SECTION 4-First Aid Measures

 

Skin:                             Treat frostbite by immediately immersing affected areas in warm water until skin has warmed up and turned pink.

Take off all contaminated clothing immediately. Obtain medical attention immediately.

 

Eye contact:                    In case of contact,  remove contact lenses if applicable  and immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a physician if necessary.

 

Inhalation:                      Remove from exposure, lie down. Move to fresh air. Keep patient warm and rest. Artificial respiration                                            and/or oxygen may be necessary. Consult a physician. If breathing has stopped trained personnel should

administer CPR immediately.

 

Ingestion:                       Is not considered a potential route of exposure.

 

General advice:                Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. When symptoms persist or in all cases of doubt                                                  seek medical advice. Do not puncture or incinerate container. Avoid contact with eyes and skin.

                                    Keep out of reach of children.

 

Notes to Physician:          Because of possible disturbances of cardiac rhythm, catecholamine drugs, such as epinephrine, that may                                                      be used in situations of emergency life support should be used with special caution. Treat symptomatically.

SECTION 6-Accidental Release Measures

 

NOTE: Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING (PERSONNEL) section before proceeding with clean up. Use appropriate

Safety equipment during clean-up.

 

Safeguards (Personnel)      Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Ventilate area, especially low or enclosed places where heavy vapors

                                    might collect. Do not walk through or touch spilled material. Unless wearing appropriate clothing. Large

                                    spill or leak unlikely with aerosol containers.

Methods of containment    Eliminate ignition sources. No smoking or lit sparks or flames.

 

Methods of clean up         Before cleaning up refer to hazard data above. Remove sources of ignition. Use non-flammable absorbent in clean

                                    up. Large spills unlikely with aerosol containers.

 

Accidental

Release Measures:            Should not be released into the environment.

                                    Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is required if a large release occurs. Avoid open flames and

                                    high temperatures.

 

 

 

SECTON 7-Handling and Storage

 

Handling (Personnel)        Use sufficient ventilation to keep exposure below recommended limits. For personal protection

                                    See section 8. Avoid breathing mist of aerosols.

                                    Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

 

Storage:                         Keep out of reach of children. Do not store in temperatures above 49¡C. (120.2¡F)
