Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
IN CASE OF CONTACT, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES OR SKIN WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES WHILE REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES.
IF SWALLOWED, WASH OUT MOUTH WITH WATER PROVIDED PERSON IS CONSCIOUS. CALL A PHYSICIAN.
IF INHALED, REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION.
IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. ASSURE ADEQUATE FLUSHING OF THE EYES BY SEPARATING THE EYELIDS WITH FINGERS.
Fire-fighting measures
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: CARBON DIOXIDE, DRY CHEMICAL POWDER OR APPROPRIATE FOAM.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING TO PREVENT CONTACT WITH SKIN AND EYES. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSIONS HAZARDS COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID. EMITS TOXIC FUMES UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS.
Accidental release measures
EVACUATE AREA.
WEAR RESPIRATOR, CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES, RUBBER BOOTS AND HEAVY
RUBBER GLOVES.
COVER WITH DRY LIME OR SODA ASH, PICK UP, KEEP IN A CLOSED CONTAINER
AND HOLD FOR WASTE DISPOSAL.
VENTILATE AREA AND WASH SPILL SITE AFTER MATERIAL PICKUP IS COMPLETE.
Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Advice on safe handling
Wear suitable personal protective equipment
Do not breath vapours or aerosols
Advice on protection against fire and explosion
Combustible material, vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Forms explosive mixtures with air on heating.
Keep away from sources of ignition
7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Further information on storage conditions
Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place, open and handle carefully.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Wear appropriate NIOSH/MSHA-approved respirator, chemical -resistant gloves, safety goggles, other protective clothing
faceshield (8-inch minimum). Use only in a chemical fume hood. Safety shower and eye bath. Do not breath vapor. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure. Wash thoroughly after handing. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Keep away from heat and open flame.Store in a cool dry place.
