See Ecological Information (Section 12)


Section 4: First Aid Measures
If accidental overexposure is suspected

Eye(s) Contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. WARM water MUST be used. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention.

Skin Contact: After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. WARM water MUST be used. Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with running water and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices,

creases and groin. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Serious Skin Contact: Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek medical attention.

Inhalation: Allow the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Small spill: Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements. Large spill: Wear splash goggles, full suit, boots, and gloves. Suggested protective clothing may not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product. Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow evacuating through the sanitary system.
Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose of waste according to Federal, State and Local Regulations.


Section 7: Handling and Storage
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage: Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty containers pose a fire risk. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes vapor/spray. Wear suitable protective clothing. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.  Keep container dry. Keep in a cool place. Ground all equipment containing material. Keep container tightly closed. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place. Combustible materials should be stored away from extreme heat and away from strong oxidizing agents.

Storage temperature: Room temperature.

Storage Pressure: NA


Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls

Ventilation required: Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their respective threshold limit value.

Personal Protection Equipment
