contained breathing apparatus. Keep person warm and at rest. If not breathing, if
breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen
by 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 waistband.

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 the lungs. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person. 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 waistband.

give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Section 5. Fire Fighting Measures
Flammability of the product : Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapor may cause flash fire. Vapors may accumulate in
low or confined areas or travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash
back. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.
: These products are carbon oxides (CO, CO 2).
Products of combustion
Extinguishing media
: Use dry chemical, CO 2, water spray (fog) or foam.

sparking or explosion-proof means to transfer material to a sealable, appropriate
container for disposal. For large spills, dike spilled material or otherwise contain material
to ensure runoff does not reach a waterway. Place spilled material in an appropriate
container for disposal.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
: Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Keep container closed. Use
Handling
only with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Keep away from heat,
sparks and flame. To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by
grounding and bonding containers and equipment before transferring material. Use
explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment. Wash
thoroughly after handling.
: Store in a segregated and approved area. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
Storage
Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Avoid all possible sources
of ignition (spark or flame).
