First Aid – Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or
persists.
First Aid – Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Get immediate medical attention.
First Aid – Ingestion: Aspiration hazard: Do not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth because this
material can enter the lungs and cause severe lung damage. Get immediate medical attention.
Section 5 – Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point 56 F Lower Explosive Limit 1%
Upper Explosive Limit 10%
Extinguishing Media: Dry Chemical, Foam, Water Fog
Unusual Fire And Explosion Hazards: Isolate from heat, electrical equipment, sparks and open flame.
Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors can travel to a source if ignition and flash back.
Special Firefighting Procedures: Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance. Water may be used to
cool closed containers to prevent pressure buildup and possible autoignition or explosion.
Section 6 – Accidental Release Measures
Steps To Be Taken If Material Is Released Or Spilled: Eliminate all ignition sources; use explosion-proof
equipment. Place material in a container and dispose of according to local, provincial, state, and federal
regulations. Contain spilled liquid with sand or earth. DO NOT use combustible materials such as
sawdust.
Section 7 – Handling And Storage
Handling: Use with adequate ventilation. Wash hands before eating. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Follow all MSDS/label precautions even after container is emptied because it may retain product residues.
Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks, flame and sources of ignition. Keep containers tightly closed.
Isolate from heat, electrical equipment, sparks and open flame. Keep container closed when not in use.
Section 8 – Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Prevent build-up of vapors by opening all doors and windows to achieve cross-
ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control
airborne levels below recommended exposure limits.
Respiratory Protection: A NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator with an organic vapor
cartridge or canister may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are
expected to exceed exposure limits.
Protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if
there is any potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or any other
circumstances where air purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection. A respiratory
