Wash clothing before reuse. If symptoms develop and persist, get medical
attention.

Eye contact: Flush with copious amounts of water, preferably, lukewarm water for at least
15 minutes, holding eyelids open all the time. Get medical attention.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Keep individual calm. Get medical attention.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Use personal protection recommended in Section 8, isolate the hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary and unprotected
personnel.

Environmental precautions: Do not allow product to enter sewer or waterways.

Clean-up methods: Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder,
universal binder, sawdust). Store in a partly filled, closed container until
disposal.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling: Prevent contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not breathe vapor and mist.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
