SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation: Call a poison center or doctor if you feel unwell. Effects of exposure (inhalation) to

substance may be

delayed. Inhalation of vapors or contact with substance will result in contamination and potential

harmful

effects. Move victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Administer oxygen if

breathing is difficult. Keep victim warm and quiet. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Ensure that

medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.Skin contact: Call a poison center or doctor if you feel unwell. Effects of exposure (skin contact) to

substance may be

delayed. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Remove and isolate contaminated

clothing and shoes. In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin with running water for at

least 20 minutes. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of

the

material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.

Eye contact: IMMEDIATELY flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids

open. Contact with

material may irritate or burn eyes. Call emergency medical service. Move victim to fresh air. Check for

and

remove any contact lenses. Keep victim warm and quiet. Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Effects of

exposure to substance may be delayed. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s)

involved and take precautions to protect themselves.

Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Do not induce vomiting with out medical advice. Effects of exposure

(ingestion) to

substance may be delayed. Call a physician or Poison Control Center immediately. Do not use mouth-

tomouth

method if victim ingested the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask

equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Loosen tight clothing such

as a

collar, tie, belt or waistband. If a person vomits place them in the recovery position so that vomit will

not

reenter the mouth and throat. Rinse mouth. Keep victim warm and quiet. Treat symptomatically and

supportively. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take

precautions to

protect themselves.

Symptoms/effects:

Acute: Redness.

Delayed: May have effects on the respiratory tract.

Immediate medical attention: WARNING: It might be hazardous to the person providing aid to give

mouth-to-mouth respiration, because

the inhaled material is harmful. If breathing has stopped, perform artificial respiration. Use first aid

treatment according to the nature of the injury. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the

material(s)

involved and take precautions to protect themselves.

SECTION 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable extinguishing media: Dry chemical, CO2 , water spray, or alcohol-resistant foam. Consult with

local fire authorities before

attempting large scale fire fighting operations.

Hazardous combustion products: These products include: Halogenated compounds

Other specific hazards: Closed containers may explode from heat of a fire.

Special precautions for fire-fighters:

Use water spray or fog; do not use straight streams. Dike fire-control water for later disposal; do not

scatter the material. CAUTION: All these products

have a very low flash point: Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient. Do not use

straight streams. Runoff to sewer may create fire or

explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Move containers from fire area if you can do

it without risk.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Structural fire fighters' protective

clothing provides limited protection in fire situations

ONLY; it may not be effective in spill situations. Wear chemical protective clothing which is specifically

recommended by the manufacturer. It may

provide little or no thermal protection.

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions: Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Keep people away from and upwind

of spill/leak. Use sparkproof

tools and explosion-proof equipment. Remove all sources of ignition. Do not touch damaged

containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing (Section 8). Warn

unnecessary personnel to move away. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Ensure adequate

ventilation.

Isolate the hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary and unprotected personnel.

Personal protective equipment: Wear eye protection (splash goggles) and face protection (full length

face shield). Lab coat. Vapor

respirator. Be sure to use a MSHA/NIOSH approved respirator or equivalent. Wear protective gloves

(nitrile).

Emergency procedures: Isolate area until gas has dispersed. Do not clean-up or dispose except under

supervision of a specialist.

In case of a spill and/or a leak, always shut off any sources of ignition, ventilate the area, and

excercise

caution. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective

clothing. Warn personnel to move away. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike

if

needed.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:

ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). All

equipment used when handling the product must be

grounded. Stop leak if without risk. Ventilate the area. Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled

material in an appropriate waste disposal

container. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.

Environmental precautions:

Keep away from living quarters. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Water runoff can

cause environmental damage. Prevent entry into

sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed.

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling: Do NOT breath gas, fumes, vapor, or spray. Do not ingest. Avoid

contact with skin and eyes. Keep away

from heat and sources of ignition. Use explosion-proof equipment. Use only non-sparking hand tool

when

handling this product. Ground all equipment containing material. Take measures to prevent build up of

electrostatic charge. Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control airborne levels. Keep

container dry. Handle and open container with care. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and

eye/face

protection. When using do not eat, drink, or smoke. Keep away from sources of ignition.

Conditions for safe storage: Store locked up. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated

place. Keep away from sources ofignition. Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame, or any other ignition source. Keep away

from

incompatibles. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent

leakage. Avoid prolonged storage periods. Store under inert gas (e.g. Argon). Moisture sensitive.

Storage incompatibilities: Combustible substances, Store away from oxidizing agents
