Eye Contact: Rinse carefully with water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Monitor for signs of irritation, seek medical advice right away.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, rinse skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation develops or persists, get medical attention.
Inhalation: Move victim to fresh air. Support breathing as needed. Seek immediate medical attention for any signs of respiratory distress.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Do not induce vomiting unless advised by medical personnel. Get medical help quickly.
Most Important Symptoms: Burning, irritation of eyes and mucous membranes, drowsiness, nausea, headache, dizziness
Advice for Rescuers: Use appropriate personal protective equipment. Do not leave affected individuals unattended.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, water spray (do not use a direct water jet)
Specific Hazards: Forms flammable mixtures with air. Thermal decomposition produces toxic vapors including oxides of nitrogen and carbon monoxide.
Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective gear
Firefighting Instructions: Evacuate area. Cool containers exposed to fire with water spray. Take action from a safe distance.
Explosion Risk: Vapors can travel to ignition source and flash back. Containers may rupture under heat.
Personal Precautions: Wear gloves, safety goggles, and respirator. Remove all ignition sources. Ventilate area.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent leakage into drains, watercourses, or soil. Notify authorities if major spill contaminates environment.
Containment Methods: Dike and contain spill with inert material (sand, earth).
Clean-Up Procedures: Collect with non-sparking tools. Absorb with appropriate inert material. Transfer to labeled waste containers for disposal.
Additional Notes: Wash area with water after removal. Check local regulations for approved disposal methods.
Handling: Avoid breathing vapors. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Use only in well-ventilated spaces. Ground and bond containers when transferring.

Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong oxidizers, halogens
Storage Class: Flammable liquids. Keep away from substances that may react violently
Special Provisions: Store away from food or feed. Maintain proper labeling on containers.
Occupational Exposure Limits: Check national regulations. ACGIH TLV (TWA): 5 ppm
Engineering Controls: Mechanical exhaust ventilation, local fume extraction, explosion-proof equipment
Personal Protective Equipment: Nitrile gloves, chemical splash goggles, flame-resistant clothing, suitable respirator (NIOSH approved for organic vapor, as needed)
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after use, take off contaminated clothing, launder before reuse.
Environmental Controls: Prevent vapor and spillage from reaching sewers, waterways, or soil.
