Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES 
  
 Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
 Skin:
 Get medical aid. Wash clothing before reuse. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water.
 Ingestion:
 Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
 Inhalation:
 Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a mask.
 Notes to Physician:
 Treat symptomatically and supportively. 
 
 
Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES 
  
 General Information:
 As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
 Extinguishing Media:
 Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire. Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam. 
 
 
Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES 
  
 General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
 Spills/Leaks:
 Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
 Provide ventilation. 
 
 
Section 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE 
  
 Handling:
 Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation.
 Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
 Storage:
 Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep refrigerated. (Store below 4C/39F.)  
 
 
Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION 
  
 Engineering Controls:
 Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
 Exposure Limits CAS# 10592-13-9: Personal Protective Equipment Eyes: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166.
 Skin:
 Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure.
 Clothing:
 Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.
 Respirators:
 Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
