4. FIRST AID MEASURES
FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Move victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration ONLY if breathing has stopped. Give
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if there is no breathing AND no pulse. Obtain medical attention
IMMEDIATELY.
Inhalation:
Start flushing while removing contaminated clothing. Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and
water. If irritation, redness, or a burning sensation develops and persists, repeat flushing and obtain
medical attention.
Skin Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with running water for a minimum of 20 minutes. Hold eyelids open during
flushing. If irritation persists, repeat flushing. Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY.
Eye Contact:
Do not attempt to give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If victim is alert and not
convulsing, rinse mouth out and give 1/2 to 1 glass of water to dilute material. IMMEDIATELY contact
local Poison Control Centre. Vomiting should only be induced under the direction of a physician or a
poison control centre. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, have victim lean forward with head down to
avoid breathing in of vomitus, rinse mouth and administer more water. IMMEDIATELY transport victim
to an emergency facility.
Ingestion:
This product contains materials that may cause severe pneumonitis if aspirated. If ingestion has
occurred less than 2 hours earlier, carry out careful gastric lavage; use endotracheal cuff if available, to
prevent aspiration. Observe patient for respiratory difficulty from aspiration pneumonitis. Give artificial
resuscitation and appropriate chemotherapy if respiration is depressed.
Medical conditions that may be aggravated by exposure to this product include diseases of the skin,
eyes or respiratory tract.
Note to Physicians:
Inhalation is not a likely route of exposure at normally encountered temperatures. Contact with mist or
spray may cause irritation of mucous membranes, coughing and difficulty in breathing. See "Other
Health Effects" Section.
Inhalation:
Brief contact causes irritation (itching, local redness or possible swelling). May cause defatting, drying
and cracking of the skin. Prolonged and repeated contact may lead to dermatitis. Skin contact can
cause irritation, especially under the finger nails (and other confined spaces such as under rings or
watch bands). Prolonged and repeated contact may cause skin necrosis.
Skin Contact:
Prolonged or wide spread skin contact may result in the absorption of potentially harmful amounts of
material.
Skin Absorption:
This product causes irritation, redness and pain.
Eye Contact:
Ingestion is not a likely route of exposure. This product causes irritation, a burning sensation of the
mouth and throat and abdominal pain.
Ingestion:
Effects (irritancy) on the skin and eyes may be delayed, and damage may occur without the sensation
or onset of pain. Strict adherence to first aid measures following any exposure is essential.

FIRE FIGHTING
INSTRUCTIONS
Isolate materials that are not involved in the fire and protect personnel. Cool containers with flooding
quantities of water until well after the fire is out. Spilled material may cause floors and contact surfaces
to become slippery.
Instructions to the Fire Fighters:
Use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Information in this section is for responding to spills, leaks or releases in order to prevent or minimize the adverse effects on persons,
property and the environment. There may be specific reporting requirements associated with spills, leaks or releases, which change from
region to region.
In all cases of leak or spill contact vendor at Emergency Number shown on the front page of this MSDS.
Utilize a spill kit, if available. Wear protective clothing. Recover spilled material on non-combustible
absorbents, such as sand or vermiculite, and place in covered containers for disposal. Use spark-
resistant tools. Collect product for recovery or disposal. For release to land, or storm water runoff,
contain discharge by constructing dykes or applying inert absorbent; for release to water, utilize
damming and/or water diversion to minimize the spread of contamination. Ventilate enclosed spaces.
Notify applicable government authority if release is reportable or could adversely affect the environment.
Containment and Clean-Up
Procedures:
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING
Use normal "good" industrial hygiene and housekeeping practices. Drums which have been exposed to
heat may be under internal pressure. These should be cooled and carefully vented before opening. A
face shield and apron should be worn. Vent container frequently, and more often in warm weather, to
relieve pressure.
Handling Practices:
See Section 8, "Engineering Controls".
Ventilation Requirements:
Use only with adequate ventilation and avoid breathing vapours and aerosols. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin or clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Wash contaminated clothing
thoroughly before re-use.
Other Precautions:
STORAGE
See below.
Storage Temperature (°C):
General exhaust is acceptable. Local exhaust ventilation preferred.
Ventilation Requirements:
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep away from heat, sparks and flames. Keep containers
closed. Do not expose sealed containers to temperatures above 40° C. Protect from direct sunlight.
Protect against physical damage.
Storage Requirements:
Equipment for storage, handling or transport should NOT be made from the following material, or,
where applicable, its alloys: galvanized materials, copper, zinc or aluminum. Confirm suitability of any
material before using.

Packaging or Containers:
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Recommendations listed in this section indicate the type of equipment, which will provide protection against overexposure to this
product. Conditions of use, adequacy of engineering or other control measures, and actual exposures will dictate the need for specific
protective devices at your workplace.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
General exhaust is acceptable. Local exhaust ventilation preferred. Make up air should be supplied to
balance air that is removed by local or general exhaust ventilation. Ventilate low lying areas such as
sumps or pits where dense vapours may collect.
Engineering Controls:
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Safety glasses with side shields are recommended as minimal eye protection. Use full face-shield or
chemical safety goggles when there is potential for contact. Contact lenses should not be worn when
working with this material.

Gloves and protective clothing made from neoprene should be impervious under conditions of use.
Prior to use, user should confirm impermeability. Discard contaminated gloves.
Skin Protection:
No specific guidelines available. A NIOSH/MSHA-approved air-purifying respirator equipped with
organic vapour cartridges for concentrations up to 2 mg/m³. An air-supplied respirator if concentrations
are higher or unknown.
If while wearing a respiratory protection, you can smell, taste or otherwise detect anything unusual, or in
the case of a full facepiece respirator you experience eye irritation, leave the area immediately. Check
to make sure the respirator to face seal is still good. If it is, replace the filter, cartridge or canister. If
the seal is no longer good, you may need a new respirator. (4)
Respiratory Protection:
Wear an impermeable apron and boots. Locate safety shower and eyewash station close to chemical
handling area. Take all precautions to avoid personal contact.
