Section IV.First Aid Measures
Eye ContactCheck for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Get medical attention.
Skin ContactIn case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention.
InhalationIf the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or
waistband. If breathing is difficult, oxygen can be administered. Seek medical attention if respiration problems do not
improve.
IngestionINDUCE VOMITING by sticking finger in throat. Lower the head so that the vomit will not reenter the mouth and throat.
Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues are damaged, a possible indication that the
toxic material was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL
ATTENTION in case of ingestion of a radioactive material.

Section VI.Accidental Release Measures
Spill Cleanup
Flammable material.
In case of a spill and/or a leak, always shut off any sources of ignition, ventilate the area, and excercise caution. Use a
Instructions
shovel to put material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning the spill by rinsing any contaminated
surfaces with copious amounts of water. Consult federal, state and/or local authorities for assistance on disposal.

Section VII. Handling and Storage
Handling and StorageFLAMMABLE. Keep away from heat. Mechanical exhaust required. Avoid excessive heat and light. Do not breathe
gas/fumes/ vapor/spray.
Information
Always store away from incompatible compounds such as oxidizing agents. Reactive with strong oxidizers; may be
ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Closed containers may explode
from heat of a fire. Empty containers may pose a fire risk. Evaporate residue under a fume hood if possible. Ground all
equipment containing material. Handle with caution and minimize exposure. Keep away from heat and sources of
ignition. Tightly seal container and store in a cool, dry place. Use only non-sparking hand tool when handling this
product.

Section VIII. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering ControlsProvide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their
respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash station and safety shower is proximal to the work-station location.
Personal ProtectionSplash goggles. Lab coat. Vapor respirator. Boots. Gloves. Be sure to use a MSHA/NIOSH approved respirator or
equivalent. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product.
