4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Have the product container, label or Material Safety Data Sheet with you when calling a poison control center
or doctor, or going for treatment.
Ingestion: If swallowed: Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Have the
person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so after calling a
poison control center or doctor. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Eye Contact: If in eyes: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove
contact lenses, if present, after 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a poison control center or doctor for
treatment advice.
Skin Contact: If on skin or clothing: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of
water for 15-20 minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
Inhalation: If inhaled: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then
give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth if possible. Call a poison control center or doctor for
further treatment advice.
Notes to Physician
There is no specific antidote if this product is ingested
Treat symptomatically.

Fire and Explosion
Flash Point (Test Method): > 212癋 (Abel-Pensky CC
Flammable Limits (% in Air): Lower: % Not Applicable Upper: % Not Applicable
Autoignition Temperature: Not Available
Flammability: Not Applicable
Unusual Fire, Explosion and Reactivity Hazards
During a fire, irritating and possibly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
In Case of Fire
Use dry chemical, foam or CO2 extinguishing media. Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing
apparatus. Evacuate nonessential personnel from the area to prevent human exposure to fire, smoke, fumes or
products of combustion. Prevent use of contaminated buildings, area, and equipment until decontaminated.
Water runoff can cause environmental damage. If water is used to fight fire, dike and collect runoff.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
In Case of Spill or Leak
Control the spill at its source. Contain the spill to prevent from spreading or contaminating soil or from
entering sewage and drainage systems or any body of water. Clean up spills immediately, observing
precautions outlined in Section 8. Cover entire spill with absorbing material and place into compatible disposal
container. Scrub area with hard water detergent (e.g. commercial products such as Tide, Joy, Spic and Span).
Pick up wash liquid with additional absorbent and place into compatible disposal container. Once all material is
cleaned up and placed in a disposal container, seal container and arrange for disposition.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Store the material in a well-ventilated, secure area out of reach of children and domestic animals. Do not store
food, beverages or tobacco products in the storage area. Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco use, and cosmetic
application in areas where there is a potential for exposure to the material. Wash thoroughly with soap and
water after handling.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL
PROTECTION ARE INTENDED FOR THE MANUFACTURE, FORMULATION AND PACKAGING
OF THIS PRODUCT.
FOR COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS AND/OR ON-FARM APPLICATIONS CONSULT THE
PRODUCT LABEL.
Ingestion: Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco usage and cosmetic application in areas where there is a potential
for exposure to the material. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
Eye Contact: Where eye contact is likely, use chemical splash goggles.
Skin Contact: Where contact is likely, wear chemical-resistant (such as nitrile or butyl) gloves, coveralls,
socks and chemical-resistant footwear. For overhead exposure, wear chemical-resistant headgear.
Inhalation: A respirator is not normally required when handling this substance. Use effective engineering
controls to comply with occupational exposure limits.
