FIRST AID - SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and water. Get medical attention. Wash skin
with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists. Immediately flush skin
with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing clothing. Get medical attention immediately. Wash clothing separately
before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
FIRST AID - INHALATION: If you experience difficulty in breathing, leave the area to obtain fresh air. If continued difficulty is
experienced, get medical assistance immediately. Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Get immediate medical attention. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
FIRST AID - INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting unless advised by a physician. Call nearest Poison Control Center or Physician
immediately. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2 to 4 cupfuls of water or milk. Call a
physician or poison control center immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Treat symptomatically and
supportively.
5. Fire-fighting Measures
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Alcohol Film Forming Foam, Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Dry Sand, Water Fog
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted. Keep containers tightly closed.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: Containers can rupture and release highly toxic material if exposed to heat. Substance
is non-combustible but reacts with many metals to form explosive hydrogen gas. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers
cool. Containers may explode when heated.
6. Accidental Release Measures
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Avoid runoff into sewers and waterways. Provide ventilation
and approach spill from upwind using proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8. Carefully neutralize spill with
sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3). Dispose of according to local, state (provincial) and federal regulations. Do not incinerate closed
containers. Contain spilled liquid with sand or earth. DO NOT use combustible materials such as sawdust.
7. Handling and Storage
HANDLING: Wash thoroughly after handling. Follow all MSDS/label precautions even after container is emptied because it may
retain product residues. Wash hands before eating. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. Use only with
adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing fumes, vapors, or mist. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
STORAGE: Keep away from heat, sparks, flame and sources of ignition. Store in a dry, well ventilated place. Keep container tightly
closed when not in use.

PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne
levels below recommended exposure limits. Prevent build-up of vapors by opening all doors and windows to achieve cross-
ventilation. Provide general dilution of local exhaust ventilation in volume and pattern to keep TLV of hazardous ingredients below
acceptable limits.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be
followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use.
SKIN PROTECTION: Where contact is likely, wear chemical resistant gloves, a chemical suit, rubber boots and chemical safety
goggles plus a face shield. Use gloves to prevent prolonged skin contact. Use impervious gloves to prevent skin contact and
absorption of this material through the skin. Nitrile or Neoprene gloves may afford adequate skin protection.
EYE PROTECTION: Use safety eyewear designed to protect against splash of liquids.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Refer to safety supervisor or industrial hygienist for further information regarding personal
protective equipment and its application. Refer to safety supervisor or industrial hygienist for further guidance regarding types of
personal protective equipment and their applications.
HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Wash thoroughly with soap and water before eating, drinking or smoking. Remove contaminated clothing
immediately and launder before reuse.
