4. First Aid Measures
- Ingestion
- If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 1-2 glasses of water to drink. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek medical attention immediately.
- Inhalation
- In case of inhalation due to spray mist, machining dust or dried particulate, remove source of exposure and assure that victim is breathing. If not breathing, administer cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
- Skin Contact
- Immediately wipe excess material off skin with a dry cloth then wash with soap and water for at least 5 minutes.
- Eye Contact
- Hold eyelids open and flush with a steady, gentle stream of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek immediate medical attention, preferably with an ophthalmologist.
- Other Information
- Inhalation of product may aggravate existing chromic respiratory problems such as asthma, emphysema or bronchitis. Skin contact may aggravate existing skin disease.
5. Firefighting Measures
Suitable extinguishing equipment
- Fire
- This material is compatible with all extinguishing media.
- HAZCHEM
- Not available.
Special protective equipment and precautions for fire fighters
- Firefighters should wear NIOSH/MSHA approved positive pressure breathing apparatus with full facepiece and full chemical resistant protective clothing.
- Dike area to prevent runoff and contamination of water sources. Dispose of fire control water later.
6. Accidental Release Measures
- Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
- Wear chemical goggles, body-covering protective clothing, chemical resistant gloves, and rubber boots. Use NIOSH approved respirator where mist occurs.
- Environmental precautions
- Not available.
- Methods and materials for containment and clean up
- Mop up and neutralise liquid, then discharge to sewer in accordance with federal, state and local regulations or permits. Flush area with water to complete cleanup. Exercise caution during neutralisation as heat may be generated.
7. Handling and Storage
- Precautions for safe handling
- Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing spray mist. Keep container closed. Promptly clean residue from closures with cloth dampened with water. Promptly clean up spills.
- Conditions for safe storage
- Store in an area that is cool, dry, well ventilated. Keep containers closed. Store in clean plastic or stainless steel containers.
8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Exposure Standards
- Engineering controls
- Use with adequate ventilation. Keep containers closed. Safety shower and eyewash fountain should be within direct access.
Personal protective equipment
- Eye and face protection
- Wear chemical goggles.
- Skin protection
- Wear protective gloves.
- Body protection
- Wear body-covering protective clothing and gloves.
- Respiratory protection
- This product is not considered respirable in either the liquid or cured forms. However, if the cured product is polished, ground or chipped during processing, handling or use, powders may be released as airborne respirable particles. In these instances, appropriate personal protection equipment and local ventilation controls must be employed. If exposure limits are exceeded and local ventilation is unavailable, a supplied-air respirator or a self-contained NIOSH-approved dust and mist respirator is required.
