First Aid Measures

Eye Contact: Rinse eyes thoroughly with water for 15 minutes, remove contact lenses, seek medical help
Skin Contact: Wash skin with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, consult physician if irritation persists
Inhalation: Move to fresh air, keep individual calm and warm, seek medical attention for any respiratory symptoms
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink a glass of water, avoid inducing vomiting, obtain immediate medical attention

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, or foam
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use high-pressure water jet on chemical fires
Special Hazards: Combustion releases carbon oxides and potentially irritating organic vapors
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective gear, prevent run-off from entering drains

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Avoid inhalation, skin, and eye contact; provide adequate ventilation, use personal protective equipment
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spill entering sewers or waterways
Clean-Up Procedures: Use absorbent material, scoop up for disposal in a sealed container, wash area with mild detergent and water

Handling and Storage

Handling: Wear lab coat, gloves, goggles; avoid dust and vapor formation, handle away from food and drink
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area; protect from light; keep container tightly closed
Compatible Materials: Store away from strong acids, bases, oxidizing agents

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No official occupational exposure limits established
Engineering Controls: Use fume hood, make sure ventilation exhausts to outside
Personal Protection: Chemical safety goggles, nitrile gloves, lab coat or apron, avoid open shoes
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks and after work, remove contaminated clothing, do not eat, drink, or smoke during use
