SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
4.1 Description of First Aid Measures
Inhalation
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
Ingestion
Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician.
Skin
Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eyes
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least fifteen minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
4.2 Most Important Symptoms and Effects, Both Acute and Delayed
Inhalation
Coughing and shortness of breath.
Ingestion
Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Skin
Redness and pain.
Eyes
Redness, pain, tearing.
4.3 Indication of Any Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment Needed
Unknown/not applicable
SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
5.1 Extinguishing media
Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol-resistant foam, or carbon dioxide.
5.2 Special Hazards Arising from the Substance/Mixture
Hazardous Combustion Products
Thermal decomposition products may include toxic oxides of nitrogen and carbon.
Hazardous Decomposition Products
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and oxides of nitrogen may form when heated to decomposition.
Hazardous Polymerization
Will not occur under normal conditions of use (See Sections 10.4 & 10.5).
5.3 Advice for Firefighters
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
5.4 Further Information
No data available.
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1 Personal Precautions
Wear appropriate protective equipment as specified in Section 8.
6.2 Environmental Precautions
Prevent discharge into the environment. Dike spills and stop leakage where practical. Do not allow material to enter drains.
6.3 Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Sweep up and containerize for reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or wet sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal.
6.4 References to Other Sections
For disposal information see Section 13. For protective clothing and equipment see Section 8.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 Precautions for Safe Handling
Avoid contact and inhalation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.
7.2 Conditions for Safe Storage (including any incompatibles)
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cooled, dry, ventilated area. Protect from physical damage. Isolate from incompatible materials (section 10).
Incompatibles
Strong oxidizers.
7.3 Specific End Uses
Investigational research by professional users
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
8.1 Control Parameters
ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
10 mg/m3
OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):
5 mg/m3
8.2 Exposure Controls
Engineering Controls
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source.
Respiratory Protection
If exposure limits are exceeded, wear a full-face respirator with organic vapor cartridge and high efficiency dust mist filter. Beyond fifty times exposure limits or when exposure levels are not known, wear a full-face piece positive pressure respirator.
Eye Protection
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Skin Protection
Wear protective gloves and clean body covering clothing.
