4. First Aid Measures

INHALATION : Remove victim exposure area to safe area immediately. Perform artificial respiration if 

necessary. Keep person warm and at rest.

Treat symptomatically and supportively. Get medical attention immediately.

SKIN CONTACT : Remove contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Wash with soap or mild 

detergent and large amounts of water until no evidence of chemical remains(at least 15-20 minutes). Get 

medical attention immediately.

EYE CONTACT : Wash eye immediately with large amounts of water or normal saline, occasionally 

lifting upper and lower lids, until no evidence of chemical remains( at least15-20 minutes). Get medical 

attention immediately.

INGESTION : If victim is conscious, immediately give 2 to 4 glasses of water, and induce vomiting by 

touching finger to back of throat. Get medical attention immediately.

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: No specific antidote. Treat symptomatically and supportively.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

Moderate fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Vapor-air mixture are explosive above flash point.

FLASH POINT(°C):98

EXPLOSION LIMIT( vol.%):LEL ; 1.7 UEL ; 20

AUTO IGNITION LIMIT(°C):not determined.

EXTINGUISH MEDIA : Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or regular foam.

FIRE FIGHTING INSTRACTION : Move container from fire area if you can do it without risk. Apply 

cooling water to sides of containers that are exposed to flames until well after fire is out. Stay away from 

ends of tanks. For massive fire in cargo area, use unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles;if this is 

impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn.

Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any discoloration of tank due 

to fire. Isolate for 1/2 mile in all directions if tank, rail car tank truck is involved in fire. Do not extinguish 

unless flow can be stopped. Apply water from as far a distance as possible in flooding quantities as a fog, 

as solid streams may be ineffective.

Keep containers cool with water in flooding quantities. Avoid contaminating water sources and sewers. 

Do not breath vapors; Keep upwind.

HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Thermal decomposition products may include toxic oxides 

of carbon.

6. Accidental Release Measures

OCCUPATIONAL SPILL: Shut off ignition sources. Stop leak if you can do it without risk.

Use water spray to reduce vapors. For small spills, take up with sand or other absorbent material and 

place into containers for later disposal. For larger spills, dike far ahead of spill for later disposal. 

No smoking, flames in hazard area. Keep unnecessary people away;isolate hazard area and restrict 

entry.

7. Handling and Storage

Observe all federal, state and local regulations when storing this substance.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:

VENTILATION: Provide local exhaust or process enclosure ventilation to meet the published exposure 

limits.

EYE/FACE PROTECTION : Employee must wear splash-proof or dust-resistant safety goggles to 

prevent contact with this substance. 

Emergency wash facilities:Where there is any possibility that an Employee’s eyes and/or skin may be 

exposed to this substances, the employer should provide an eye wash fountain and quick drench shower

within the immediate work area for emergency use.

CLOTHING: Employee must wear appropriate protective(impervious)clothing and equipment to 

prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact with this substance.

HAND PROTECTION:Employee must wear impervious gloves.

RESPIRATOR: The following respirators are recommended based on information found in the physical 

data, toxicity and health effects sections. They are ranked in order from minimum to maximum 

respiratory protection.

based on the specific operation, must not exceed the working limits of the respirator and must be jointly 

approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and the Mine Safety and Health 

Administration(NIOSH-MSHA).

Any chemical cartridge respirator with organic vapor cartridge(s) and a full face piece.

Any gas mask with organic vapor canister( chin-style or front- or back-mounted canister), which a full 

face piece.
