| Section 4 - First Aid Measures |
| Eyes: | Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. |
| Skin: | Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. |
| Ingestion: | Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. |
| Inhalation: | Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. |
| Notes to Physician: |
| Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures |
| General Information: | As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Will burn if involved in a fire. Combustible liquid. |
| Extinguishing Media: | In case of fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or alcohol-resistant foam. |
| Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures |
| General Information: | Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8. |
| Spills/Leaks: | Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. |
| Section 7 - Handling and Storage |
| Handling: | Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. |
| Storage: | Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry place. Keep container closed when not in use. |
| Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection |
| Engineering Controls: | |
| Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible exposure limits. Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels. | |
| Exposure Limits | |
| CAS# 2459-09-8:
|
|
| Personal Protective Equipment | |
| Eyes: | Wear safety glasses and chemical ggles if splashing is possible. |
