Administrative data
First-aid measures
General: Wash clothing before reuse.
Eye contact: Wash with plenty of water.
Skin contact: Wash with plenty of water.
Inhalation: Remove patient to fresh air.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide
Exposure hazards: None known
Combustion products: None known
Protective equipment: Firefighters, and others exposed, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions: Use personal protection recommended in section 8 of the Safety Data Sheet.
Environmental precautions: Keep out of drains and water courses.
Methods for cleaning up: Contain large spills with dikes and transfer the material to appropriate containers for reclamation or
disposal. Absorb remaining material or small spills with an inert material and then place in a chemical waste container. Flush spill area with water.
Handling and storage
Handling: Good industrial practice in housekeeping and personal hygiene should be followed. Avoid breathing vapour or mist.
Engineering measures: Provide natural or mechanical ventilation to control exposure levels below airborne exposure limits. If practical, use local mechanical exhaust ventilation at sources of air contamination such as processing equipment.
Storage: Stable under normal conditions of handling and storage.

Respiratory protection: Avoid breathing vapour or mist. Use approved respiratory protection equipment (e.g. combination filter A/P2) when airborne exposure limits are exceeded. Consult the respirator manufacturer to determine the appropriate type of equipment for a given application. Observe respirator use limitations specified by the manufacturer.
Hand protection: Although this product does not present a significant skin concern, minimize skin contamination by following good industrial practice. Wearing protective gloves is recommended.
Eye protection: Does not cause significant eye irritation or eye toxicity requiring special protection. Use good industrial practice to avoid eye contact.
Skin protection: Although this product does not present a significant skin concern, minimize skin contamination by following good industrial practice. Wash contaminated skin thoroughly after handling.
