SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
4.1. Description of First-aid Measures
|
First-aid Measures General: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If exposed or concerned, seek medical advice (show the label where possible). |
|
First-aid Measures After Inhalation: When symptoms occur: go into open air and ventilate suspected area. Obtain medical attention if breathing difficulty persists. |
|
First-aid Measures After Skin Contact: Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. |
| First-aid Measures After Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists |
|

4.2. Most Important Symptoms and Effects Both Acute and Delayed
|
General: Causes serious eye irritation |
|
Symptoms/Injuries After Inhalation: Prolonged exposure to liquid may cause a mild irritation. |
|
Symptoms/Injuries After Skin Contact: Repeated or prolonged skin contact may cause dermatitis and defatting. |
| Symptoms/Injuries After Eye Contact: Causes serious eye irritation. Symptoms may include: Redness, pain, swelling, itching, burning, tearing, and blurred vision. |
|
Symptoms/Injuries After Ingestion: Ingestion will cause narcotic effects including, but not limited to: nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dizziness, incoordination, and respiratory depression. |
| Chronic Symptoms: None expected under normal conditions of use. |
4.3. Indication of Any Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment Needed
If medical advice is needed, have product container or label at hand.
SECTION 5: FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
5.1. Extinguishing Media
|
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, water spray, fog. |
| Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use a heavy water stream. A heavy water stream may spread burning liquid. Water may be ineffective because it may not cool material below its flash point. |
5.2. Special Hazards Arising From the Substance or Mixture
|
Fire Hazard: Highly flammable liquid and vapor. |
|
Explosion Hazard: May form flammable/explosive vapor-air mixture. When mixed with air and exposed to an ignition source, flammable vapors can burn in the open or explode in confined spaces. Being heavier than air, vapors may travel long distances to an ignition source and flash back. Runoff to sewer may cause fire or explosion hazard |
| Reactivity: Reacts violently with strong oxidizers. Increased risk of fire or explosion. |
5.3. Advice for Firefighters
| Precautionary Measures Fire: Exercise caution when fighting any chemical fire. Under fire conditions, hazardous fumes will be present. |
|
Firefighting Instructions: Use water spray or fog for cooling exposed containers. Prevent fire-fighting water from entering environment.. |
|
Protection During Firefighting: DANGER: Do not enter fire area without proper protective equipment, including respiratory protection. |
|
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon oxides (CO, CO2). |
Refer to section 9 for flammability properties.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

6.1.1. For Non-Emergency Personnel:
Protective Equipment: Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).Emergency Procedures: Evacuate unnecessary personnel. Stop leak if safe to do so.
6.1.2. For Emergency Personnel:
|
Protective Equipment: Equip cleanup crew with proper protection. Use appropriate protection equipment (PPE). Emergency Procedures: Upon arrival at the scene, a first responder is expected to recognize the presence of dangerous goods, protect oneself and the public, secure the area, and call for the assistance of trained personnel as soon as conditions permit. |
6.2. Environmental Precautions
Prevent entry to sewers and public waters. Notify authorities if liquid enters sewers or public waters.
6.3. Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up
|
For Containment: Contain any spills with dikes or absorbents to prevent migration and entry into sewers or streams. |
