4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Inhalation:

Eyes:

Skin Contact:
Ingestion:

Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, have a trained individual administer oxygen. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration and have a trained individual administer oxygen. Get
medical attention immediately
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes retracting eyelids often. Tilt the head to
prevent chemical from transferring to the uncontaminated eye. Get immediate medical
attention.
Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder. Get medical
attention if irritation develops or persists.
Do not induce vomiting and seek medical attention immediately. Drink two glasses of water
or milk to dilute. Provide medical care provider with this SDS.

5. FIRE- FIGHTING MEASURES


Extinguishing Media:

Fire and/or Explosion Hazards:

Fire Fighting Methods and Protection:

Hazardous Combustion Products:

Use alcohol resistant foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical extinguishing


agents. Water may be ineffective but water spray can be used extinguish
a fire if swept across the base of the flames. Water can absorb heat and
keep exposed material from being damaged by fire.
Vapors may be ignited by sparks, flames or other sources of ignition if
material is above the flash point giving rise to a fire (Class B). Vapors are
heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back.
Do not enter fire area without proper protection including self-contained
breathing apparatus and full protective equipment. Fight fire from a safe
distance and a protected location due to the potential of hazardous
vapors and decomposition products. Flammable component(s) of this
material may be lighter than water and burn while floating on the surface.
Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES


Personal Precautions and Equipment:

Methods for Clean-up:

34078 / 1,4-Butandiol Standard

Exposure to the spilled material may be severely irritating or toxic. Follow


personal protective equipment recommendations found in Section 8 of
this SDS. Personal protective equipment needs must be evaluated based
on information provided on this sheet and the special circumstances
created by the spill including; the material spilled, the quantity of the spill,
the area in which the spill occurred, and the expertise of employees in the
area responding to the spill. Never exceed any occupational exposure
limits.
Prevent the spread of any spill to minimize harm to human health and the
environment if safe to do so. Wear complete and proper personal
protective equipment following the recommendation of Section 8 at a
minimum. Dike with suitable absorbent material like granulated clay.
Gather and store in a sealed container pending a waste disposal

evaluation.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Technical Measures and Precautions:

Storage Technical Measures and Conditions:

Toxic or severely irritating material. Avoid contacting and avoid


breathing the material. Use only in a well ventilated area. Use
spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment
Store in a cool dry ventilated location. Isolate from
incompatible materials and conditions. Keep container(s)
closed. Keep away from sources of ignition

Local exhaust ventilation is recommended when generating excessive levels of


vapors from handling or thermal processing.
Respiratory protection may be required to avoid overexposure when handling this
product. General or local exhaust ventilation is the preferred means of protection.
Use a respirator if general room ventilation is not available or sufficient to
eliminate symptoms.If an exposure limit is exceeded or if an operator is
experiencing symptoms of inhalation overexposure as explained in Section 3,
provide respiratory protection.
Wear chemically resistant safety glasses with side shields when handling this
product. Do not wear contact lenses.
Wear protective gloves. Inspect gloves for chemical break-through and replace at
regular intervals. Clean protective equipment regularly. Wash hands and other
exposed areas with mild soap and water before eating, drinking, and when
leaving work
