General fire hazards
Rinse with water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
In the unlikely event of swallowing contact a physician or poison control center.
Direct contact with eyes may cause temporary irritation.
Treat symptomatically.
Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to
protect themselves.
Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed.
Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.
Containers should be cooled with water to prevent vapor pressure build up.
Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.
No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted.
6. Accidental release measures

emergency procedures
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
Environmental precautions
Keep unnecessary personnel away. In case of spills, beware of slippery floors and surfaces. Use
personal protection recommended in Section 8 of the SDS.
Large Spills: Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is
possible. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. Scoop up used
absorbent into drums or other appropriate container. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer,
basements or confined areas. Following product recovery, flush area with water.
Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to
remove residual contamination.
Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.
7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Conditions for safe storage,
including any incompatibilities
Obtain special instructions before use. Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Use only
in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation. Avoid contact during pregnancy/while
nursing. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. When using,
do not eat, drink or smoke.
Store in original tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10
of the SDS).
8. Exposure controls/personal protection
Occupational exposure limits
Biological limit values
Appropriate engineering
controls
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
No exposure limits noted for ingredient(s).
No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).
Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates
should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation,
or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If
exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).

considerations
Not applicable.
When using do not smoke. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing
after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work
clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants.
