First Aid Measures

Ingestion

Do NOT induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately. Wash mouth out with water.

Inhalation

Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.

Skin

Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.

Eyes

Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.

Handling and Storage

Storage

Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry place. Flammables-area.

Handling

Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Do not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Use only in a chemical fume hood.

Hazards Identification

Inhalation

Harmful if inhaled. Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. May cause asthma and shortness of breath.

Skin

Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Causes skin burns. Exposure may cause irritation characterized by redness, dryness, and inflammation. Substance is readily absorbed through the skin.

Eyes

Causes eye burns. Causes redness and pain.

Ingestion

Poison by ingestion. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns.

Hazards

Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers.
