Administrative data
First-aid measures
Eye Contact: Flush contaminated eye(s) with copious quantities of water. Part eyelids to assure complete flushing. Continue for a minimum of 15 minutes. Repeat for subsequent 15 minutes periods if irritation returns. Seek immediate medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and flush affected areas with large amounts of lukewarm water. Delayed burns may result,seek immediate medical attention.
Inhalation: Get medical aid immediately. Remove form exposure to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use outh-to mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a mask.
Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Possible aspiration hazard. Get medical aid immediately.
Fire-fighting measures
.Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
.Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Extremely flammable in the presence of the following materials or conditions: open
flames, sparks and static discharge and oxidizing materials.
.Explosion Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact: Not available.
.Explosion Sensitivity to Static Discharge: Not available.
Accidental release measures
explosion-proof equipment. Note: see section 1 for emergency contact information and section 13 for waste disposal.
.Measures for environmental protection: Do not allow material to be released to the environment without proper governmental
permits.
Handling and storage
.Information for safe handling:
Use only with adequate ventilation. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment. Wash
thoroughly after handling. Do not puncture or incinerate container. Use equipment rated for cylinder pressure. Close valve after
each use and when empty.
.Information about fire and explosion protection:
Do not ingest. Keep container closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. To avoid fire, eliminate ignition sources. Protect
cylinders from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide, or drop. Use a suitable hand truck for cylinder movement.
.Storage:
.Requirements to be met by storerooms and receptacles:
Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Avoid all possible
sources of ignition (spark or flame). Segregate from oxidizing materials. Cylinders should be stored upright, with valve protection
cap in place, and firmly secured to prevent falling or being knocked over. Cylinder temperatures should not exceed 52℃.
.Further information about storage condition: Store in cool, dry conditions in well sealed containers

Exposure controls / personal protection
engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits. The
engineering controls also need to keep gas, vapor or dust concentrations below any lower explosive limits. Use explosion-proof
ventilation equipment.
.Personal Protective Equipment:
.Protection of Hands: Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times
when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary.

.Protection of Eyes: Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment indicates this is
necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists or dusts.
.Protection of Respiratory Tract: Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved standard if
a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. 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.
.Protection of Body: 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.
.General protective and hygienic measures: Not available.
.Material of Gloves: Not available.
