4. FIRST AID MEASURES: Eyes: rinse immediately with plenty of water Skin:. Rinse with plenty of soap & water
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Rinse with water.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES: Info: 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. Special Hazards: Carbon oxides.
Extinguishing: Use water spray, dry chemical, Carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES: Info: Use proper PPE as indicated in Section 8. Spills/Leaks: Vacuum or sweep
up material and place into a suitable closed disposal container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to
safe areas. Do not let product enter drains, discharge into the environment must be avoided.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE: Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Avoid breathing dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep
container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Storage: Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool dry well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION:
Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and safety
shower. Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
