Section 4: First Aid Measures Eye Contact:
Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush
eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Cold
water may be used. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of
water. Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with running water and
non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and
groin. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. If irritation persists, seek
medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.
Serious Skin Contact: Not available.
Inhalation: Allow
the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.

with eyes Wear suitable protective clothing If you feel unwell, seek medical
attention and show the label when possible.
Storage: Keep container dry. Keep in a cool place. Ground all
equipment containing material. Keep container tightly closed. Keep in a cool,
well-ventilated place. Combustible materials should be stored away from extreme
heat and away from strong oxidizing agents.
Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Engineering
Controls:
