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.
Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.
Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical attention if irritation develops.
Cold water may be used.

Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal
container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and
regional authority requirements.
Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal. Finish cleaning by
spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system. Be careful that
the product is not present at a concentration level above TLV. Check TLV on the MSDS and with local authorities.

Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not
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. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Precautions
Storage
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.
Safety glasses. Synthetic apron or Lab coat. Gloves (impervious).
Respiratory Protection: Adequate general room ventilation or local exhaust ventiliation is sufficient for normal
handling at room temperature. Also, respiratory protection is not necessary for normal handling at room
temperature since exposure to vapor is minimal due to low vapor pressure. If room ventilation is inadequate
and/or if handling of material generates airborne concentrations of mist or vapor above the recommended
exposure guidelines, a vapor respirator may be necessary.
Splash goggles. Full suit. Boots. Gloves. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a
specialist BEFORE handling this product.
TWA: 10 (mg/m3) from AIHA
Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits.

Not available.
Acute Potential Health Effects:
Skin: May cause mild skin irritation. It can be absorbed through the skin.
Eyes: May cause mild, temporary eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely.
Inhalation: Low hazard. At room temperature, exposure to vapor is minimal due to low volatility (vapor pressure).
If product is heated, inhalation of vapor may cause respiratory tract irritation.
Ingestion: Low hazard. Low toxicity. May cause gastrointestinal tract irritation which may include nausea and
vomiting. May affect urinary system.
Chronic Potential Health Effects:
Chronic occupational exposure is mainly limited to dermal contact. Prolonged or repeated contact may cause
delayed eczematous and immediate uticarial reactions, and contact dermatitis.
Ingestion: Prolonged or repeated ingestion may affect urinary system (kidney, ureter, or bladder), liver,
metabolism(weight loss).
This product contains trace amounts of the following which may cause cancer:
Acetaldehyde (<=0.0006%)
