Section 4. First Aid Measures

Eye Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of
water for at least 30 minutes. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops.

Inhalation If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Get medical attention.

Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician
immediately. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.

Medical Conditions Repeated exposure to a highly toxic material may produce general deterioration of health by an
Aggravated by accumulation in one or many human organs.

Fire Fighting Media SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder.
and Instructions LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam. Do not use water jet.
Protective Clothing (Fire) Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.

Section 6. Accidental Release Measures

Small Spill and Leak Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container.
Large Spill and Leak If the product is in its solid form: Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal
container. If the product is in its liquid form: Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in
an appropriate waste disposal.

Section 7. Handling and Storage

Handling Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not ingest. Avoid breathing dust/vapor. Keep container
closed. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact of spilled
material and runoff with soil and surface waterways.
Storage Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.

Section 8. Exposure Controls/ Personal Protection

Engineering Controls Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne
levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use
ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.

Personal Protection
Eyes Safety glasses.
Body Lab coat.
Respiratory Respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Wear appropriate respirator
