Inhalation: Move the affected person away from exposure into fresh air, ensure unobstructed breathing, seek immediate medical attention
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, rinse affected skin area with soap and water for at least 15 minutes; medical assistance required for irritation or burns
Eye Contact: Flush eyes gently with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, hold eyelids open, prompt medical attention necessary
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person, seek medical help right away, do not induce vomiting
Most Important Symptoms: Difficulty breathing, skin redness, severe eye irritation, headache, nausea
Immediate Medical Attention: Consider oxygen for respiratory symptoms, symptomatic treatment as required
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam, alcohol-resistant foam; do not use water jet
Special Hazards Arising: Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air, combustion yields toxic fumes such as nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide
Fire Fighting Instructions: Firefighters need full protective gear, self-contained breathing apparatus, keep containers cool by spraying with water, evacuate area
Specific Hazards: Containers exposed to heat may burst, vapors heavier than air can travel and ignite
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, ventilate confined spaces, use personal protective equipment including respirator, gloves, goggles
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into waterways, drains, soil, contain spill as much as possible
Methods of Cleanup: Absorb spill with inert material (sand, earth, vermiculite), collect in suitable chemical waste container, avoid generating vapors
Reference to Other Sections: Check protective gear requirements and disposal regulations
Decontamination: Wash non-recoverable residues away with copious water, avoid direct discharge
Safe Handling: Work in a chemical fume hood, avoid inhaling vapors or direct contact, keep away from sources of ignition and static discharge, ground and bond containers
Storage Requirements: Store in tightly sealed containers in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas, segregate from acids, oxidizers, strong bases, observe all local and national regulations
Incompatible Materials: Avoid contact with oxidizing agents, acids, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides
Specific Storage Details: Label containers carefully, access only to trained personnel
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) limits; handle as a chemical of moderate hazard level
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, splash guards, safety shower, eyewash
Personal Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), safety goggles or face shield, lab coat, respirator against organic vapors if exposure risk exists
Hygienic Practices: Do not eat, drink, or smoke in work area, always wash hands thoroughly after handling
