Loosen clothing as necessary and position individual ina comfortable medical breathing is difficult, give oxygenAfter skin contact: Wash affected area with soap and water. Rinse/flush exposed skin gently using water for15-20 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists or if eye contact: Protect unexposed eye. Rinse or flush eye gently with water for at least 15-20 minutes,lifting upper and lower medical attention if irritation persists or if concernedAfter swallowing: Rinse mouth thoroughly.

Toxic by ingestion, absorption through skin and inhalation, potentially causing irreversible to eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Irritation- all routes of be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed. Cannot be made non-poisonous. Maycause gastrointestinal irritation, vomiting, and diarrhea. Central nervous system disorders. Skin disorders,preexisting eye disorders, gastrointestinal tract;Toxic: danger of very serious irreversible effects by inhalation,ingestion or absorption through skin. Experiments have shown reproductive toxicity effects on laboratoryanimals. May cause adverse kidney and liver effectsIndication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:If seeking medical attention, provide SDS document to should treat 5 : Firefighting measuresExtinguishing mediaSuitable extinguishing agents: Dry chemical, foam, dry sand, or Carbon spray can keepcontainers Safety reasons unsuitable extinguishing agents: Water may be hazards arising from the substance or mixture:Risk of ignition.

5 Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flashback. Containers may explode when heatedAdvice for firefighters:Protective equipment: Wear protective eyeware, gloves, and clothing. Refer to Section information (precautions): Remove all sources of ignition. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, adequate precautions against static 6 : Accidental release measuresPersonal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof exhaust ventilation or other engineering controlsto keep the airborne concentrations of vapor and mists below the applicable workplace exposure limits(Occupational Exposure Limits-OELs) indicated adequate precautions:Prevent from reaching drains, sewer or waterway. Should not be released into and material for containment and cleaning up:If necessary use trained response staff or contractor.
