SECTION 7 -
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES |
| Eye contact |
Immediately flush
eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Hold eyelids open during this flushing
with water. Seek immediate medical attention. |
SECTION 7 -
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES - Continued |
| Skin contact |
Immediately wash
thoroughly with soap and water, then flush with plenty of water. Remove contaminated
clothing and do not reuse before washing. Call a physician. |
| Ingestion |
Call a physician.
Unless otherwise advised by a physician, induce vomiting by giving syrup of Ipecac
followed by two glasses of water or by sticking finger down throat. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. |
| Inhalation |
Remove to fresh air.
If not breathing, administer artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. |
| Note to physician
(antidotes) |
No specific antidote
is known. Therapy is directed at preventing absorption. Administering to the symptoms as
they occur, and providing supportive therapy. |

PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT INFORMATION |
| Respiratory
protection |
Use NIOSH/NSHA
approved dust/mist filter respirator for routine work purposes when exposure to dusts or
mists exceed the permissible exposure level (PEL). The respirator use limitations made by
NIOSH-NHSA or the manufacturer must be observed. Respiratory protection programs must be
in accordance with 20 CFR 1910.134. |
| Ventilation |
Use ventilation
adequate to keep exposures to hazardous ingredients below their Threshold Limit Values
(TLV) or Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) (See Section 2). Local exhaust should be
sufficient to maintain dust and mist levels below PEL. |
| Eye protection |
Chemical splash
goggles if eye contact is likely. |
| Protective gloves |
Impervious gloves
(rubber, nitrile or neoprene). |
| Other protective
equipment |
Appropriate
protective clothing if working with concentrated products. Products at use dilution may
present less risk but protective clothing should still be worn. |
| |
SECTION 10
- ENVIRONMENTAL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION |
| Material spill or
release |
Steps to be taken:
Stop discharge and contain spill or contaminated material using dike barrier or absorbent.
Recover by pumping material into suitable DOT approved waste containers for further
handling. Do not flush in stream or other bodies of water. KEEP OUT OF SEWERS, STORM
DRAINS, WASTE WATER AND SOIL. |
| Waste disposal method |
Dispose of
contaminated material in accordance with all Federal, State and Local regulations.
Disposal methods:
1. Recycle if feasible
2. Treatment at industrial or liquid waste facility. |
