Ingestion:
If swallowed and the person is conscious, immediately give large amounts of water. Get medical
attention.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Prompt action is essential.
Skin Contact: In case of contact, flush skin with water.
Eye Contact: In case of eye contact, immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
========================================================================
PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
========================================================================
Ventilation:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep vapor and mist levels as low as possible.

No responsibilities or liabilities are assumed or implied by CITY U for their inaccuracies.
Respiratory Protection:
None required where adequate ventilation conditions exist. If airborne concentration is high, a chemical
cartridge respirator with organic vapor cartridge is recommended. If concentration exceeds capacity of
cartridge respirator, a self-contained breathing apparatus is advised.
Eye/Skin Protection: Safety goggles, uniform, apron, rubber gloves are recommended.
Storage Requirements:
Keep container tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated, flammable liquid storage area or
cabinet.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION DATA
========================================================================
Steps To Be Taken In The Event Of A Spill Or Discharge:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Shut off ignition sources; no flares,
smoking or flames in area. Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Use water spray to reduce vapors.
Take up with sand or other non-combustible absorbent material and place into container for later
disposal. Flush area with water.
