MATERAL SAFETY DATA SHEET

SKIN CONTACT: Wash exposed area with plenty of water. Repeat washing. Remove contaminated clothing and

wash thoroughly before reuse. If irritation persists consult a health care professional.

INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Rinse with copious amounts of water or milk. Irrigate the

esophagus and dilute stomach contents by slowly giving one (1) to two (2) glasses of water or milk.
Avoid giving alcohol or alcohol related products. In cases where the individual is semicomatose,
comatose, or convulsing, DO NOT GIVE FLUIDS BY MOUTH. Take individual to nearest
medical facility.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable extinguishing media: Water fog, carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical.

Extinguishing media not to be used: N/A.

Fire Fighting Procedure: Fire fighters should wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus

(SCBA) in positive pressure mode.
Cool containers with water spray. On small fires, use water spray or fog. On large fires,
use heavy deluge or fog streams. Flooding amounts of water may be required before
extinguishment can be accomplished.

Unusual fire and explosion hazards: None.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: Before responding to a spill or leak of this product, review each section of MSDS.

Follow recommendations given in STORAGE AND HANDLING sections. Check Fire
and Explosion Data to determine if the use of non-sparking tools is merited. Insure that
spilled or leaked product does not come into contact with materials listed as
incompatible. If irritating fumes are present, consider evacuation of enclosed areas.

METHODS FOR CLEANING UP: Initially minimize area affected by spill or leak. Block any potential routes to water

systems (e.g. sewers, streams, lakes, etc.). Based on the product’s toxicological and
chemical properties, and on the size and location of the spill or leak, assess the impact on
contaminated environments (e.g. water systems, ground, air equipment, etc). There are
no methods available to completely eliminate any toxicity this product may have on
aquatic environments. Determine if federal, state and/or local release notification is
required (see Regulatory Classifications section of this MSDS).

STORAGE AND HANDLING

HANDLING: Avoid bodily contact. Do not take internally. Upon contact with skin or eyes, wash off with water.

Eye fountains are recommended. Rubber gloves and safety glasses are required.

STORAGE: Store in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials (see “materials to

avoid”).
