Section 5:
First-Aid Measures
Oral Exposure:
If swallowed, wash out mouth with water provided person is conscious. Call a physician.
Inhalation Exposure:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing
becomes difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
Dermal Exposure:
In case of skin contact, immediately wash skin with soap and copious amounts of water.
Call a physician.
Eye Exposure:
In case of contact with eyes, flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes.
Assure adequate flushing by separating the eyelids with fingers. Call a physician.

Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point:
122 °F
50 °C
Method: closed cup
Autoignition Temperature:
NA
Extinguishing Media:
Suitable: For small (incipient) fires, use media such as "alcohol" foam, dry chemical, or
carbon dioxide. For large fires, apply water from as far as possible. Use very large
quantities (flooding) of water applied as a mist or spray; solid streams of water may be
ineffective. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water.
Firefighting:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with
skin and eyes. Combustible liquid. Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions.
Exposure Hazard(s):
NA
Section 7:
Accidental Release Measures
Procedure to be Followed in Case of Leak or Spill:
Evacuate area.
Procedure(s) of Personal Precaution(s):
Wear respirator, chemical safety goggles, rubber boots, and heavy rubber gloves.
Methods for Cleaning Up:
Cover with dry-lime, sand, or soda ash. Place in covered containers using non-sparking
tools and transport outdoors. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is
complete.
Section 8:
Handling and Storage
Handling:
Avoid breathing vapor. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Avoid prolonged or
repeated exposure.
Storage:
+4 °C. Keep tightly closed in a dry place away from heat and open flame.
Special Requirements:
NA
Section 9:
Exposure controls and Personal Protection
Engineering Controls:
Safety shower and eye bath. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Personal Protection Equipment:
Respiratory – Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate
government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU). Where risk assessment shows
air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with multi-purpose
combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to
engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face
supplied air respirator.
Hand – Compatible chemical-resistant gloves.
Eye – Chemical safety goggles.
General Hygiene Measures:
Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Wash thoroughly after handling.
