4. FIRST-AID MEASURES (Continued)
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Acute or chronic respiratory conditions, skin disorder, central nervous
system conditions, or disorders involving the “Target Organs” (see Section 11, “Toxicological Information”) may be aggravated by
overexposure to this product.
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION AND SPECIAL TREATMENT NEEDED: Treat symptoms and eliminate overexposure.
Provide oxygen, if necessary. Pulmonary function tests, chest X-rays, and nervous system evaluations may prove useful. The following
are treatment recommendations available for products that contain high levels of solvents.
For basic treatment: Establish a patent airway. Suction if necessary. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilations if necessary. Administer
oxygen by non-rebreather mask at 10 to 15 L/min. Monitor for pulmonary edema and treat if necessary. Monitor for shock and treat if necessary. For eye
contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with normal saline during transport. Do not use emetics. For ingestion,
administer activated charcoal.
For advanced treatment: Consider orotracheal or nasotracheal intubation for airway control in the patient who is unconscious. Positive-pressure ventilation
techniques with a bag-valve-mask device may be beneficial. Monitor cardiac rhythm and treat arrhythmias if necessary. Start an IV with D5W TKO /SRP:
To keep open, "minimal flow rate" Ringer's if signs of hypovolemia are present. Watch for signs of fluid overload. For hypotension with signs of
hypovolemia, administer fluid cautiously. Consider vasopressors if patient is hypotensive with a normal fluid volume. Watch for signs of fluid overload.
Consider drug therapy for pulmonary edema. Use proparacaine hydrochloride to assist eye irrigation.

: 0.6% Upper (UEL): 6.5%
FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
: Fire extinguishing materials that can be used against
fires of this product include carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, or appropriate foam.
Consideration for surrounding materials must be taken into account.
UNSUITABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
: None known.
SPECIAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
: This product is a Class II combustible
liquid; it must be heated to a relatively high temperature before ignition can occur. When
involved in a fire, this material may ignite and produce irritating vapors and toxic gases
(e.g. carbon oxides, aromatic hydrocarbons, reactive hydrocarbons and aldehydes).
This product can float on water and may travel to distant locations and/or spread fire. WARNING! By itself, this product will not
spontaneously combust, but rags and waste soaked in the product can catch fire when the product dries. The drying reaction is
exothermic, and the heat given off in that process can cause the rags, as well as combustible materials such as paper or wood to ignite.
See Section 7 (Handling and Storage) for more information.

Explosion Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact: Not sensitive.
Explosion Sensitivity to Static Discharge
: The vapors of this product may be ignited by static electrical energy.
ADVICE TO FIRE-FIGHTERS: Structural firefighters must wear Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus and full protective equipment.
Chemical resistant clothing may be necessary. Move containers from fire area if it can be done without risk to personnel. Water spray can
be used to cool fire-exposed containers. Water fog or spray can also be used by trained firefighters to disperse this product’s vapors and
to protect personnel. If possible, prevent runoff water from entering storm drains, bodies of water, or other environmentally sensitive
areas. Rinse contaminated equipment thoroughly with soapy water before returning such equipment to service.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: Trained personnel following pre-planned procedures should handle non-incidental releases. In the
event of a spill, clear the area and protect people. The atmosphere must have levels of components lower than those listed in Section 8,
(Exposure Controls and Personal Protective Equipment) if applicable, and have at least 19.5 percent oxygen before personnel can be
allowed into the area without Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). Monitor area and confirm levels are bellow exposure limits
given in Section 8 (Exposure Controls-Personal Protection), if applicable, before non-response personnel are allowed into the spill area.
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
:
Small Spills: Wear rubber gloves, splash goggles, and appropriate body protection.
Large Spills
: Minimum Personal Protective Equipment should be rubber gloves, rubber boots, face shield, and Tyvek suit. Minimum level of personal
protective equipment for releases in which the level of oxygen is less than 19.5% or is unknown must be Level B: triple-gloves (rubber gloves and
nitrile gloves over latex gloves), chemical resistant suit and boots, hard hat, and Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus.
METHODS FOR CLEANUP AND CONTAINMENT: Eliminate all sources of ignition before cleanup begins. Use non-sparking tools.
Small Spills: Wipe up spilled liquid with polypads or other suitable absorbent materials.
Large Spills
: Absorb spilled liquid with clay or other suitable absorbent materials.
All Spills
: Decontaminate the area of the spill thoroughly using detergent and water. WARNING! Rags, paper or other combustible materials soaked in this
product can cause an extreme fire hazard when not disposed of properly. See Section 7 (Handling and Storage) for more information. All contaminated
materials and other spilled material must be placed in sealed containers and disposed of properly. Do not mix with wastes from other materials. If
necessary, discard contaminated response equipment or rinse with soapy water before returning such equipment to service. Dispose of in accordance
with applicable international, national, state, and local procedures (see Section 13, Disposal Considerations). Dispose of recovered material and report spill
per regulatory requirements.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS: Prevent material from entering sewer or confined spaces, waterways, soil or public waters. Do
not flush to sewer. For spills on water, contain, minimize dispersion and collect.
