inhalation, eye contact
Remove person to fresh air. If
person is not breathing, ensure an
open airway and provide artificial
respiration. If necessary, provide
additional oxygen once breathing
is restored if trained to do so.
Seek medical attention
immediately.

Aspiration Hazard: DO NOT

INDUCE VOMITING. Do not give
liquids. Obtain immediate medical
attention. If spontaneous vomiting
occurs, lean victim forward to
reduce the risk of aspiration.
Ingestion may cause
gastrointestinal disturbances
including irritation, nausea,
vomiting, and diarrhea, and
central nervous system (brain)
effects similar to alcohol
intoxication. In severe cases,
tremors, convulsions, loss of
consciousness, coma, respiratory
failure, and death.

In case of contact with eyes,

immediately flush with clean,
low-pressure water for at least 15
min. Hold eyelids open to ensure
adequate flushing. Seek medical
attention. In case of contact

Make sure to remove any contact lenses from
the eyes before rinsing. Promptly wash eyes
with plenty of water while lifting the eye lids.
Get medical attention promptly if symptoms
occur after washing.
Immediately rinse mouth. Keep person under
observation. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting
occurs, keep head low. Transport immediately
to hospital and bring along these instructions.
Symptoms/Injuries: Causes skin irritation.
Harmful if inhaled. Suspected of causing cancer.
May cause damage to organs through prolonged
or repeated exposure. May be fatal if swallowed
and enters airways.
Symptoms/Injuries After Inhalation: Inhalation
is likely to cause adverse health effects
including but not limited to: irritation, difficulty
breathing, and unconsciousness.
Symptoms/Injuries After Skin Contact:
Redness, pain, swelling, itching, burning,
dryness, and dermatitis.
Symptoms/Injuries After Eye Contact: May
cause slight irritation to eyes.
Symptoms/Injuries After Ingestion: Aspiration
into the lungs can occur during ingestion or
vomiting and may cause lung injury.
Chronic Symptoms: May cause damage to
organs (thymus, liver; bone marrow) through
prolonged or repeated exposure. Suspected of
causing cancer.
Dry chemical powder, alcohol-resistant foam,
carbon dioxide (CO2).
Combustible liquid.
May form flammable or explosive vapor-air
mixture.
Reacts violently with strong oxidizers. Increased
risk of fire or explosion.
Firefighting activities that may result in
 potential exposure to high heat, smoke or toxic
by-products of combustion should require
NIOSH- approved pressure-demand self-
contained breathing apparatus with full face
piece and protective clothing

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions, Personal Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures:

Use appropriate personal protective equipment to prevent eye/skin contact and
absorption. Use NIOSH approved respiratory protection, if warranted, to prevent
exposures above permissible limits. Contaminated clothing should not be near sources of
ignition.
Section 7: Handling and Storage

Precautions for Safe Handling:

Handle as a flammable liquid. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. No
smoking. Electrical equipment should be approved for classified area. Bond and ground
containers during product transfer pursuant to NFPA 70 and API RP 2003 to reduce the
possibility of static-initiated fire or explosion. Follow precautions to prevent static
initiated fire.

Use good personal hygiene practices. Use only with protective equipment specified in
Section 8. Avoid repeated and/or prolonged skin exposure. Use only outdoors or in well
ventilated areas. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking, or using toilet facilities.
Do not use as a cleaning solvent on the skin. Do not use solvents or harsh abrasive skin
cleaners for washing this product from exposed skin areas. Waterless hand cleaners are
effective. Promptly remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. Use care
when laundering to prevent the formation of flammable vapors which could ignite via
washer or dryer. Consider the need to discard contaminated leather shoes and gloves.
Emergency eye wash capability should be available in the near proximity to operations
presenting a potential splash exposure.

Conditions for Safe Storage including incompatibilities:

Store in tightly closed original container in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep
away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Protect against physical damage
and/or friction. Protect from heat, sparks and flame. Keep in a cool, well ventilated
area. Store away from incompatible materials.

concentrations of this product below
occupational exposure and flammability limits,
particularly in confined spaces. Intrinsically safe
equipment and non-sparking tools shall be used
in circumstances where concentrations may
exceed lower flammable limits. Grounding and
bonding shall be used to prevent accumulation
and discharge of static electricity. Emergency
shower and eyewash should be provided in
proximity to handling areas in the event of
exposure to decontaminate.
For prolonged or repeated skin contact use
suitable protective gloves.
Wear appropriate chemical protective glasses or
goggles or face shields to prevent skin and eye
contact especially caused from splashing.
Wear appropriate personal protective clothing
to prevent skin contact. Gloves constructed of
nitrile, neoprene or PVC are recommended
when handling this material.
Note: The resistance of specific material may
vary from product to product as well as with
degree of exposure.
Use a positive pressure, air-supplied respirator if
there is a potential for uncontrolled release,
exposure levels are not known, in oxygen-
deficient atmospheres, or any other
circumstance where an air-purifying respirator
may not provide adequate protection.
