Ingestion

Immediately rinse mouth with water. If swallowed do not induce vomiting. Give water to drink. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek immediate medical aid immediately.

Eye Contact

Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. Transport to the nearest medical facility for additional treatment. Do not rub eyes or keep eyes closed.

Skin Contact

Remove contaminated clothing. Flush exposed area with water and follow by washing with soap if available.

Inhalation

Remove the affected person to a ventilated area. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Seek medical attention.

Extinguishing Media

Use dry chemical powder, foam, polymer foam, and water spray or fog type extinguishers. Water may be ineffective on fire; however, water spray may be used to extinguish fires and to absorb heat. Keep containers cool and protect exposed material. If a leak or spill has not ignited, water spray may be used to flush spills away from exposures.

Hazards from Combustion Products

Not combustible. However, following evaporation of the aqueous component, residual material can burn if ignited. While burning, it will emit toxic fumes including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

Protective Equipment for Fire Fighters

Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus if risk of exposure to vapour or products of combustion, as well as structural fire fighteru2019s uniform.

Emergency Precautions

Personnel involved in the clean-up should wear full protective clothing. Evacuate all unnecessary personnel. Increase ventilation. Avoid walking through spilled product as it may be slippery. Stop leak if safe to do so. Do not let product reach drains or waterways; advise the Environmental Protection Authority or your local Waste Management. Use clean, non-sparking tools and equipment.

Methods and Materials for Containment and Clean Up

Soak up spilled product using absorbent, non-combustible material such as sand or soil. Avoid using sawdust or cellulose. When saturated, collect material into suitable, labelled, dry, sealable containers and hold for safe disposal. Once pick-up is complete, flush spill site with plenty of water to eliminate any residue. Hold contaminated water for treatment/disposal.

Handling

Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Empty containers retain product and residue (liquid or vapour), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Always wash hands before smoking, eating or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storage or re-use. Do not dispose of material to sewers or waterways.

Storage

Containers must be carefully vented to release the pressure build up. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep containers closed at all times and check regularly for leaks.
