Section
4. First Aid Measures
Eye
Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact,
immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water
may be used. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin
Contact In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Cold water may be used. Wash
clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical
attention immediately.
Inhalation
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention
immediately.
Ingestion
Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing such
as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention if symptoms appear.

6. Accidental Release Measures
Small
Spill and Leak
Dilute
with water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an
appropriate waste disposal container.
Large
Spill and Leak
Keep
away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Stop leak if without risk. Cover
with DRY earth, DRY sand or other non-combustible material followed with
plastic sheet to minimize spreading or contact with rain. Do not touch spilled
material. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if
needed. Be careful that the product is not present at a concentration level
above TLV. Check TLV on the MSDS and with local authorities.
