Section 4. First Aid Measures
    Eye Contact        Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water    
    for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention immediately.
    Skin Contact        In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing    
    contaminated clothing and shoes. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Cold water may be used.Wash
    clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention immediately.
    Serious Skin Contact        Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek    
    immediate medical attention.
    Inhalation        If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.    
    Get medical attention.
    Serious Inhalation        Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or    
    waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth
    resuscitation. WARNING: It may be hazardous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth
    resuscitation when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or corrosive. Seek immediate medical attention.
    Ingestion        Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to    
    an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately.
    Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.

Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
    Small Spill        Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste    
    disposal container.
    Large Spill        Combustible material. Corrosive liquid.    
    Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Stop leak if without risk. Absorb with DRY
    earth, sand or other non-combustible material. Do not get water inside container. Do not touch spilled

Section 7. Handling and Storage
    Precautions        Keep container dry. Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Ground all equipment    
    containing material. Do not ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes/ vapor/spray. Never add water to this
    product. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. If ingested, seek medical
    advice immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from
    incompatibles such as oxidizing agents.
    Storage        Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use.    
    Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame).

Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
    Engineering Controls        Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors    
    below their respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal
    to the work-station location.
    Personal Protection        Face shield. Full suit. Vapor respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.    
    Gloves. Boots. Respiratory protection is not necessary for normal handling. Good room ventilation or use
    of local exhaust (fume hood) is sufficient. Use a vapor respirator under conditions where exposure to the
    substance is apparent (e.g. generation of high concentrations of mist or vapor or dust, inadequate
    ventilation, development of respiratory tract irritation), and engineering controls are not feasible. Be sure to
    use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.
    Personal Protection in Case of Splash goggles. Full suit. Vapor respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should
    a Large Spill        be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a    
    specialist BEFORE handling this product.
