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. Get medical attention immediately.
    Skin Contact        In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Remove    
    contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get
    medical attention.
    Serious Skin Contact        Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate    
    medical attention.
    Inhalation        If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get    
    medical attention if symptoms appear.
    Serious Inhalation        Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or    
    waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth
    resuscitation. Seek medical attention.
    Ingestion        Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an    
    unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately. Loosen tight
    clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.

    Small Spill        Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal. If necessary:    
    Neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of sodium carbonate.
    Large Spill        Toxic flammable liquid, insoluble or very slightly soluble in water.    
    Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Stop leak if without risk. Absorb with DRY earth,
    sand or other non-combustible material. Do not get water inside container. Do not touch spilled material. Prevent
    residue with a dilute solution of sodium carbonate. Be careful that the product is not present at a

Section 7. Handling and Storage
    Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not
    Precautions
    ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes/ vapor/spray. Wear suitable protective clothing. If ingested, seek medical
    advice immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from
    incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, reducing agents.
    Storage        Store in a segregated and approved area. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly    
    closed and sealed until ready for use. Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame).
    Congealing of solids and separation of the material may occur during prolonged storrage at low temperature. It
    then may appear as solid phase with the liquid on top of the solid.

Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
    Engineering Controls        Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their    
    respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the
    work-station location.
    Personal Protection        Safety glasses or splash goggles. Lab coat. Gloves (impervious).    
    Respiratory protection is not necessary for normal handling. Adequate general (room) ventilation or local exhaust
    (fume hood) is sufficient. Use a vapor respirator under conditions where exposure to the substance is apparent
    (e.g. generation of high concentrations of mist or vapor, inadequate ventilation, development of respiratory tract
    irritation), and engineering controls are not feasible. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.
    Personal Protection in Case of Splash goggles. Full suit. Vapor respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be
    a Large Spill        used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist    
    BEFORE handling this product.

    diarrhea, abdominal pain. It also may affect the urinary system, cardiovascular system (pulse rate, blood
    pressure), behavior/central nervous system (somnolence, generally depressed activity, irritability, headache,
    dizziness, drowsiness, hallucinations/distorted perceptions, coma), liver, and respiratory system (breathing
    difficulty, respiratory depression, pulmonary edema).
