4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation: If symptoms of exposure develop, remove to fresh air. If breathing becomes difficult, administer
oxygen. If breathing has stopped, administer artificial respiration. Get medical attention if you feel unwell, or
symptoms appear and persist.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. Wash exposed skin with soap and water
for several minutes. If skin irritation or redness develops, get medical attention.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with large amounts of water for several minutes. If irritation or other symptoms persist,
get medical attention.
Ingestion: DO NOT induce vomiting. If the victim is fully conscious, have them rinse their mouth with water. Get
medical assistance by calling a doctor or poison center. Never give anything by mouth to a person who is
unconscious or drowsy.
Most Important Symptoms: Skin irritant. May cause mild eye irritation. Harmful by inhalation. Inhalation of mists
or vapors may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract; and central nervous systems effects such as dizziness,
drowsiness, headache and nausea. Aspiration hazard – may enter the lungs during swallowing or vomiting and
cause serious lung damage, which may be fatal. Ingestion may also cause gastrointestinal effects such as nausea,
vomiting and diarrhea and central nervous system effects. May cause damage to blood, thymus, liver, spleen, bone
marrow, central nervous system, and kidneys through prolonged or repeated exposure. Repeated inhalation
exposure causes lung damage. Contains toluene which is suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child.
Contains benzene that may cause cancer, and may cause genetic defects. The risk of cancer depends on the level
and duration of exposure.
Indication of Immediate Medical Attention/Special Treatment: Immediate medical treatment is required for
ingestions which may result in an aspiration hazard. Material may enter the lungs during swallowing or vomiting and
cause serious lung damage, which may be fatal.
5. Firefighting Measures
Suitable (and Unsuitable) Extinguishing Media: Use water fog, foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical. Cool fire
exposed containers with water.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical: Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors may accumulate in confined
areas and present a fire of explosion hazard. Vapors may be heavier than air and travel along surfaces to remote
ignition sources and flash back. Closed containers may rupture if exposed to extreme heat. Burning may produce
carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and oxides of nitrogen.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Firefighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus
and full protective clothing for fires in areas where chemicals are used or stored.
