| SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES | |
DESCRIPTION OF NECESSARY FIRST AID MEASURES:
EYE CONTACT:
GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. CALL A POISON CENTER OR PHYSICIAN.
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER, OCCASIONALLY LIFTING THE
UPPER AND LOWER EYELIDS. CONTINUE TO RINSE FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES.
CHEMICAL BURNS MUST BE TREATED PROMPTLY BY A PHYSICIAN.
INHALATION:
GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. CALL A POISON CENTER OR PHYSICIAN.
REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR AND KEEP AT REST IN A POSITION COMFORTABLE
FOR BREATHING. IF IT IS SUSPECTED THAT FUMES ARE STILL PRESENT, THE
RESCUER SHOULD WEAR AN APPROPRIATE MASK OR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS. IF NOT BREATHING, IF BREATHING IS IRREGULAR OR IF RESPIRATORY
ARREST OCCURS, PROVIDE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION OR OXYGEN BY TRAINED
PERSONNEL. IT MAY BE DANGEROUS TO THE PERSON PROVIDING AID TO GIVE
MOUTH-TO-MOUTH RESUSCITATION. IF UNCONSCIOUS, PLACE IN RECOVERY
POSITION AND GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
SKIN CONTACT:
GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. CALL A POISON CENTER OR PHYSICIAN.
FLUSH CONTAMINATED SKIN WITH PLENTY OF WATER. WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING
THOROUGHLY WITH WATER BEFORE REMOVING IT, OR WEAR GLOVES. CONTINUE TO
RINSE FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES. CHEMICAL BURNS MUST BE TREATED PROMPTLY BY
A PHYSICIAN. WASH CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE. CLEAN SHOES THOROUGHLY BEFORE
REUSE.
INGESTION:
GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. CALL A POISON CENTER OR PHYSICIAN. WASH
OUT MOUTH WITH WATER. REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR AND KEEP AT REST IN A
POSITION COMFORTABLE FOR BREATHING. IF MATERIAL HAS BEEN SWALLOWED AND THE
EXPOSED PERSON IS CONSCIOUS, GIVE SMALL QUANTITIES OF WATER TO DRINK. STOP
IF THE EXPOSED PERSON FEELS SICK AS VOMITING MAY BE DANGEROUS. DO NOT
INDUCE VOMITING UNLESS DIRECTED TO DO SO BY MEDICAL PERSONNEL. CHEMICAL
BURNS MUST BE TREATED PROMPTLY BY A PHYSICIAN. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY
MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. IF UNCONSCIOUS, PLACE IN RECOVERY POSITION
AND GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

APPROPRIATE RESPIRATOR WHEN VENTILATION IS INADEQUATE. PUT ON APPROPRIATE
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
FOR EMERGENCY RESPONDERS:
IF SPECIALIZED CLOTHING IS REQUIRED TO DEAL WITH THE SPILLAGE, TAKE NOTE
OF ANY INFORMATION IN SECTION 8 ON SUITABLE AND UNSUITABLE MATERIALS. SEE
ALSO THE INFORMATION IN "FOR NONEMERGENCY PERSONNEL".
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:
AVOID DISPERSAL OF SPILLED MATERIAL AND RUNOFF AND CONTACT WITH SOIL,
WATERWAYS, DRAINS AND SEWERS. INFORM THE RELEVANT AUTHORITIES IF THE
PRODUCT HAS CAUSED ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (SEWERS, WATERWAYS, SOIL OR
AIR).
METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEANING UP:
SMALL SPILL:
STOP LEAK IF WITHOUT RISK. MOVE CONTAINERS FROM SPILL AREA. DILUTE WITH
WATER AND MOP UP IF WATER-SOLUBLE. ALTERNATIVELY, OR IF WATER-INSOLUBLE,
ABSORB WITH AN INERT DRY MATERIAL AND PLACE IN AN APPROPRIATE WASTE
DISPOSAL CONTAINER. DISPOSE OF VIA A LICENSED WASTE DISPOSAL CONTRACTOR.
LARGE SPILL:
STOP LEAK IF WITHOUT RISK. MOVE CONTAINERS FROM SPILL AREA. APPROACH
RELEASE FROM UPWIND. PREVENT ENTRY INTO SEWERS, WATER COURSES, BASEMENTS
OR CONFINED AREAS. WASH SPILLAGES INTO AN EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANT OR
PROCEED AS FOLLOWS. CONTAIN AND COLLECT SPILLAGE WITH NON-COMBUSTIBLE,
ABSORBENT MATERIAL E.G. SAND, EARTH, VERMICULITE OR DIATOMACEOUS EARTH
AND PLACE IN CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL ACCORDING TO LOCAL REGULATIONS
(SEE SECTION 13). DISPOSE OF VIA A LICENSED WASTE DISPOSAL CONTRACTOR.
CONTAMINATED ABSORBENT MATERIAL MAY POSE THE SAME HAZARD AS THE SPILLED
PRODUCT.
NOTE:
SEE SECTION 1 FOR EMERGENCY CONTACT INFORMATION AND SECTION 13 FOR WASTE
DISPOSAL.
| SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING:
PROTECTIVE MEASURES:
PUT ON APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (SEE SECTION 8). DO NOT
GET IN EYES OR ON SKIN OR CLOTHING. DO NOT BREATHE VAPOR OR MIST. DO NOT
INGEST. IF DURING NORMAL USE THE MATERIAL PRESENTS A RESPIRATORY HAZARD,
USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION OR WEAR APPROPRIATE RESPIRATOR. KEEP IN
THE ORIGINAL CONTAINER OR AN APPROVED ALTERNATIVE MADE FROM A COMPATIBLE
MATERIAL, KEPT TIGHTLY CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE. KEEP AWAY FROM ACIDS. EMPTY
CONTAINERS RETAIN PRODUCT RESIDUE AND CAN BE HAZARDOUS. DO NOT REUSE
CONTAINER.
ADVICE ON GENERAL OCCUPATIONAL HYGIENE:
EATING, DRINKING AND SMOKING SHOULD BE PROHIBITED IN AREAS WHERE THIS
MATERIAL IS HANDLED, STORED AND PROCESSED. WORKERS SHOULD WASH HANDS AND

PROTECTED FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT IN A DRY, COOL AND WELL-VENTILATED AREA,
AWAY FROM INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS (SEE SECTION 10) AND FOOD AND DRINK.
STORE LOCKED UP. SEPARATE FROM ACIDS. KEEP CONTAINER TIGHTLY CLOSED AND
SEALED UNTIL READY FOR USE. CONTAINERS THAT HAVE BEEN OPENED MUST BE
CAREFULLY RESEALED AND KEPT UPRIGHT TO PREVENT LEAKAGE. DO NOT STORE IN
UNLABELED CONTAINERS. USE APPROPRIATE CONTAINMENT TO AVOID ENVIRONMENTAL
CONTAMINATION.
