Revision Date: 09/28/2009
MSDSANSI/ANSI/EN/150000100356/Version 1.3
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.
Eyes: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove contact
lenses. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. In case of irritation from airborne
exposure, move to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
Skin: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
clothing and shoes. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Wash contaminated
clothing before reuse. Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes.
Ingestion: Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If victim is
fully conscious, give a cupful of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
If vomiting occurs, keep head lower than the hips to help prevent aspiration.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media: water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, alcohol foam
Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Hazardous Combustion Products: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxides of sulfur
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Combustible.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Eliminate all ignition sources. Absorb spill with
vermiculite or other inert material, then place in a container for chemical waste.
For Large Spills: Flush spill area with water spray. Prevent runoff from entering drains, sewers, or
streams. Dike for later disposal.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Personal Precautionary Measures: Do not breathe mist or vapor. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on
clothing. Do not taste or swallow. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after
handling.
Prevention of Fire and Explosion: Keep away from heat and flame. Keep from contact with oxidizing
materials.
Storage: Keep container closed.

Skin designation: Can be absorbed through the skin.
Ventilation: Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation
rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust
ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended
exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an
acceptable level.
Respiratory Protection: If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below
recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where
exposure limits have not been established), an approved respirator must be worn. In the United
States of America, if respirators are used, a program should be instituted to assure compliance
with OSHA Standard 63 FR 1152, January 8, 1998. Respirator type: Air-purifying respirator with
an appropriate, government approved (where applicable), air-purifying filter, cartridge or
canister. Contact health and safety professional or manufacturer for specific information.
Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) and a face shield. Wear a full-
face respirator, if needed.
Skin Protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, footwear, and protective clothing appropriate for the
risk of exposure. Contact health and safety professional or manufacturer for specific
information.
Recommended Decontamination Facilities: eye bath, washing facilities
