Effects
Inhalation of this product may cause respiratory tract irritation and Central Nervous System (CNS) Depression,
symptoms of which may include; weakness, dizziness, slurred speech, drowsiness, unconsciousness and in
cases of severe overexposure; coma and death. Ingestion of this product may cause gastro-intestinal irritation.
Aspiration of this product may result in severe irritation or burns to the respiratory tract. For more information

eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water for 15 minutes or until the chemical is removed, while holding the
eyelid(s) open. Take care not to rinse contaminated water into the unaffected eye or onto the face. Obtain
medical attention immediately.
Avoid direct contact. Wear chemical resistant protective clothing if necessary. Quickly and gently, blot or brush

away excess chemical. Wash gently and thoroughly with warm water and non-abrasive soap for 15 minutes or
until chemical is removed. Under running water, remove contaminated clothing, shoes and leather goods (e.g.,
watch bands, belts, etc.). Obtain medical attention immediately. Completely decontaminate clothing, shoes and
leather goods before reuse or discard.
Take proper precautions to ensure your own safety before attempting rescue (e.g. wear appropriate protective
Inhalation
equipment). If breathing has stopped, trained personnel should begin artificial respiration (AR) or, if the heart
has stopped, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) immediately. Immediately transport victim to an emergency
care facility.

victim rinse mouth thoroughly with water. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Have victim drink 240 to 300 mL (8 to
10 oz) of water to dilute material in stomach. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward to reduce risk
of aspiration. Repeat administration of water. If breathing has stopped, trained personnel should begin artificial
respiration (AR) or, if the heart has stopped, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) immediately. Quickly
transport victim to an emergency care facility.

Media and
inefficient.
Instructions
If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also
consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions.
SMALL FIRES: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam.
LARGE FIRES: Water spray, fog or regular foam. Do not use straight streams. Move containers from fire
area if you can do it without risk.
Fires Involving Tanks or Car/Trailer Loads: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or
monitor nozzles.
Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of
rising sound from venting devices or any discolouration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from the ends of tanks.
For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible withdraw from area and
let fire burn. Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Structural firefighters'
protective clothing will only provide limited protection.
Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Consult current National Emergency Response Guide Book (NAERG) for appropriate spill measures if
Material Release
necessary. IN THE EVENT OF A LARGE SPILL CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING CONTROL MEASURES:
or Spill
Extinguish all ignition sources. Stop leak if safe to do so. Ventilate area. Dike spilled material. Use
appropriate inert absorbent material to absorb spilled product. Collect used absorbent for later disposal. Avoid
contact with spilled material. Avoid breathing vapours or mists of material. Avoid contaminating sewers,
streams, rivers and other water courses with spilled material. Evacuate non-essential personnel. Ensure
clean-up personnel wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Ground and bond all equipment used to
clean up the spilled material, as it may be a static accumulator. Notify appropriate authorities immediately.
Section 7. Handling and Storage

Handling
sparks. Avoid skin contact. Avoid eye contact. Avoid inhalation of product vapours or mists. Empty
containers may contain product residue. Do not pressurize, cut, heat, or weld empty containers. Do not reuse
containers without commercial cleaning and/or reconditioning. Personnel who handle this material should
practice good personal hygiene during and after handling to help prevent accidental ingestion of this product.
Properly dispose of contaminated leather articles including shoes that cannot be decontaminated. Avoid
confined spaces and areas with poor ventilation. Ensure all equipment is grounded/bonded. Wear proper
personal protective equipment (See Section 8).
Store away from heat and sources of ignition. Store in dry, cool, well-ventilated area. Store away from

supplied to balance air removed by exhaust ventilation. Ensure that eyewash station and safety shower are
close to work-station.
Personal Protection - The selection of personal protective equipment varies, depending upon conditions of use.
Eyes As a minimum, safety glasses with side shields should be worn when handling this material. If product is used in
an application where splashing may occur, the use of safety goggles and/or a face shield should be considered.
Body If this material may come in contact with the body during handling and use, we recommend wearing appropriate
protective clothing to prevent contact with the skin. (Contact your PPE provider for more information.)
Respiratory A NIOSH-approved air-purifying respirator with an organic vapour cartridge or canister may be permissible
under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits. Protection
provided by air-purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator if there is any
potential for uncontrolled release, exposure levels are unknown, or any other circumstances where air-purifying
respirators may not provide adequate protection.
Hands If this material may come in contact with the hands during handling and use, we recommend wearing gloves of
the following material(s): nitrile, neoprene, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), fluoro-elastomer. Consult your PPE provider
for breakthrough times and the specific glove that is best for you based on your use patterns. It should be
realized that eventually any material regardless of their imperviousness, will get permeated by chemicals.
Therefore, protective gloves should be regularly checked for wear and tear. At the first signs of hardening and
cracks, they should be changed.
Feet Wear appropriate footwear to prevent product from coming in contact with feet and skin.
