Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, seek medical advice if redness or irritation persists
Skin Contact: Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, consult a healthcare provider for persistent irritation
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, provide oxygen if breathing becomes difficult, seek medical attention if symptoms develop
Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly with water, do not induce vomiting, contact a physician if large quantities are swallowed or if any symptoms occur
Extinguishing Media: Use carbon dioxide, dry chemical, or foam extinguishers—water spray for cooling containers
Special Hazards: Combustion may generate carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and small amounts of acrolein
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus
Firefighting Advice: Evacuate non-essential personnel, prevent runoff into drains and waterways, and monitor for toxic fumes
Personal Precautions: Wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection, prevent product from coming into contact with skin or eyes
Environmental Precautions: Use absorbent materials such as sand or earth to contain spill, prevent product from entering storm drains or sewers
Cleanup Methods: Collect spilled liquid with inert material and place in appropriate waste containers, wash spill area with water and detergent, ventilate area thoroughly
Handling: Use with standard industrial hygiene practices, avoid ingestion or inhalation of mists, wash hands after handling
Safe Storage: Store in tightly-sealed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, strong oxidizers, and high temperatures
Incompatibilities: Strong acids, strong oxidizing agents, concentrated alkalis
Additional Advice: Store product separately from food and beverage materials
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits
Engineering Controls: Ensure good general and local exhaust ventilation
Personal Protective Equipment: Protective gloves made of nitrile or neoprene, chemical splash goggles, and standard protective work clothing
Respiratory Protection: Use suitable respiratory equipment if mist or aerosol generation becomes likely
Hygiene Measures: Avoid eating, drinking, or smoking in work areas, always wash hands thoroughly after handling the product
