First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, seek medical attention for persistent discomfort
Eye Contact: Rinse carefully with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present, continue rinsing, seek medical attention if irritation persists
Skin Contact: Immediately wash skin with plenty of water and soap, remove contaminated clothing, seek medical attention if irritation develops
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting, seek medical attention if feeling unwell

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, water spray
Specific Hazards: May produce irritating or toxic fumes under fire conditions such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and other organic compounds
Protective Equipment: Firefighters wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, ventilate area, use personal protective equipment
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements, or confined areas
Methods for Containment and Cleaning Up: Absorb with inert material like sand or vermiculite, sweep up and place in proper waste disposal containers, wash area with water after clean-up is complete

Handling and Storage

Handling: Avoid inhalation and contact with skin, eyes, and clothing; use personal protective equipment; provide adequate ventilation
Storage: Keep tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place; store away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents; protect from light and moisture; keep away from sources of ignition

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits
Personal Protective Equipment: Protective gloves (nitrile recommended), safety goggles or face shield, long-sleeved clothing, adequate respiratory protection in poorly ventilated areas
Hygiene Measures: Wash thoroughly after handling and before eating or drinking, prevent contamination of food and drink, remove contaminated clothing
