Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician.
Skin
Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eyes
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least fifteen minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.

SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
5.1 Extinguishing media
Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol-resistant foam, or carbon dioxide.
5.2 Special Hazards Arising from the Substance/Mixture
Hazardous Combustion Products
Hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, oxides of sulfur, irritating and toxic fumes and gases, carbon dioxide.
Hazardous Decomposition Products
Oxides of nitrogen, oxides of sulfur, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
Hazardous Polymerization
Will not occur under normal conditions of use (See Sections 10.4 & 10.5).
5.3 Advice for Firefighters
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
5.4 Further Information
No data available.
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1 Personal Precautions
Wear appropriate protective equipment as specified in Section 8.
6.2 Environmental Precautions
Prevent discharge into the environment. Dike spills and stop leakage where practical. Do not allow material to enter drains.
6.3 Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up
Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate area. Clean up in a manner that does not disperse dust. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Reduce airborne dust by moistening with water. Pick up for recovery or disposal and place in a closed container.
6.4 References to Other Sections
For disposal information see Section 13. For protective clothing and equipment see Section 8.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 Precautions for Safe Handling
Avoid contact and inhalation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.
7.2 Conditions for Safe Storage (including any incompatibles)
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cooled, dry, ventilated area away from sources of heat or ignition. Protect from physical damage. Isolate from incompatible materials (section 10).
Incompatibles
Strong oxidizers.
7.3 Specific End Uses
Investigational research by professional users
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
8.1 Control Parameters
ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
10 mg/m3
OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):
None established
8.2 Exposure Controls
Engineering Controls
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source.
Respiratory Protection
For conditions of use where exposure to the dust or mist is apparent, a full-face dust/mist respirator may be worn. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.
Eye Protection
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Skin Protection
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
