Chronic Health Effects
MUTAGENIC EFFECTS : Not available.
TERATOGENIC EFFECTS : Not available.
DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to this compound is not known to aggravate existing medical conditions.
Section IV. 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. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention.
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.
Ingestion INDUCE VOMITING by sticking finger in throat. Lower the head so that the vomit will not reenter the mouth and throat.
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. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL
ATTENTION in case of ingestion of a radioactive material.

Section VI. Accidental Release Measures
Spill Cleanup Irritating material.
Instructions In case of a spill and/or a leak, always shut off any sources of ignition, ventilate the area, and excercise caution. Use a
shovel to put 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 IRRITANT. Keep away from heat. 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 gas/fumes/ vapor/spray.
Information
Always store away from incompatible compounds such as oxidizing agents, acids.
Section VIII. 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 station and safety shower is proximal to the work-station location.
Personal Protection Splash goggles. Lab coat. Vapor respirator. Boots. Gloves. Be sure to use a MSHA/NIOSH approved respirator or
equivalent. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product.
