First Aid Measures

Ingestion
If swallowed, wash mouth out with water, provided that the person is conscious. Get medical assistance.
Inhalation
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Skin
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Eyes
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.

Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Personal Protection
Wear protective gloves and clothing and safety goggles.
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.

Fire Fighting Measures

Fire Fighting
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Use water, carbon dioxide, dry chemical poweder or appropriate foam to fight fire.
Fire Potential
Self-decomposition or self-ignition may be triggered by heat, chemical reaction, friction or impact. Self-accelerating decomposition may occur if the specific control temperature is not maintained.

Accidental Release Measures

Small spills/leaks
ELIMINATE ignition sources and prevent all contact with the material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Take up with inert, damp, noncombustible material using clean non-sparking tools and place into loosely covered plastic containers for later disposal. Contact specialist for clean-up or disposal instructions.

Stability and Reactivity

Incompatibilities
Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
Stability
Stable at normal temperatures and pressure.
Combustion Products
May produce irritating, toxic and/or corrosive gases.
