First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air. Provide artificial respiration if breathing stops. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
Skin Contact: Flush skin thoroughly with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Seek medical assistance for persistent irritation.
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes gently with running water for 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower lids occasionally. Remove contact lenses if present.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek medical attention if symptoms develop.

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, alcohol-resistant foam, water spray
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, possible irritating fumes
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Firefighters need self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), full protective gear
Fire & Explosion Hazards: Liquid can form combustible mixtures with air at elevated temperatures, direct exposure to heat or flame increases risk
Special Procedures: Keep containers cool with water spray, move unaffected containers from fire area if safe

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear goggles, gloves, long sleeves, and use respiratory protection in poorly ventilated areas. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe. Do not allow product to reach drains, waterways, or soil.
Methods for Cleanup: Absorb with inert material (sand, vermiculite), sweep up, and place into suitable, sealed containers. Use non-sparking tools. Clean contaminated area with soap and water.
Additional Information: Dispose of collected material in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.

Handling and Storage

Safe Handling: Use in a well-ventilated area, avoid breathing vapors, keep away from sources of ignition or heat, handle with chemical-resistant gloves and goggles. Avoid splashing.
Storage Requirements: Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Keep away from oxidizing materials, acids, and bases. Protect from direct sunlight.
Specific End Uses: Follow standard practices for laboratory and industrial chemicals, store separate from incompatible substances
Hygiene: Wash hands and any exposed skin thoroughly after handling. Take off contaminated clothing before leaving the workplace
