IV. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Inhalation Irritation:
Skin Contact:
Eye Contact:
Ingestion Irritation:
At ambient handling temperatures , no irritation due to inhalation is anticipated.
Wash contact areas with soap and water. If product is injected into or under the skin, seek
immediate physician care regardless of the size of the entry wound.
Flush thoroughly with water. If irritation persists seek medical attention.
Seek medical attention if discomfort occurs. .
V. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability Summary:
Extinguishing Media:
Not combustible/ not flammable.
Use water spray, foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical extinguishing
agents. Water spray or fog may also be effective for extinguishing if

swept across the base of the fire. Water can also be used to absorb heat
and keep exposed material from being damaged by fire.
Material may be ignited only if preheated to temperatures above the
high flash point, for example in a fire.
Do not enter fire area without proper protection including selfcontained breathing apparatus and full protective equipment. Use
methods for the surrounding fire.
Aldehydes, Oxides of carbon, smoke, fumes, Sulfur oxides,Carbon
dioxide, Carbon monoxide
VI. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions and Equipment:
Methods for Clean-up:
No adverse health affects expected from the clean-up of spilled
material. Follow personal protective equipment recommendations found
in Section VIII of this MSDS.
Prevent the spread of any spill to minimize harm to human health and
the environment if safe to do so. Wear complete and proper personal
protective equipment following the recommendation of Section VIII at
a minimum. Dike with suitable absorbent material like granulated clay.
Gather and store in a sealed container pending a waste disposal
evaluation.
VII. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Technical Measures and
Precautions:
Storage Technical Measures and
Conditions:
No special handling instructions due to toxicity.
Store in a cool dry ventilated location. Isolate from incompatible
materials and conditions. Keep container(s) closed. Do not expose to
extreme temperatures or flames.
VIII. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
NOTE: Limits/standards shown for guidance only. Follow applicable regulations.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary depending upon potential exposure
conditions. Control measures to consider:
No special requirements under ordinary conditions of use and with adequate ventilation.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
Personal protective equipment selections vary based on potential exposure conditions such as applications,
handling practices, concentration and ventilation. Information on the selection of protective equipment for
use with this material, as provided below, is based upon intended, normal usage.
Respiratory Protection: If engineering controls do not maintain airborne contaminant concentrations at a
level which is adequate to protect worker health, an approved respirator may be appropriate. Respirator
selection, use, and maintenance must be in accordance with regulatory requirements, if applicable. Types
of respirators to be considered for this material include:
No protection is ordinarily required under normal conditions of use and with adequate ventilation.
For high airborne concentrations, use an approved supplied-air respirator, operated in positive pressure
mode. Supplied air respirators with an escape bottle may be appropriate when oxygen levels are
inadequate, gas/vapor warning properties are poor, or if air purifying filter capacity/rating may be
exceeded.

Hand Protection: Any specific glove information provided is based on published literature and glove
manufacturer data. Work conditions can greatly effect glove durability; inspect and replace worn or
damaged gloves. The types of gloves to be considered for this material include:
No protection is ordinarily required under normal conditions of use.
Eye Protection: If contact is likely, safety glasses with side shields are recommended.
Skin and Body Protection: Any specific clothing information provided is based on published literature
or manufacturer data. The types of clothing to be considered for this material include:
No skin protection is ordinarily required under normal conditions of use. In accordance with
good industrial hygiene practices, precautions should be taken to avoid skin contact.
Specific Hygiene Measures: Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after
handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and
protective equipment to remove contaminants. Discard contaminated clothing and footwear that cannot be
cleaned. Practice good housekeeping.
