4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Flush with large amounts of water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
SKIN: Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. If irritation persists seek medical
attention.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting, do not administer liquids. Obtain medical assistance.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, apply artificial respiration and administer oxygen. If
symptoms persist, obtain medical assistance.
NOTE TO PHYSICIANS: Treatment of overexposure should be directed toward the control of symptoms and
clinical condition.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES: Flash point > N/A
FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR: LEL: Not established UEL: Not established
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water spray, foam or carbon dioxide
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
Not determined since product does not support combustion unless all of the water is evaporated.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
Intense heat will vaporize water and may increase pressure in drum to point of rupture.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Wear protective equipment (Section 8); stop leak at source; dike area; prevent material from entering waterway;
prevent contact with strong oxidizers and reducers (See Section 7); pump material to reclaim container; use vacuum
to recover material or use absorbents on remaining material; and shovel into disposal container.
Because product uses, mixtures, processes or contamination may render this material hazardous, it is the
responsibility of the suer/owner of the product to determine at the time of disposal, whether the product meets RCRA
criteria for hazardous waste. Dispose of this material and empty containers, liners and rinsate according to current
local, state and federal regulations.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Do not wear contaminated clothing. Wash prior to eating, drinking, smoking, or use of
restroom and when leaving work. Do not dispose of material or empty container to the
environment.
