| Primary Route(s) of Entry | Inhalation, Skin contact, Eye contact |
| Eyes | If material gets into the eyes, immediately flush eyes gently with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids apart. If symptoms develop as a result of vapor exposure, immediately move individual away from exposure and into fresh air before flushing as recommended above. Seek immediate medical attention.. |
| Skin | Immediately flush skin with water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Seek immediate medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse and discard contaminated shoes. |
| Swallowing | Seek immediate medical attention. Do not induce vomiting.Vomiting will cause further damage to the mouth and throat. If individual is conscious and alert, immediately rinse mouth with water and give milk or water drink. If possible, do not leaveindividual unattended |
| Inhalation | If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. Seek immediate medical attention;keep person warm and quiet. If person is not breathing, begin artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. |
| Note to Physicians | Preexisting disorders of the following organs (or organ systems)may be aggravated by exposure to this material: skin, lung (for example, asthma-like conditions). |

| Extinguishing Media | water fog. |
| Fire Fighting Instructions |
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece operated in the positive pressure demand mode with appropriate turn-out gear and chemical resistant personal protective equipment. Refer to the personal protective equipment section of this MSDS. |
| NFPA Rating | Health – 3, Flammability – 0, Reactivity – 0 |
| Small Spill | Cover the contaminated surface with sodium bicarbonate or a soda ash/flaked lime mixture (50-50). Mix and add water if necessary to form a slurry. Scoop up slurry and wash site with soda ash solution. Proper mixing procedures are essential. Trained personnel should conduct this procedure. Untrained personnel should be removed from the spill area. |
| Large Spill | Eliminate all ignition sources (flares, flames including pilot lights, electrical sparks). Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been completed. Stop spill at source. Prevent from entering drains, sewers, streams or other bodies of water. Prevent from spreading. If runoff occurs, notify authorities as required.Pump or vacuum transfer spilled product to clean containers for recovery. Absorb unrecoverable product. Transfer contaminated absorbent, soil and other materials to containers for disposal. |
| Handling | Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since emptied containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or solid), all hazard precautions given in the data sheet must be observed. Addition to water releases heat which can result in violent boiling and spattering. Always add slowly and in small amounts. Never use hot water. Never add water to acids. Always add acids to water. |
| Eye Protection | Chemical splash goggles and face shield (8″ min.) in compliance with OSHA regulations are advised; however, OSHA regulations also permit other type safety glasses. (Consult your industrial hygienist.) |
| Skin Protection | Wear resistant gloves such as: neoprene, polyvinyl chloride, To prevent skin contact, wear impervious clothing and boots.. |
| Respiratory Protections |
If workplace exposure limit(s) of product or any component is exceeded (see exposure guidelines), a NIOSH/MSHA approved air supplied respirator is advised in absence of proper environmental control. OSHA regulations also permit other NIOSH/MSHA respirators (negative pressure type) under specified conditions (see your industrial hygienist). Engineering or administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure. |
| Engineering Controls | Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to maintain exposure below TLV(s). |
