Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and
lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin: Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid. Do NOT
induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-tomouth
resuscitation.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressuredemand,
MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating
and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Combustible liquid. Vapors may be heavier than air.
They can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. Contact with metals may
evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Do NOT get water inside
containers. For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or water spray. For large fires, use
dry chemical, carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam, or water spray.
Flash Point: 93 deg C ( 199.40 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 550 deg C ( 1,022.00 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:1.70 vol %
Upper: 4.99 vol %
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 2; Instability: 0
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in
suitable container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up
spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Remove all sources
of ignition. Provide ventilation. Do not get water inside containers.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty
containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container
tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use with
adequate ventilation. Wash clothing before reuse. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill,
grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a
tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible
substances. Keep away from acids.
