Section 4 - First Aid Measures 

Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally 

lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid. 

Skin: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove

contaminated clothing and shoes while washing. Get medical aid if irritation develops or 

persists. 

Ingestion: Get medical aid immediately. Do not induce vomiting. Call a poison control 

center. 

Inhalation: Remove the victim from the exposure area to fresh air immediately. Give 

oxygen if breathing is difficult. Get medical aid. Do not perform mouth-to-mouth 

resuscitation if the victim ingested or inhaled the substance; use a pocket mask equipped 

with a one-way valve or other respiratory medical device which protects the responder. 

Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively. 

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures 

General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in 

pressure-demand mode, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. 

Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam. 

Flash Point: Greater than 150 oC

Autoignition Temperature: Greater than 150 oC
