Assure adequate flushing of the eyes by separating the eyelids
with fingers.
AFTER INGESTION
If swallowed, wash out mouth with water provided person is
conscious. Call a physician.
5 - Fire Fighting Measures
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Suitable: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, or appropriate
foam.
SPECIAL RISKS
Specific Hazard(s): Vapor may travel considerable distance to
source of ignition and flash back. Flammable liquid. Emits toxic
fumes under fire conditions.
Explosion Hazards: Vapor may travel considerable distance to
source of ignition and flash back.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIREFIGHTERS
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
to prevent contact with skin and eyes.
6 - Accidental Release Measures
PERSONAL PRECAUTION PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED IN CASE OF LEAK OR SPILL
