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.

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: Evaporation of aqueous component may leave residual material that can burn if ignited. While burning, it will emit toxic fumes including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

Precautions for Fire Fighters and Special Protective Equipment: Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus if there is risk of exposure to vapour or combustion products, as well as structural firefightersu2019 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: Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep containers closed at all times and check regularly for leaks.
