Irritation. Nausea. Headache. Shortness of breath.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:
If seeking medical attention, provide SDS document to physician.

SECTION 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES

Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media:
If in laboratory setting, follow laboratory fire suppression procedures. Use appropriate fire suppression agents for adjacent combustible materials or sources of ignition.
UnSuitable extinguishing media: None
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
Combustion products may include carbon oxides or other toxic vapors.
Advice for firefighters:
Protective equipment: None
Additional information (precautions):
Move product containers away from fire or keep cool with water spray as a protective measure, where feasible.

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Wear protective equipment. Use respiratory protective device against the effects of fumes/dust/aerosol. Keep unprotected persons away. Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep away from ignition sources. Protect from heat.
Stop the spill, if possible. Contain spilled material by diking or using inert absorbent. Transfer to a disposal or recovery container.
Environmental precautions:
Prevent from reaching drains, sewer or waterway. Collect contaminated soil for characterization per Section 13.
Methods and material for containment and cleanup:
If in a laboratory setting, follow Chemical Hygiene Plan procedures. Collect liquids using vacuum or by use of absorbents. Place into properly labeled containers for recovery or disposal. If necessary, use trained response staff/contractor.
Reference to other sections: None

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling:
Prevent formation of aerosols. Follow good hygiene procedures when handling chemical materials. Do not eat, drink, smoke, or use personal products when handling chemical substances. If in a laboratory setting, follow
Chemical Hygiene Plan. Use only in well ventilated areas. Avoid splashes or spray in enclosed areas.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Store in a cool location. Provide ventilation for containers. Avoid storage near extreme heat, ignition sources or open flame. Store away from foodstuffs. Store away from oxidizing agents. Store in cool, dry conditions in well-sealed containers. Keep container tightly sealed

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Control Parameters:
No applicable occupational exposure limits.
Appropriate Engineering controls:
Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in the immediate vicinity of use/handling. Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapor or mists below the applicable workplace exposure limits (Occupational
Exposure Limits-OELs) indicated above.
Respiratory protection:
Not required under normal conditions of use. Use suitable respiratory protective device when high concentrations are present. Use suitable respiratory protective device when aerosol or mist is formed. For spills, respiratory protection may be advisable.
Protection of skin:
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/the substance/ the preparation being used/handled. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation.
Eye protection:
Safety glasses with side shields or goggles.
General hygienic measures:
The usual precautionary measures are to be adhered to when handling chemicals. Keep away from food, beverages and feed sources.
Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work. Do not inhale gases/fumes/dust/mist/vapor/aerosols. Avoid contact with the eyes and
skin.
