4. First aid measures

Eye contact : Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes, occasionally lifting the
upper and lower eyelids. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin contact : In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes. Get
medical attention immediately.
Inhalation : Move exposed person to fresh air. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory
arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. Call medical
doctor or poison control center immediately. Get medical attention immediately. Contact
your local Poison Control Center.
Ingestion : Wash out mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call medical doctor
or poison control center immediately.
Protection of first-aiders : If it is suspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate
mask or self-contained breathing apparatus. It may be dangerous to the person providing
aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly with
water before removing it, or wear gloves.
Notes to physician : No specific treatment. Treat symptomatically. Contact poison treatment specialist
immediately if large quantities have been ingested or inhaled.

5. Fire-fighting measures
Flammability of the product : Contact with combustible material may cause fire. This material increases the risk of fire
and may aid combustion.
Extinguishing media
Suitable : Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire.
Not suitable : None known.
Special exposure hazards : Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Use water spray to keep
fire-exposed containers cool.
Hazardous decomposition : Decomposition products may include the following materials:
products sulfur oxides
halogenated compounds
Special protective : Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing
equipment for fire-fighters apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.

6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions : Shut off all ignition sources. No flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Do not breathe
dust. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is
inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8).
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 for cleaning up
Spill : Stop leak if without risk. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined
areas. Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a designated, labeled waste container.
Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Dispose of via a licensed waste
disposal contractor. Note: see section 1 for emergency contact information and section
13 for waste disposal.

7. Handling and storage

Handling : Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8). Eating, drinking and
smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and
processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking.
Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not ingest. Use only with adequate
ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Keep away from
combustible material. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous.
Storage : See NFPA 430, Code for the Storage of Liquid and Solid Oxidizers. Store in accordance
with local regulations. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry,
cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see section 10) and
food and drink. Separate from reducing agents and combustible materials. 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.

8. Exposure controls/personal protection

Canada
Occupational exposure limits TWA (8 hours) STEL (15 mins) Ceiling

Ingredient List name ppm mg/m³ Other ppm mg/m³ Other ppm mg/m³ Other Notations

No known value.

Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits.

Recommended monitoring : Personal, workplace atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to determine
procedures the effectiveness of the ventilation or other control measures and/or the necessity to use
respiratory protective equipment.
Engineering measures : Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or
other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any
recommended or statutory limits.

8. Exposure controls/personal protection

Hygiene measures : Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before
eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Respiratory : Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards
of the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator. Recommended:
Wear an appropriate NIOSH approved respirator if concentration levels exceed the safe
exposure limits. Use appropriate NIOSH approved dust respirator if PEL/TLV may be
exceeded.
Hands : Use gloves appropriate for work or task being performed. Recommended: Natural
rubber (latex).
Eyes : Safety eyewear should be used when there is a likelihood of exposure. Not required
under normal conditions of use. Recommended: Safety glasses with side shields.
Skin : Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being
performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling
this product. No special protective clothing is required. Recommended: Lab coat.
Environmental exposure : In some cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process
controls equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
