Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, administer artificial respiration. Seek medical attention for symptoms like coughing or dizziness. Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water for at least 15 minutes. Call a doctor if irritation develops. Eye Contact: Flush with water for several minutes, lifting eyelids. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Medical attention advised for persistent pain or redness. Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly. Do not induce vomiting. Drink water to dilute. Get prompt medical help.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or water spray Specific Hazards: Vapors may form explosive mixture with air. Container may rupture from pressure build-up when involved in a fire. Protective Equipment: Firefighters use self-contained breathing apparatus and full gear. Advice for Firefighters: Cool containers with water spray to prevent explosion. Prevent run-off from entering drains or watercourses.
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, ventilate space. Wear appropriate PPE, prevent inhalation and contact. Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways. Notify authorities as required. Methods for Containment: Use inert absorbent materials like sand or earth. Stop leak if safe. Cleanup Procedures: Collect spilled liquid in sealable containers. Wash area with plenty of water. Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
Precautions for Safe Handling: Ground containers when transferring contents. Use in well-ventilated areas. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, clothing. Do not breathe vapors or spray mist. No smoking or open flames nearby. Storage Conditions: Store in original containers tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep away from direct sunlight, heat, spark sources. Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, acids, alkalis. Specific Uses: Only for solvent and industrial cleaning, comply with usage guidelines.
Occupational Exposure Limits: No ACGIH TLV or OSHA PEL established; minimize exposure Engineering Controls: Use mechanical exhaust or general ventilation to keep vapor concentrations low Personal Protective Equipment:
