Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Call a physician if any difficulties persist.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with a large amount of water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately if any irritation persists.
After first aid, get appropriate in-plant, paramedic or community medical support.
Skin Contact: Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if any irritation
persists.
Ingestion: If swallowed, give 2 glasses of water to drink. DO NOT induce vomiting. After first aid, seek appropriate in-plant,
paramedic, or community medical support. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
After first aid, get appropriate in-plant, paramedic, or community medical support.

Section 5 - Fire-Fighting Measures
Flash Point: Non-Flammable
Flash Point Method: Not applicable
Burning Rate: Not applicable
Autoignition Temperature: Does not burn.
LEL:
UEL:
Flammability Classification: Non Flammable
Extinguishing Media: Water fog, Alcohol foam, Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical
Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: None known other than material can splatter above 100oC/212oF.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Unknown but carbon monoxide may be released on burning.
Fire-Fighting Instructions: Do not release runoff from fire control methods to sewers or waterways.
Fire-Fighting Equipment: Because fire may produce toxic thermal decomposition products, wear a self-
contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face piece operated in pressure-demand or positive-pressure mode.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Spill/Leak Procedures:
Small Spills: Absorb spill with paper towel or similar absorbent; or flush to sewer or ground with large amounts of water.
Large Spills:
Containment: For large spills, dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Do not release into sewers or
waterways. Absorb spill with vermiculite, oil dry or similar non-reactant absorbent.
Cleanup: Accumulate the absorbed materials and dispose of according to federal, state and local regulations.
Regulatory Requirements: Follow applicable OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1910.120)

Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling Precautions: Use the recommended safety controls and personal protective equipment as outlined. Fully review all data
before handling of the material itself. Avoid contact with skin or eyes. Avoid breathing dust or mist. Keep from contact with clothing
and other combustible materials. Observe good personal hygiene and housekeeping practices.
Storage Requirements: Do not store this material near any strong acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables or any other type of reactive
material. Do not expose the material to temperature extremes.
Regulatory Requirements: Store materials according to all local, state and federal guidelines which are established for nonregulated chemical products.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls:
Ventilation: Provide general or local exhaust ventilation systems to maintain airborne concentrations below OSHA PELs (Sec. 2).
Local exhaust ventilation is preferred because it prevents contaminant dispersion into the work area by controlling it at its source.
Administrative Controls:
Respiratory Protection: Seek professional advice prior to respirator selection and use. Follow OSHA respirator regulations (29
CFR 1910.134) and, if necessary, wear a MSHA/NIOSH-approved respirator. Select respirator based on its suitability to provide
adequate worker protection for given working conditions, level of airborne contamination, and presence of sufficient oxygen. For
emergency or nonroutine operations (cleaning spills, reactor vessel, or storage tanks), wear an SCBA. Warning! Air-purifying
respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres. If respirators are used, OSHA requires a written respiratory
protection program that includes at least: medical certification, training, fit-testing, periodic environmental monitoring, maintenance,
inspection, cleaning, and convenient, sanitary storage areas.
Protective Clothing/Equipment: Wear chemically protective gloves, boots, aprons, and gauntlets to prevent prolonged or repeated
skin contact. Wear protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles, per OSHA eye-and face-protection regulations (29 CFR
1910.133). Contact lenses are not eye protective devices. Appropriate eye protection must be worn instead of, or in conjunction with
contact lenses.
Safety Stations: Make emergency eyewash stations, safety/quick-drench showers, and washing facilities available in work area.
Contaminated Equipment: Separate contaminated work clothes from street clothes. Launder before reuse. Remove this material
from your shoes and clean personal protective equipment.
Comments: Never eat, drink, or smoke in work areas. Practice good personal hygiene after using this material, especially before
eating,drinking, smoking, using the toilet, or applying cosmetics.
