First Aid Measures

Ingestion
Get medical aid. Wash mouth out with water.
Ingestion
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation
May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Inhalation
Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. Get medical aid.
Inhalation
Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Skin
May cause skin irritation.
Skin
Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists.
Skin
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Eyes
May cause eye irritation.
Eyes
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.

Handling and Storage

Storage
Keep away from heat and flame. Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container.
Handling
Use with adequate ventilation. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Handling
Avoid breathing dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Hazards Identification

Ingestion
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully investigated.
Inhalation
May cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing, sore throat, labored breathing, and chest pain. May be absorbed into the bloodstream with symptoms similar to ingestion.
Skin
Brief contact is not irritating. Prolonged skin contact causes mild to moderate local redness and swelling. Can be absorbed through the skin with prolonged and widespread contact.
Eyes
Causes irritation, redness, and pain.
Ingestion
Large oral doses may cause irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. Ingestion may cause signs of intoxication, such as nausea, headache, incoordination, dizziness, drowsiness, and slurred speech depending on the amount ingested.

Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Personal Protection
Eyes: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166. Skin: Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure. Clothing: Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.
Personal Protection
Skin: Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure. Clothing: Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.
Respirators
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator when necessary.
Exposure Effects
Small, repeated exposures of this material are generally more toxic than single, large exposures. Chronic exposures may produce central nervous system and kidney effects.

Fire Fighting
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Combustible Liquid. Containers may explode when heated. To extinguish fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or alcohol-resistant foam. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.
