May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Inhalation: Non-corrosive for lungs but can be irritating in cases of inhalation. Chronic Effects: Not available. Section 4 – FIRST AID MEASURES Eye Contact: Immediately wash eyes after any exposure with plenty of water for 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep eyes closed. Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing. If irritation persists, get medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward to reduce risk of aspiration. If swallowed and if victim is conscious, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately. Inhalation: Remove from exposure or move victim to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, apply artificial respiration. If coughing or other symptoms appear, get medical attention. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Treat symptomatically and supportively. Section 5 – FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flash Point: Not Applicable. Auto Ignition Temperature: Not Applicable. Lower Explosion Limit (%): Not Available. Upper Explosion Limit (%): Not Available. NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 0; Reactivity: 0 Extinguishing Media: Foam, CO2, Dry Chemical, Water Fog, Other Fire-fighting Equipment/Procedures: MUST WEAR MSHA/NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus. Cool fire-exposed containers with water spray. Hazardous Combustion Products: Irritating and toxic gases or fumes may be released during a fire. Products of thermal decomposition or combustion are toxic. Unusual Fire Explosion Hazards: Not applicable. Section 6 – ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Spill and Leak procedures: Wear appropriate protective equipment as indicated in Section 8. Absorb liquid with an absorbent material. Transfer contaminated absorbent to a closed chemical waste container for disposal. Wash spill site after material has been picked up for disposal. 450-13073-002 Rev.00 Page 2 of 7 5/25/2010 Uncontrolled hard copies of this document are valid only for the date printed.
