4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes
If symptoms develop, move individual away from exposure and into fresh air.
Flush eyes gently with water while holding eyelids apart. If symptoms persist or there is
any visual difficulty, seek medical attention.
Skin
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed area with soap and water. If

fresh air. Seek immediate medical attention; keep person warm and quiet. If person is
not breathing, begin artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If
symptoms develop, move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. If symptoms
persist, seek medical attention. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Keep person
warm and quiet; seek immediate medical attention.
Notes to Physician

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable Extinguishing Media
dry chemical, carbon dioxide (CO2), foam, water spray
Hazardous Combustion Products
May form:, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, various hydrocarbons
Precautions for Fire-Fighting
Never use welding or cutting torch on or near drum (even empty) because product
(even just residue) can ignite explosively. Wear full firefighting turn-out gear (full
Bunker gear), and respiratory protection (SCBA). DO NOT direct a solid stream of water
or foam into hot, burning pools of liquid since this may cause frothing and increase fire
intensity. Frothing can be violent and possibly endanger any firefighter standing too
close to the burning liquid.
Flammability Class for Flammable Liquids
Combustible Liquid Class IIIBCombustible Liquid Class IIIB
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions
For personal protection see section 8. Eliminate all ignition sources (flares,
flames including pilot lights, electrical sparks). Persons not wearing protective equipment

should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been completed. Stop spill at
source. Prevent from entering drains, sewers, streams or other bodies of water. Prevent
from spreading. If runoff occurs, notify authorities as required. Pump or vacuum
transfer spilled product to clean containers for recovery. Absorb unrecoverable product.
Transfer contaminated absorbent, soil and other materials to containers for disposal.
Environmental Precautions
No data
Methods for Cleaning Up
Per good environmental management practices, prevent run-off to sewers, streams
and other bodies of water. Stop spill at the source. Cover sewer grates and dike the
spill. Absorb spilled material on to absorbents. Shovel materials into container. Close
container tightly and dispose of properly. Absorb liquid on vermiculite, floor absorbent or
other absorbent material.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since emptied
containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or solid), all hazard precautions
given in the data sheet must be observed.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Keep containers closed when not in use.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Guidelines
General Advice
These recommendations provide general guidance for handling this product.
Personal protective equipment should be selected for individual applications and should
consider factors which affect exposure potential, such as handling practices, chemical
concentrations and ventilation. It is ultimately the responsibility of the employer to
follow regulatory guidelines established by local authorities.
Exposure Controls
Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to
maintain exposure below level of overexposure (from known, suspected or apparent
adverse effects).
