4. First Aid Measures
Take proper precautions to ensure your own health and safety before attempting rescue or providing first aid. For
more specific information, refer to Exposure Controls and Personal Protection in Section 8 of this MSDS.
Inhalation
Eye Contact
Skin Contact
Ingestion
General Advice
If breathing is difficult, remove to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
Get medical attention immediately.
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if
irritation develops or persists.
Wash off with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
It swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show this container or label. Do not induce
vomiting without medical advice.
If you feel unwell, seek medical advice (show label when possible).
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media
Suitable extinguishing
Media
Protection of firefighters
Water, Alcohol foam, polymer foam, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide
Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, SCBA. If tank, rail car, or tank truck is involved in
a fire. Isolate for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. Always stay away from tanks engulfed in
flame. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or any
discoloration of tanks due to fire. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Do
not scatter spilled material with high pressure water streams. Use water spray to cool unopened
containers. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions
Environmental
precautions
Keep people away from upwind of spill/leak. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material
unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Keep unnecessary personnel away. Stay upwind,
keep out of low areas.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not contaminate water.
Methods for containment
Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area.) Stop the
flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Use water
spray to reduce vapors or divert vapor cloud drift. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers,
basements or confined areas.
Methods for cleaning up
Should not be released into the environment.
Large Spills: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Use a non-combustible material like
vermiculite, sand or earth to soak up the product and place into a container for later disposal.
After removal flush contaminated area thoroughly with water.
Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (cloth, fleece). Clean contaminated surface
thoroughly.
Never return spills in original containers
7. Handling and Storage
Handling
Do not breathe dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid
release to the environment. Wash thoroughly after handling.

3 Serious Hazard Major injury likely unless prompt action is taken and medical treatment is given
4 Severe Hazard Life-threatening, major or permanent damage may result from single or repeated overexposures
HMIS® III - FLAMMABILITY RATINGS
0 Minimal Hazard Materials that will not burn
1 Slight Hazard Materials that must be preheated before ignition will occur. Includes liquids, solids and semi solids
having a flash point above 200 F. (Class IIIB)
2 Moderate Hazard Materials which must be moderately heated or exposed to high ambient temperatures before
ignition will occur. Includes liquids having a flash point at or above 100 F but below 200 F. (Classes II & IIIA)
3 Serious Hazard Materials capable of ignition under almost all normal temperature conditions. Includes flammable
liquids with flash points below 73 F and boiling points above 100 F. as well as liquids with flash points
between 73 F and 100 F. (Classes IB & IC)
4 Severe Hazard Flammable gases, or very volatile flammable liquids with flash points below 73 F, and boiling points
below 100 F. Materials may ignite spontaneously with air. (Class IA)
HMIS® III - PHYSICAL HAZARD RATINGS
0 Minimal Hazard Materials that are normally stable, even under fire conditions, and will NOT react with water,
polymerize, decompose, condense, or self-react. Non-Explosives.
1 Slight Hazard Materials that are normally stable but can become unstable (self-react) at high temperatures and
pressures. Materials may react non-violently with water or undergo hazardous polymerization in the absence
of inhibitors.
2 Moderate Hazard Materials that are unstable and may undergo violent chemical changes at normal temperature and
pressure with low risk for explosion. Materials may react violently with water or form peroxides upon exposure
to air.
3 Serious Hazard Materials that may form explosive mixtures with water and are capable of detonation or explosive
reaction in the presence of a strong initiating source. Materials may polymerize, decompose, self-react, or
undergo other chemical change at normal temperature and pressure with moderate risk of explosion.
4 Severe Hazard Materials that are readily capable of explosive water reaction, detonation or explosive decomposition,
polymerization, or self-reaction at normal temperature and pressure.
