MSDSANSI/ANSI/EN/150000100315/Version 2.5
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Treat symptomatically. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
Eyes: Any material that contacts the eye should be washed out immediately with water. If easy to do,
remove contact lenses. Get medical attention. In case of irritation from airborne exposure, move
to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
Skin: Wash off with soap and water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Ingestion: Seek medical advice.
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.
Hazardous Combustion Products: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: none
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. 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: Avoid breathing vapor from heated material. Avoid contact with
eyes, skin, and clothing. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Prevention of Fire and Explosion: Keep from contact with oxidizing materials.
Storage: Keep container closed.

TWA Action Level: 0.5 ppm,
Ventilation: Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation
rates should be matched to conditions. Supplementary local exhaust ventilation, closed
systems, or respiratory and eye protection may be needed in special circumstances; such as
poorly ventilated spaces, heating, evaporation of liquids from large surfaces, spraying of mists,
mechanical generation of dusts, drying of solids, etc.
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).
Skin Protection: It is a good industrial hygiene practice to minimize skin contact., For operations
where prolonged or repeated skin contact may occur, chemical-resistant gloves should be worn.
Contact health and safety professional or manufacturer for specific information.
Recommended Decontamination Facilities: eye bath, washing facilities
