Unless otherwise noted in Notes to Physician, no specific treatment noted; treat symptomatically.

5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES

Extinguishing media (suitable):


Water spray, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Foam, Dry chemical

Protective equipment:
Fire fighters and others who may be exposed to products of combustion should wear full fire fighting turn out gear
(full Bunker Gear) and self-contained breathing apparatus (pressure demand / NIOSH approved or equivalent).

Further firefighting advice:


Fire fighting equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use.

Fire and explosion hazards:


Heated material can form flammable vapors with air.
When burned, the following hazardous products of combustion can occur:
Carbon oxides
Hazardous organic compounds

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, Emergency procedures, Methods and materials for containment/clean-up:


Prevent further leakage or spillage if you can do so without risk. Ventilate the area. Sweep up and shovel into
suitable properly labeled containers for prompt disposal. Possible fall hazard – floor may become slippery from
leakage/spillage of product. Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers. Consult a regulatory specialist to determine appropriate state or local reporting requirements, for

Only those components with exposure limits are printed in this section. Limits with skin contact designation above have skin contact
effect. Air sampling alone is insufficient to accurately quantitate exposure. Measures to prevent significant cutaneous absorption
may be required. Limits with a sensitizer designation above mean that exposure to this material may cause allergic reactions.

Engineering controls:
Investigate engineering techniques to reduce exposures below airborne exposure limits or to otherwise reduce
exposures. Provide ventilation if necessary to minimize exposures or to control exposure levels to below
airborne exposure limits (if applicable see above). If practical, use local mechanical exhaust ventilation at
sources of air contamination such as open process equipment.

Respiratory protection:
Avoid breathing dust. Avoid breathing processing fumes or vapors. Where airborne exposure is likely or
airborne exposure limits are exceeded (if applicable, see above), use NIOSH approved respiratory protection
equipment appropriate to the material and/or its components and substances released during processing.
Consult respirator manufacturer to determine appropriate type equipment for a given application. Observe
respirator use limitations specified by NIOSH or the manufacturer. For emergency and other conditions where
there may be a potential for significant exposure or where exposure limit may be significantly exceeded, use an
approved full face positive-pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus or positive-pressure airline with
auxiliary self-contained air supply. Respiratory protection programs must comply with 29 CFR § 1910.134.

Skin protection:
Processing of this product releases vapors or fumes which may cause skin irritation. Minimize skin
contamination by following good industrial hygiene practice. Wearing protective gloves is recommended. Wash
hands and contaminated skin thoroughly after contact with processing fumes or vapors. Wash thoroughly after
handling.

Eye protection:
Use good industrial practice to avoid eye contact. Processing of this product releases vapors or fumes which
may cause eye irritation. Where eye contact may be likely, wear chemical goggles and have eye flushing
equipment available.
