Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration; if by mouth to mouth
use rescuer protection (pocket mask, etc). If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by
qualified personnel. Call a physician or transport to a medical facility.
Skin contact: Immediate continued and thorough washing in flowing water for at least 30 minutes is
imperative while removing contaminated clothing. Prompt medical consultation is essential. Wash
clothing before reuse. Properly dispose of leather items such as shoes, belts, and watchbands.
Discard items which cannot be decontaminated, including leather articles such as shoes, belts and
watchbands. Suitable emergency safety shower facility should be immediately available.

Version: 13.0
Eye contact: Wash immediately and continuously with flowing water for at least 30 minutes. Remove
contact lenses after the first 5 minutes and continue washing. Obtain prompt medical consultation,
preferably from an ophthalmologist. Suitable emergency eye wash facility should be immediately
available.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Give one cup (8 ounces or 240 ml) of water or milk if available and
transport to a medical facility. Do not give anything by mouth unless the person is fully conscious.
4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: Aside from the information
found under Description of first aid measures (above) and Indication of immediate medical attention
and special treatment needed (below), any additional important symptoms and effects are described in
Section 11: Toxicology Information.
4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Notes to physician: Maintain adequate ventilation and oxygenation of the patient. Chemical eye
burns may require extended irrigation. Obtain prompt consultation, preferably from an
ophthalmologist. If burn is present, treat as any thermal burn, after decontamination. Due to irritant
properties, swallowing may result in burns/ulceration of mouth, stomach and lower gastrointestinal
tract with subsequent stricture. Aspiration of vomitus may cause lung injury. Suggest
endotracheal/esophageal control if lavage is done. No specific antidote. Treatment of exposure
should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Container may rupture from gas generation in a fire situation.
Violent steam generation or eruption may occur upon application of direct water stream to hot liquids.

boots, and gloves). Avoid contact with this material during fire fighting operations. If contact is likely,
change to full chemical resistant fire fighting clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus. If this is
not available, wear full chemical resistant clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus and fight
fire from a remote location. For protective equipment in post-fire or non-fire clean-up situations, refer
to the relevant sections.
6.2 Environmental precautions: Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or
groundwater. See Section 12, Ecological Information.
6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Contain spilled material if possible.
Collect in suitable and properly labeled containers. Absorb with materials such as: Sand. Avoid
contact with absorbent materials such as: Ground corn cobs. Moist organic absorbents. Peat moss.
Sawdust. See Section 13, Disposal Considerations, for additional information.
6.4 Reference to other sections: References to other sections, if applicable, have been provided in
the previous sub-sections.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid
contact with metals such as: Brass. Bronze. Copper. Copper alloys.

10.4 Conditions to avoid: Exposure to elevated temperatures can cause product to decompose.
Generation of gas during decomposition can cause pressure in closed systems. Reaction with carbon
dioxide may form an amine carbamate. Smoke may be generated depending on vapor pressure of
mixture. Product absorbs carbon dioxide from the air.
10.5 Incompatible materials: Avoid contact with oxidizing materials. Avoid contact with: Acids.
Acrylates. Alcohols. Aldehydes. Halogenated hydrocarbons. Ketones. Nitrites. Avoid contact with
metals such as: Brass. Bronze. Copper. Copper alloys. Avoid contact with absorbent materials
such as: Ground corn cobs. Moist organic absorbents. Peat moss. Sawdust.
10.6 Hazardous decomposition products: Decomposition products depend upon temperature, air
supply and the presence of other materials. Decomposition products can include and are not limited
to: Ammonia. Ethylenediamine. Volatile amines.
Skin corrosion/irritation
Brief contact may cause severe skin burns. Symptoms may include pain, severe local redness and
tissue damage.
