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 medical attention, if needed. Thoroughly clean and dry contaminated clothing and shoes before reuse. 

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

Contact local poison control center or physician immediately. Never make an unconscious person vomit or drink fluids. When vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to help prevent aspiration. If person is unconscious, turn head to side. Get medical attention immediately. 

For ingestion, consider gastric lavage and activated charcoal slurry. 

See Section 9 for Flammability Properties 

Slight fire hazard. Severe explosion hazard. 

regular dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water, regular foam Large fires: Use regular foam or flood with fine water spray. 

Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. 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. Do not attempt to extinguish fire unless flow of material can be stopped first. Flood with fine water spray. Do not scatter spilled material with high-pressure water streams. Cool containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. Apply water from a protected location or from a safe distance. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas. Water or foam may cause frothing. 

Do not touch spilled material. Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Reduce vapors with water spray. Small spills: Absorb with sand or other non-combustible material. Collect spilled material in appropriate container for disposal. Small dry spills: Move containers away from spill to a safe area. Large spills: Dike for later disposal. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Ventilate closed spaces before entering. 

Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and standards. Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container. Keep separated from incompatible substances. Protect from physical damage. Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition. Keep separated from incompatible substances. 

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 particulate respirator equipped with an N95, R95, or P95 filter (including N95, R95, and P95 filtering facepieces) except quarter-mask respirators. The following filters may also be used: N99, R99, P99, N100, R100 or P100. Any air-purifying full-facepiece respirator equipped with an N95, R95, or P95 filter. The following filters may also be used: N99, R99, P99, N100, R100 or P100. Any powered, air-purifying respirator with a high-efficiency particulate filter. Any powered, air-purifying respirator with a tight-fitting facepiece and a high-efficiency particulate filter. Any supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. 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.

Component Carcinogenicity

None of this product's components are listed by ACGIH, IARC, NTP, DFG or OSHA

2,4-DINITROANILINE: May be irritating Some aromatic nitro compounds may cause methemoglobinemia which may be indicated by cyanosis.

2,4-DINITROANILINE: Reproductive effects have been reported in animals Repeated and prolonged exposure to some aromatic nitro compounds may result in anemia Compounds with cumulative properties may produce a persistent chronic type of methemoglobinemia which is the same as that produced by single large exposures.

2,4-DINITROANILINE: May be irritating Some aromatic nitro compounds are absorbed through the skin to cause methemoglobinemia which may be indicated by cyanosis Sensitization to nitroanilines in previously exposed persons has been reported.

2,4-DINITROANILINE Repeated exposure may result in effects as detailed in chronic inhalation.

2,4-DINITROANILINE: Application of 500 mg to rabbit eyes for 24 hours resulted in mild irritation Some aromatic nitro compounds may possibly cause corneal damage.

2,4-DINITROANILINE No data available.

2,4-DINITROANILINE: The lethal dose reported in rats was 255 mg/kg The symptoms were not reported Some aromatic nitro compounds cause methemoglobinemia, which may be indicated by cyanosis.
