Remove contaminated clothing. For treatment advice, seek guidance from an occupational health physician or other licensed health-care provider f amiliar with workplace chemical exposures. In the United States, the national poison control center phone number is 1-800-222-1222. If person is not breathing, give artif icial respiration. If breathing is dif f icult, give oxygen if available. Persons developing serious hypersensitivity (anaphylactic) reactions must receive immediate medical attention. If Inhaled Move to fresh air. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist. In Case of Skin Contact Rinse skin with water/shower. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. In Case of Eye Contact Rinse with water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. If Swallowed Rinse mouth. If ingestion of a large amount does occur, call a poison control center immediately. Most Important Symptoms and Effects No data available Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures Suitable Extinguishing Media Use f ire-extinguishing media appropriate f or surrounding materials.Water. Foam. Dry chemical or CO2. Special Hazards Arising From the Substance/Mixture No unusual f ire or explosion hazards noted. Special PPE and/or Precautions for Firefighters Wear suitable protective equipment. Use water spray to cool unopened containers. As with all f ires, evacuate personnel to a saf e area. Firef ighters should use self-contained breathing equipment and protective clothing. Use standard f iref ighting procedure and consider the hazards of other involved materials. Page 1 of 4 Section 6: Accidental Release Measures Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures Keep unnecessary personnel away. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid inhalation of dust from the spilled material. Avoid inhalation of dust from the spilled material. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Methods and Materials Used for Containment Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container f or disposal. Avoid the generation of dusts during clean-up. For waste disposal, see section 13 of SDS. Wash spill site. Cleanup Procedures Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container f or disposal. Avoid the generation of dusts during clean-up. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS. Wash spill site. Section 7: Handling and Storage Precautions for Safe Handling As a general rule, when handling chemicals, avoid all contact and inhalation of dust, mists, and/or vapors associated with the material. Clean equipment and work surf aces with suitable detergent or solvent af ter use. Af ter removing gloves, wash hands and other exposed skin thoroughly. Conditions for Safe Storage Store in tight container as def ined in the USP-NF. This material should be handled and stored per label instructions to ensure product integrity. Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Components with Workplace Control Parameters No biological exposures limits noted f or the ingredients. Appropriate Engineering Controls Airborne exposures should be controlled primarily by engineering controls such as general dilution ventilation, local exhaust ventilation, or process enclosure. Local exhaust ventilation is generally pref erred to general exhaust because it can control the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion into the work area. And industrial hygiene survey involving air monitoring may be used to determine the ef f ectiveness of engineering controls. Ef f ectiveness of engineering controls intended f or use with highly potent materials should be assessed by use of nontoxic surrogate materials. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and saf ety practice. PPE - Eye/Face Protection Saf ety glasses with side shields are recommended. Face shields or goggles may be required if splash potential exists or if corrosive materials are present. Approved eye protection is pref erred. Maintain eyewash f acilities in the work area. PPE - Skin Protection Chemically compatible gloves. For handling solutions, ensure that the glove material is protective against the solvent being used. Use handling practices that minimize direct hand contact. Employees who are sensitive to natural rubber (latex) should use nitrile or other synthetic nonlatex gloves. Use of powdered latex gloves should be avoided due to the risk of latex allergy. PPE - Body Protection Chemically compatible gloves. For handling solutions, ensure that the glove material is protective against the solvent being used. Use handling practices that minimize direct hand contact. Employees who are sensitive to natural rubber (latex) should use nitrile or other synthetic nonlatex gloves. Use of powdered latex gloves should be avoided due to the risk of latex allergy. For handling of laboratory scale quantities, a cloth lab coat is recommended. Where signif icant quantities are handled, work clothing may be necessary to prevent take-home contamination. PPE - Respiratory Protection Where respirators are deemed necessary to reduce or control occupational exposures, use NIOSH-approved respiratory protection and have an ef f ective respirator program in place.
