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 After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. 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.
Inhalation If the victim is not breathing, perform artificial respiration. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If
breathing is difficult, oxygen can be administered. Seek medical attention. Treat symptomatically and supportively.
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, administer artificial respiration.
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 and, if possible,
show the chemical label. Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section VI. Accidental Release Measures
Spill Cleanup Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Mechanical exhaust required. Stop leak if without risk. Finish cleaning the
Instructions 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 gas, fumes, vapor or spray. In case of
Information
insufficient ventilation, 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 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. 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.
