If adverse effects occur, remove to uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. Get immediate medical attention. 

Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get immediate medical attention. Thoroughly clean and dry contaminated clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes. 

Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Then get immediate medical attention. 

If a large amount is swallowed, get medical attention. 

See Section 9 for Flammability Properties 

May burn, but does not ignite readily. Containers may rupture or explode if exposed to heat. 

The liquid or solution may require some effort to ignite; but once ignited, it will burn with increasing rapidity as the fire progresses. Under prolonged expsoure to fire or heat containers of the material may explode. 

regular dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water, regular foam Large fires: Flood with water. Apply water from a protected location or from a safe distance. 

For fires in cargo or storage area: Cool containers with water from unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles until well after fire is out. If this is impossible then take the following precautions: Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Let the fire burn. 

Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition. Do not touch spilled material. Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Small spills: Absorb with sand or other non-combustible material. Move containers away from spill to a safe area. Large spills: Dike for later disposal. Remove sources of ignition. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. 

Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and standards. 

Component Exposure Limits 

Biological limit value 

Provide local exhaust or process enclosure ventilation system. Ventilation equipment should be explosion-resistant if explosive concentrations of material are present. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure limits. 

Eyes/Face Wear splash resistant safety goggles with a faceshield. Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in the immediate work area. 

Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. 

Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. 

Under conditions of frequent use or heavy exposure, respiratory protection may be needed. Respiratory protection is ranked in order from minimum to maximum. Consider warning properties before use. Any chemical cartridge respirator with organic vapor cartridge(s). Any chemical cartridge respirator with a full facepiece and organic vapor cartridge(s). Any air-purifying respirator with a full facepiece and an organic vapor canister. For Unknown Concentrations or Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health - Any supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination with an auxiliary self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. Any self-contained breathing apparatus that has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. 

May ignite on exposure to air. 

Avoid contact with air. Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition. Avoid contact with incompatible materials. Keep out of water supplies and sewers.
