| First Aid Measures | Back to Contents | 【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 to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid if cough or other symptoms appear. | 【Skin】
Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. | 【Eyes】

| Handling and Storage | Back to Contents | 【Storage】
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container. | 【Handling】
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well ventilated area. Avoid breathing dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep container tightly closed. |
| Hazards Identification | Back to Contents | 【Ingestion】
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. | 【Inhalation】
May cause respiratory tract irritation. | 【Skin】
Causes mild skin irritation. | 【Eyes】
Causes eye irritation. | 【Hazards】
Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. | 【EC Safety Phrase】

| Fire Fighting Measures | Back to Contents | 【Flash Point】
81 | 【Fire Fighting】
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, 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. Will burn if involved in a fire. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. To extinguish fire use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. | 【Fire Potential】
This chemical is combustible. |
| Accidental Release Measures | Back to Contents | 【Small spills/leaks】
Absorb spill with inert material, (e.g., dry sand or earth), then place into a chemical waste container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately, using the appropriate protective equipment. Remove all sources of ignition. Provide ventilation. |
| Stability and Reactivity | Back to Contents | 【Disposal Code】
1 | 【Stability】
Stable at room temperature in closed containers under normal storage and handling conditions. | 【Incompatibilities】
Strong oxidizing agents - strong acids - strong bases - strong reducing agents. | 【Decomposition】
Carbon monoxide, irritating and toxic fumes and gases, carbon dioxide. | 【Combustion Products】
Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. |
