESSMENT INDICATES THIS IS NECESSARY TO AVOID EXPOSURE TO LIQUID SPLASHES, MISTS, GASES OR DUST.
RECOMMENDED FACE SHIELD.
SKIN PROTECTION: PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR THE BODY SHOULD BE SELECED BASED ON THE TAST BEING
PERFORMED AND THE RISKS INVOLVED AND SHOULD BE APPROVED BY A SPECIALIST BEFORE HANDLING THIS PRODUCT.
RECOMMENDED LAB COAT AND GLOVES. CHEMICAL-RESISTANT, IMPERVIOUS GLOVES COMPLYING WITH AN APPROVED
STANDARD SHOULD BE WORN AT ALL TIMES WHEN HANDLING CHEMICAL PRODUCTS IF A RISK ASSESSMENT INDICATES THIS
IS NECESSARY. RECOMMENDED: VITON
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT: N/A
WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES: WASH HANDS, FOREARMS AND FACE THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING CHEMICAL PRODUCTS,
BEFORE EATING, SMOKING AND USING THE LAVATORY AND AT THE END OF THE WORKING PERIOD. APPROPRIATE
TECHNIQUES SHOULD BE USED TO REMOVE POTENTIALLY CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH CONAMINATED CLOTHING
BEFORE REUSING. ENSURE THAT EYEWASH STATIONS AND SAFET SHOWERS ARE CLOSE TO THE WORKSTATION LOCATION
