`Specific methods
`
`Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if
`present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
`Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water.
`Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing separately before reuse.
`Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes. If high pressure injection under the skin occurs,
`always seek medical attention.
`Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
`Get medical attention.
`Rinse mouth thoroughly. Do not induce vomiting without advice from poison control center. Do not
`give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach content
`does not get into the lungs. Get medical attention immediately.
`In case of shortness of breath, give oxygen. Keep victim warm. Keep victim under observation.
`Symptoms may be delayed.
`If exposed or concerned: get medical attention/advice. Ensure that medical personnel are aware
`of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Show this safety data
`sheet to the doctor in attendance. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
`
`Flammable by OSHA criteria. Containers may explode when heated.
`
`Water spray. Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
`
`Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
`
`Vapor may cause flash fire. Vapors can flow along surfaces to distant ignition source and flash
`back. Sensitive to static discharge.
`Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained positive pressure or pressure
`demand breathing apparatus, protective clothing and face mask.
`Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained positive pressure or pressure
`demand breathing apparatus, protective clothing and face mask. Withdraw immediately in case of
`rising sound from venting safety devices or any discoloration of tanks due to fire. Fight fire from
`maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Move containers from fire
`area if you can do it without risk. In the event of fire, cool tanks with water spray. Cool containers
`exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. For massive fire, use unmanned hose
`holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. Vapors may
`form explosive air mixtures even at room temperature. Prevent buildup of vapors or gases to
`explosive concentrations. Some of these materials, if spilled, may evaporate leaving a flammable
`residue. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Use compatible foam to minimize vapor
`generation as needed.
`In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Use water spray to cool unopened
`containers.

`6. Accidental Release Measures
`Personal precautions
`Keep unnecessary personnel away. Local authorities should be advised if significant spills cannot
`be contained. Keep upwind. Keep out of low areas. Ventilate closed spaces before entering. Do
`not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.
`See Section 8 of the MSDS for Personal Protective Equipment.

`
`

`

`If facility or operation has an "oil or hazardous substance contingency plan", activate its
`procedures. Stay upwind and away from spill. Wear appropriate protective equipment including
`respiratory protection as conditions warrant. Do not enter or stay in area unless monitoring
`indicates that it is safe to do so. Isolate hazard area and restrict entry to emergency crew.
`Flammable. Review Fire Fighting Measures, Section 5, before proceeding with clean up. Keep all
`sources of ignition (flames , smoking, flares, etc.) and hot surfaces away from release. Contain
`spill in smallest possible area. Recover as much product as possible (e.g. by vacuuming). Stop
`leak if it can be done without risk. Use water spray to disperse vapors. Spilled material may be
`absorbed by an appropriate absorbent, and then handled in accordance with environmental
`regulations. Prevent spilled material from entering sewers, storm drains, other unauthorized
`treatment or drainage systems and natural waterways. Contact fire authorities and appropriate
`federal, state and local agencies. If spill of any amount is made into or upon navigable waters, the
`contiguous zone, or adjoining shorelines, contact the National Response Center at
`1-800-424-8802. For highway or railways spills, contact Chemtrec at 1-800-424-9300.
`Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Stop leak
`if you can do so without risk. This material is a water pollutant and should be prevented from
`contaminating soil or from entering sewage and drainage systems and bodies of water. Dike the
`spilled material, where this is possible. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or
`confined areas.
`Use non-sparking tools and explosion-proof equipment.
`
`Small Spills: Absorb spill with vermiculite or other inert material, then place in a container for
`chemical waste. Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination. This material and its
`container must be disposed of as hazardous waste.
`
`Large Spills: Use a non-combustible material like vermiculite, sand or earth to soak up the product
`and place into a container for later disposal. Prevent product from entering drains. Do not allow
`material to contaminate ground water system. Should not be released into the environment.
`Clean up in accordance with all applicable regulations.

`7. Handling and Storage
`Handling
`
`Storage
`
`Wear personal protective equipment. Do not breathe gas/fumes/vapor/spray. Avoid contact with
`eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not taste or swallow. Avoid prolonged exposure. Use only with
`adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. The product is extremely flammable, and
`explosive vapor/air mixtures may be formed even at normal room temperatures. DO NOT handle,
`store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of ignition. Protect material from
`direct sunlight. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. All equipment used when
`handling the product must be grounded. Use non-sparking tools and explosion-proof equipment.
`When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Avoid release to the environment.
`Flammable liquid storage. Do not handle or store near an open flame, heat or other sources of
`ignition. This material can accumulate static charge which may cause spark and become an
`ignition source. The pressure in sealed containers can increase under the influence of heat. Keep
`container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep away from food, drink and animal
`feedingstuffs. Keep out of the reach of children.

`handling large volumes or in emergency situations. Flame retardant protective clothing is
`recommended.
`Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved standard if a
`risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or
`anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected
`respirator. If workplace exposure limits for product or components are exceeded, NIOSH
`approved equipment should be worn. Proper respirator selection should be determined by
`adequately trained personnel, based on the contaminants, the degree of potential exposure and
`published respiratory protection factors. This equipment should be available for nonroutine and
`emergency use.
`Consult supervisor for special handling instructions. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid contact with
`skin. Keep away from food and drink. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling
`the product. Provide eyewash station and safety shower. Handle in accordance with good
