If notbreathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,give oxygen. Get medical aid.Notes to Physician:Treat symptomatically and supportively.Section 5 - Fire Fighting MeasuresGeneral Information:As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus inpressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and fullprotective gear. Dusts at sufficient concentrations can formexplosive mixtures with air. During a fire, irritating and highlytoxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition orcombustion.Extinguishing Media:For small fires, use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide orchemical foam. Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, orappropriate foam.Section 6 - Accidental Release MeasuresGeneral Information:Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.Spills/Leaks:Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in theProtectiveEquipment section. Sweep up, then place into a suitable containerfordisposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.Section 7 - Handling and StorageHandling:Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing andwash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dustgeneration and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, andclothing. Avoid breathing dust.Storage:Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatiblesubstances.Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal ProtectionEngineering Controls:Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equippedwith an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequateventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.Exposure LimitsCAS# 110-15-6:Personal Protective EquipmentEyes:Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemicalsafety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and faceprotection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or EuropeanStandard EN166.Skin:Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skinexposure.Clothing:Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skinexposure.
