INGESTION:

FIRST AID IS NORMALLY NOT REQUIRED.

EYES:

IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES.  GET PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION.

INHALATION:

USING PROPER RESPIRATORY PROTECTION, IMMEDIATELY REMOVE THE AFFECTED VICTIM FROM EXPOSURE.  ADMINISTER ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION IF BREATHING IS STOPPED.  KEEP AT REST.  CALL FOR PROMT MEDICAL ATTENTION.

SKIN:

IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER, USE SOAP IF AVAILABLE.  REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING, INCLUDING SHOES, AFTER FLUSHING HAS BEGUN.

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE LARGE AMOUNTS ARE RELEASED:

Eliminate sources of ignition.  Prevent additional discharge of material, if possible to do so without hazard.  For small spills implement cleanup procedures and, if in Public Area, keep Public away and advise Authorities.  Also, if this product is subject to Cercla reporting notify the National Response Center.  Vapors/Dust can be Harmful/Fatal.  Warn occupants of downwind areas.  Contain spilled liquid with sand or earth.  Do not use combustible materials such as sawdust.  Recover by pumping (use Explosion Proof or Hand Pump) or with a suitable absorbent.

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:

Consult an expert on disposal of recovered material and ensure conformity to local disposal regulations.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE:

Keep away from flame.  Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.  Avoid skin or eye contact.  Store below 120°F in a tightly closed container away from oxidizing materials and sources of ignition.
