4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes
If material gets into the eyes, immediately flush eyes gently with
water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids apart. If
symptoms develop as a result of vapor exposure, immediately move
individual away from exposure and into fresh air before flushing
as recommended above. Seek immediate medical attention.
Skin
Immediately flush skin with water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Seek immediate medical
attention. Wash clothing before reuse and discard contaminated
shoes.
Swallowing
Seek immediate medical attention. Do not induce vomiting.
Vomiting will cause further damage to the mouth and throat. If
individual is conscious and alert, immediately rinse mouth with
water and give milk or water to drink. If possible, do not leave
individual unattended.
Inhalation
If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from
exposure and into 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.
Note to Physicians
Preexisting disorders of the following organs (or organ systems)
may be aggravated by exposure to this material: skin, lung (for
example, asthma-like conditions).

May form: carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides,
,
phosphorous compounds.
Fire and Explosion Hazards
Never use welding or cutting torch on or near drum (even empty)
because product (even just residue) can ignite explosively.
Extinguishing Media
water fog.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece
operated in the positivepressure demand mode with-appropriate--
turn-out gear and chemical resistant personal protective
equipment. Refer to the personal protective equipment section of
this MSDS.
NFPA Rating
Not determined
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Small Spill
Cover the contaminated surface with sodium bicarbonate or a soda
ash/flaked lime mixture (50-50). Mix and add water if necessary
form a slurry. Scoop up slurry and wash site with soda ash
solution. Proper mixing procedures are essential. Trained
personnel should conduct this procedure. Untrained personnel
should be removed from the spill area.
Large Spill
Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded from
area of spill until clean-up is completed. Stop spill at source.
Dike to prevent spreading. Pump to salvage tank.
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. Addition to water releases heat which can result in
violent boiling and spattering. Always add slowly and in small
amounts. Never use hot water. Never add water to acids. Always
add acids to water.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Eye Protection
Chemical splash goggles and face shield (8" min.) in compliance
with OSHA regulations are advised; however, OSHA regulations also
permit other type safety glasses. (Consult your industrial
hygienist.)
Skin Protection
Wear resistant gloves such as: polyvinyl chloride, To prevent
skin contact, wear impervious clothing and boots..
Respiratory Protections
If workplace exposure limit(s) of product or any component
exceeded (see exposure guidelines), a NIOSH/MSHA approved air
supplied respirator is advised in absence of proper environmental

control. OSHA regulations also permit other NIOSH/MSHA
respirators (negative pressure type) under specified conditions
(see your industrial hygienist). Engineering or administrative
controls should be implemented to reduce exposure.
Engineering Controls
Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust)
ventilation to maintain exposure below TLV(s).
