4. FIRST-AID MEASURES (Continued)
DESCRIPTION OF FIRST AID MEASURES (continued):
Inhalation: If vapors, mists, or sprays of this product are inhaled, remove victim to fresh air. If necessary, use artificial respiration to support vital
functions. Seek medical attention if adverse effect occurs after removal to fresh air.
Ingestion: If this product is swallowed, CALL PHYSICIAN OR POISON CONTROL CENTER FOR MOST CURRENT INFORMATION. DO
NOT INDUCE VOMITING, unless directly by medical personnel. Have victim rinse mouth with water or give several cupfuls of water, if conscious.
Never induce vomiting or give diluents (milk or water) to someone who is unconscious, having convulsions, or unable to swallow. If vomiting
occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration.
IMPORTANT SYMPTOMS AND EFFECTS: See Sections 2 (Hazard Identification) and 11 (Toxicological Information).
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Acute or chronic respiratory conditions, skin disorder, or disorders
involving the “Target Organs” (see Section 11, “Toxicological Information”) may be aggravated by exposure to this product.
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION AND SPECIAL TREATMENT NEEDED: Treat symptoms and eliminate exposure. Provide
oxygen, if necessary. Pulmonary function tests, chest X-rays, and nervous system evaluations may prove useful.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: Not flammable.
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not applicable.
FLAMMABLE LIMITS (in air by volume, %): Not applicable.
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 HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE SUBSTANCE: This product is not
flammable or combustible. When involved in a fire, this product may produce irritating
vapors and toxic gases (e.g. carbon, nitrogen and silicone oxides, phenol, ethylene glycol,
formaldehyde, formic acid, glyoxal, dioxalane and ammonia).
Explosion Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact or Static Discharge: Not sensitive.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE ACTIONS FOR 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 AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES: Uncontrolled releases should be responded to by trained
personnel using pre-planned procedures. Proper protective equipment should be used. Call CHEMTREC (1-800-424-9300) for
emergency assistance. Or if in Canada, call CANUTEC (613-996-6666). The atmosphere must at least 19.5 percent Oxygen before non-
emergency personnel can be allowed in the area without Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus and fire protection.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Proper protective equipment should be used.
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 CLEAN-UP AND CONTAINMENT:
Small Spills: Carefully absorb spill using polypads or other non-reactive absorbent appropriate for basic compounds. Place spilled material in
appropriate container for disposal, sealing tightly. Remove all residue before decontamination of spill area.
Large Spills: Access to the spill area should be restricted. For large spills, dike or otherwise contain spill and absorb spill with polypads or other
non-reactive absorbent material appropriate for basic compounds.
All Spills: Place all spill residue in a double plastic bag or other containment and seal. Decontaminate the area thoroughly. Do not mix with wastes
from other materials. If appropriate, neutralize spill area with material appropriate for basic compounds (e.g. citric acid). Dispose of in accordance
with applicable Federal, State, and local procedures (see Section 13, Disposal Considerations). For spills on water, contain, minimize dispersion and
collect. Dispose of recovered material and report spill per regulatory requirements.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS: Avoid release to the environment. Run-off water may be contaminated by other materials and
should be contained to prevent possible environmental damage.
REFERENCE TO OTHER SECTIONS: See information in Section 8 (Exposure Controls – Personal Protection) and Section 13
(Disposal Considerations) for additional information.
