Emergency/First Aid Procedures: INHALATION: REMOVE PATIENT TO FRESH AIR AND CONSULT A PHYSICIAN. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. IF NOT BREATHING GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. SKIN: WASH SKIN THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND WATER. IMMEDIATELY REMOVE CONTAIMINATED CLOTHING AND LAUNDER BEFORE REUSE. IF IRRITATION OR RASH DEVELOPS, OBTAIN MEDICAL ASSISTANCE.
INGESTION: CALL A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING EXCEPT AT THE INSTRUCTION OF A PHYSICIAN.
Section VII - Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Steps to Be Taken in Case Material Released or Spilled: NOTIFY EMERGENCY RESPONSE PERSONNEL. EVACUATE AREA AND REMOVE IGNITION SOURCES. BUILD DIKE TO CONTAIN FLOW. REMOVE FREE LIQUID. SHUT OFF IGNITION SOURCE. CONTAIN SPILL AND KEEP FROM ENTERING WATERWAYS OR SEWERS. USE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
Waste Disposal Method: ABSORB ON INERT MATERIAL. SHOVEL, SWEEP OR VACUUM SPILL AND PLACE IN CLOSED CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL.
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing: KEEP AWAY FROM FLAMES, SPARKS OR HOT SURFACES. NEVER USE A TORCH TO CUT OR WELD ON OR NEAR CONTAINER. EMPTY CONTAINERS CAN CONTAIN EXPLOSIVE VAPORS. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING.
Other Precautions: DO NOT STORE WITH STRONG OXIDIZERS.
