4. FIRST AID MEASURES
General Advice
In case of injury caused by fire:. Flush with plenty of water immediately. Continue flushing
during transport to hospital or medical center.
Eye Contact
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. If eye
irritation persists, consult a specialist.
Skin Contact
Wash skin with soap and water. If skin irritation persists, call a physician.
Inhalation
Move victim to fresh air. Apply artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Administer oxygen
if breathing is difficult. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Ingestion
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Clean mouth with water and
afterwards drink plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Notes to Physician
Treat symptomatically.
Protection of First-aiders
Remove all sources of ignition. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s)
involved, and take precautions to protect themselves.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammable Properties
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames.
Flash Point
< 21°C / < 70°F
Suitable Extinguishing Media
Water spray. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Foam. Dry powder. Cool containers with flooding
quantities of water until well after fire is out.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
Explosion Data
Sensitivity to mechanical impact
Sensitivity to static discharge
None
Yes.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
Flammable. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back.
Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions
Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures
against static discharges. Stop leak if you can do it without risk.
Methods for Containment
A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand
or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers.
Methods for Cleaning Up
Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material. Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later
disposal.
Other Information
Water spray may reduce vapor; but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wear personal
protective equipment. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not breathe vapors or spray mist.
Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of
ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Use only in an area
containing flame proof equipment. To avoid ignition of vapors by static electricity discharge, all
metal parts of the equipment must be grounded.
Storage
Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep in properly labeled containers. Keep away
from heat and sources of ignition.
