Section 4 - First Aid Measures 
Inhalation: Call emergency medical service. Move victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if victim is not breathing.
Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Keep victim warm and quiet. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.
Skin contact: Call a poison center or doctor if you feel unwell. In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin with running water for at least 20 minutes. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect  themselves.
Eye contact: In case of contact with substance, immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 20 minutes. If eye irritation persists get medical advice/attention. Move victim to fresh air. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Keep victim warm and quiet. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Effects of exposure to substance may be delayed. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.
Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or label. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If a person vomits place them in the recovery position so that vomit will not reenter the mouth and throat. Rinse mouth. Keep victim warm and quiet. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.
Symptoms/effects:
Acute: No data available
Delayed: No data available
Immediate medical attention:
If breathing has stopped, perform artificial respiration. Use first aid treatment according to the nature of the injury. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures 
Suitable extinguishing media:
Dry chemical, CO2 , water spray, or alcohol-resistant foam. Consult with local fire authorities before attempting large scale fire fighting operations.
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Hazardous combustion products:
These products include: Carbon oxides
Other specific hazards:
Closed containers may explode from heat of a fire.
Special precautions for fire-fighters:
CAUTION: All these products have a very low flash point: Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient. Use water spray or fog; do not use
straight streams. Do not use straight streams. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:
Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Structural fire fighters' protective clothing provides limited protection in fire situations
ONLY; it may not be effective in spill situations. Wear chemical protective clothing which is specifically recommended by the manufacturer. It may provide little or no thermal protection

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures 
Personal precautions:
Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Remove all sources of ignition. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing (Section 8). Warn unnecessary personnel to move away. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Isolate the hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary and unprotected personnel.
Personal protective equipment:
Splash goggles. Lab coat. Vapor respirator. Be sure to use a MSHA/NIOSH approved respirator or equivalent. Wear protective gloves (nitrile).
Emergency procedures:
Isolate area until gas has dispersed. In case of a spill and/or a leak, always shut off any sources of ignition, ventilate the area, and excercise caution. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Warn personnel to move away. Prevent entry into sewers,
basements or confined areas; dike if needed.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:
ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Stop leak if without risk. Ventilate the area. Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal container. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.
Environmental precautions:
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Precautions for safe handling:
Do NOT breath gas, fumes, vapor, or spray. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Use explosion-proof equipment. Use only non-sparking hand tool when handling this product. Ground all equipment containing material. Take measures to prevent build up of electrostatic
charge. Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control airborne levels. Keep container dry. Handle and open container with care. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. When using do not eat, drink, or smoke. Keep away from sources of ignition.
Conditions for safe storage:
Keep only in the original container in a cool well-ventilated place. Keep away from sources of ignition. Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame, or any other ignition source. Keep away from incompatibles. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent
leakage. Avoid prolonged storage periods.
Storage incompatibilities:
Combustible substances, Store away from oxidizing agents

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection 
Exposure limits:
No data available
Appropriate engineering controls:
Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control airborne levels. Ventilation is normally required when handling or using this product. Eyewash
fountains should be provided in areas where there is any possibility that workers could be exposed to the substance. Follow safe industrial engineering /laboratory practices when handling any chemical.
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection: Vapor respirator. Be sure to use a MSHA/NIOSH approved respirator or equivalent.
Hand protection: Wear protective gloves.
Eye protection: Splash goggles.
Skin and body protection: Lab coat.
