GENERAL ADVICE:
First Aid responders should pay attention to self-protection and use the recommended
protective clothing (chemical resistant gloves, splash protection). If potential for
exposure exists, refer to Section 8 for specific personal protective equipment.
EYE CONTACT:
If this product enters the eyes, open eyes while under gently running water. Use
sufficient force to open eyelids. "Roll" eyes to expose more surface. Minimum flushing
is for 15 minutes. Seek immediate medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT:
If the product contaminates the skin, immediately begin decontamination with running
water. Minimum flushing is for 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing, taking care not
to contaminate eyes. If skin becomes irritated and irritation persists, medical attention
may be necessary. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse, discard contaminated shoes.
INHALATION:
After high vapor exposure, remove to fresh air. If it is suspected that fumes are still
present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or self-contained breathing
apparatus. Keep person warm and at rest. breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. If breathing has stopped, trained personnel should immediately begin artificial
respiration. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention
immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt
or waistband. If the heart has stopped, trained personnel should immediately begin
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Seek immediate medical attention. In case of
inhalation of decomposition products in a fire, symptoms may be delayed.The exposed person
may need to be kept under medical surveillance for 48 hours.
SWALLOWING:
If swallowed, CALL PHYSICIAN OR POISON CONTROL CENTER FOR MOST CURRENT INFORMATION. If
professional advice is not available, give two glasses of water to drink. DO NOT INDUCE
VOMITING. Never induce vomiting or give liquids to someone who is unconscious, having
convulsions, or unable to swallow. Seek immediate medical attention.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN:
There is no specific antidote. Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control
of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient. Any material aspirated during
vomiting may cause lung injury. Therefore, emesis should not be induced mechanically or
pharmacologically. If it is considered necessary to evacuate the stomach contents, this
should be done by means least likely to cause aspiration (such as: Gastric lavage after
endotracheal intubation).
Victims of chemical exposure must be taken for medical attention. Rescuers should be taken
for medical attention, if necessary. Take a copy of label and SDS to physician or health
professional with victim.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Use water spray, carbon dioxide, foam, halon, dry chemical, and any "ABC" Class
extinguishing media.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:
Stop spill at source. Construct temporary dikes of dirt, sand, or any appropriate readily
available material to prevent spreading of the material. Close or cap valves and/or
block or plug hole in leaking container and transfer to another container. Keep from
entering storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways, and if necessary, call the
local fire or police department for immediate emergency assistance.
HANDLING
Avoid prolonged or repeated Avoid prolonged or repeated contact.
To minimize static discharge when transferring, ensure electrical continuity
by bonding and grounding all equipment. Use an inlet line diameter of at
least 3.5 inches (8.9 centimeters) with a maximum flow rate of 1 meter/second.
STORAGE
Isolate from strong oxidants. Do not store above 49 C/120 F.
Keep container tightly closed & upright when not in use to prevent leakage.
NONBULK: CONTAINERS:
Store containers in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight, sources of intense
heat, or where freezing is possible. Material should be stored in secondary containers or
in a diked area, as appropriate. Store containers away from incompatible chemicals (see
Section 10, Stability and Reactivity). Post warning and "NO SMOKING" signs in storage and
use areas, as appropriate. Empty containers should be handled with care. Never store food,
feed, or drinking water in containers which held this product.

NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and duration of use
in a workplace should also take into account all relevant workplace factors such as, but
not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture
protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential body reactions to glove materials,
as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.
BODY PROTECTION:
Use body protection appropriate for task. Cover-all, rubber aprons, or chemical protective
clothing made from impervious materials are generally acceptable, depending on the task.
MATERIALS TO AVOID
This product reacts with strong acids producing heat and sulfur dioxide gas, which is
toxic. Oxidizers may cause strong exothermic reactions. Other incompatibles include
sodium nitrite and aluminum powder.

causes damage to a developing embryo (such as: within the eight weeks of pregnancy in
humans), but the damage does not propagate across generational lines. A teratogen is a
chemical which causes damage to a developing fetus, but the damage does not propagate
across generational lines. A reproductive toxin is any substance which interferes in any way
with the reproductive process.
