SECTION 6 HEALTH HAZARDS PROTECTIVE MEASURES FIRST AID
Carcinogen: No
EYES: Severely
irritating to the eyes. Use chemical goggles to prevent contact. Prolonged or
repeated eye contact can cause blindness. In the event of contact flush with
water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention if symptoms develop.
SKIN: Can
cause skin irritation on repeated or prolonged contact. Use neoprene or rubber
gloves and apron when handling this product In the event of contact wash with
water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention if symptoms develop.
INHALATION: Excessive
inhalation of mist or vapors can cause breathlessness and possible respiratory
failure. Use with adequate ventilation. Get medical attention if symptoms
develop.
INGESTION: Ingestion
may cause severe abdominal pain, anorexia, nausea, and vomiting, blurred vision
with possible blindness and death.
IN ALL CASES: GET
PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IF ADVERSE EFFECTS PERSIST
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: Skin, eyes,
inhalation, ingestion.
HYGIENE: Wash
hands and face before eating or drinking.
SECTION 7 PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING, STORAGE AND USE
SPILLS AND LEAKS: Keep
all sources of ignition and hot metal surfaces away from spill. Use foam on
spills to minimize vapors and potential for fire. Small spills may be absorbed into absorbent
material suitable for hydrocarbon liquids.
STORAGE AND HANDLING: Open
container slowly to relieve any pressure.
Ground all equipment when transferring from one container to
another. Use explosion proof equipment. Use and store in cool, dry, well-ventilated
area. Store in approved containers away
for incompatible materials
WASTE DISPOSAL: Follow
recommendations of local, state and federal regulations.
EMPTY CONTAINERS: Empty
containers may contain dangerous vapor residue.
Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind or expose to
heat, flame, sparks or other sources of ignitions. Containers must be disposed of in accordance
to regulations.
