Section IV. First Aid Measures
Eye Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. DO NOT use an eye ointment. Flush eyes with running water for a minimum of 15
minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Seek medical attention. Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Skin Contact If the chemical gets spilled on a clothed portion of the body, remove the contaminated clothes as quickly as possible,
protecting your own hands and body. Place the victim under a deluge shower. If the chemical touches the victim's exposed
skin, such as the hands: Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with running water and non-abrasive soap. Be
particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Seek medical
attention. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Wash any contaminated clothing before reusing.
If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or
Inhalation
waistband. If breathing is difficult, oxygen can be administered. Seek medical attention if respiration problems do not
improve.
INDUCE VOMITING by sticking finger in throat. Lower the head so that the vomit will not reenter the mouth and throat.
Ingestion
Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues are damaged, a possible indication that the toxic
material was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive.

Section VI. Accidental Release Measures
Spill Cleanup In case of a spill and/or a leak, always shut off any sources of ignition, ventilate the area, and exercise caution. Use a
shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning the spill by rinsing any contaminated
Instructions
surfaces with copious amounts of water. Consult federal, state, and/or local authorities for assistance on disposal.
Section VII. Handling and Storage
Handling and Storage Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Mechanical exhaust required. When not in use, tightly seal the container and
store in a dry, cool place. Avoid excessive heat and light. DO NOT breathe dust. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear
Information
suitable respiratory equipment. If you feel unwell, seek medical attention and show the label when possible. Treat
symptomatically and supportively. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Always store away from incompatible compounds such as oxidizing agents.
Section VIII. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended
exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants
below the exposure limit.
Personal Protection Splash goggles. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A MSHA/NIOSH approved respirator must be used to avoid
inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this
product.
