Section 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. If easy to do,
Eye Contact:
remove contact lenses, if worn.
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove
Skin Contact:
contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Call a
physician if irritation develops and persists.
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
Inhalation:
breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
Ingestion:
personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
General Advice: In case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately
(show the label or MSDS where possible).

Section 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability: Flammable by OSHA criteria.
Means of Extinction:
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Not available.
Products of Combustion: May include, and are not limited to: oxides of carbon.
Explosion Data:
Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact: Not available.
Sensitivity to Static Discharge: Not available.
Protection of Firefighters: Containers may explode when heated. Keep upwind of fire. Wear
full fire fighting turn-out gear (full Bunker gear) and respiratory protection (SCBA).
Section 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions: Use personal protection recommended in Section 8. Isolate the hazard
area and deny entry to unnecessary and unprotected personnel. Eliminate sources of ignition.
Ruptured cylinders may rocket.
Environmental Precautions: Many gases are heavier than air and will spread along ground
and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). This material is a water
pollutant. Keep out of drains, sewers, ditches, and waterways. Minimize use of water to prevent
environmental contamination.
Methods for Containment: Contain and/or absorb spill with inert material (e.g. sand,
vermiculite), then place in a suitable container. Do not flush to sewer or allow to enter
waterways. Use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Methods for Clean-Up: Vacuum or sweep material and place in a disposal container. Allow
gas to dissipate harmlessly into the atmosphere.
Other Information: Not available.
