Section IV. First Aid Measures
Eye Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. IMMEDIATELY flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping
eyelids open. COLD water may be used. 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. COLD water may be used. 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 artificial respiration. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If
Inhalation
breathing is difficult, oxygen can be administered. Seek medical attention. Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Ingestion Remove dentures if any. Have conscious person drink several glasses of water or milk. INDUCE VOMITING by sticking
finger in throat. Lower the head so that the vomit will not reenter the mouth and throat. NEVER give an unconscious
person anything to ingest. Seek medical attention. Treat symptomatically and supportively.

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
Instructions shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning the spill by rinsing any
contaminated 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,
Information
wear 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.
