4. First-aid Measures
FIRST AID - INHALATION: Remove person to fresh air. If signs/symptoms continue, get medical attention.
FIRST AID - SKIN CONTACT: REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH SKIN WITH SOAP AND WATER. IF IRRITATION
PERSISTS OR IF CONTACT HAS BEEN PROLONGED OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION. FLUSH WITH WATER.
FIRST AID - EYE CONTACT: FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER IMMEDIATELY AND REPEATEDLY AND SEEK
PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION.
FIRST AID - INGESTION: Due to possible aspiration into the lungs, DO NOT induce vomiting if ingested. Have the victim drink 8 to
10 ounces (240 - 300 ml) of water to dilute the material in the stomach. If vomiting occurs naturally, have the victim lean forward to
reduce the risk of aspiration. Consult a physician immediately.
5. Fire-fighting Measures
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Container may rupture on heating.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: Use a self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in pressure-
demand or other positive pressure mode. USE WATER SPRAY TO KEEP FIRE EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Foam, Water Fog
6. Accidental Release Measures
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS: No Information
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: ISOLATE HAZARD AREA AND KEEP UNNECESSARY
PEOPLE AWAY. DO NOT ALLOW THE LIQUID TO ENTER INTO ANY SEWERS, ONTO THE GROUND OR INTO ANY BODY OF
WATER. FOR LARGE SPILLS, USE A DIKE AND PUMP INTO APPROPRIATE CONTAINERS. SMALL SPILLS, DILUTE WITH
WATER AND RECOVER OR USE NON-COMBUSTIBLE ABSORBENT MATERIAL AND SHOVEL INTO WASTE CONTAINERS.
