If adverse effects occur, remove to uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel. 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. 

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 inhalation, consider oxygen. For ingestion, consider gastric lavage. 

See Section 9 for Flammability Properties 

Severe fire hazard. Dust/air mixtures may ignite or explode. Organic peroxide. Flammable. Burns faster as the fire progresses. May ignite or explode on contact with combustible materials. Containers may rupture or explode if exposed to heat. 

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

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. For tank, rail car or tank truck, evacuation radius: 800 meters (1/2 mile). 

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. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Move containers away from spill to a safe area. Large spills: Wet down area with water. 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. Store in a tightly closed container. Keep in the dark. Keep separated from incompatible substances. 

Component Exposure Limits 

Biological limit value 

Based on available information, additional ventilation is not required. 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 air-purifying half-mask respirator equipped with organic vapor cartridge(s) in combination with an N95, R95, or P95 filter. The following filters may also be used: N99, R99, P99, N100, R100 or P100. Any air-purifying full-facepiece respirator (gas mask) with a chin-style, front-mounted or back-mounted organic vapor canister having an N100, R100, or P100 filter. Any powered, air-purifying respirator with a tight-fitting facepiece, organic vapor cartridge(s) and high-efficiency particulate filter(s). 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.
