See Toxicological Information (Section11)

Potential environmental effects

See Ecological Information (Section 12)


Section 4: First Aid Measures
If accidental overexposure is suspected

Eye(s): Contact: In case of contact with eyes, flush with copious amount of water for at least15 minutes. Assure adequate flushing by separating the eyelids with fingers. Call a physician.

Skin Contact: In case of skin contact, flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If breathing becomes difficult, call a physician.

Ingestion: If swallowed, wash out mouth with water provided person is conscious. Call a physician.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Wear respirator, chemical safety goggles, rubber boots, and heavy rubber gloves. Cover with dry lime or soda ash, pick up, keep in a closed container, and hold for waste disposal. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is complete.
Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose of waste according to Federal, State and Local Regulations.


Section 7: Handling and Storage
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage: User exposure: Do not breathe vapor. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep tightly closed.

Storage temperature: Ambient temperature.

Storage Pressure: NA


Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls

Ventilation required: Good general ventilation should be sufficient for most conditions. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.

Personal Protection Equipment

Respiratory protection: No respiratory protection should be needed

Protective gloves: Wear chemical-resistant gloves.
Skin protection: Wear protective clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Eye protection: Wear safety goggles.
Additional clothing and/or equipment: NIF
