SAFETY STATEMENTS:
             S24/25         Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

EYE CONTACT:
  For eyes, flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes & get medical attention.

SKIN CONTACT:
 In case of contact with skin immediately remove contaminated clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap
 & water. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

INHALATION:
 After high vapor exposure, remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing has  stopped give artificial respiration.

SWALLOWING:
ANTIDOTE:
  If swallowed, Do NOT induce vomiting. Have patient lie down & keep warm. Vomiting may lead to severe  damage to esophagus which may be fatal. Give large amounts of water. Give at least one ounce of milk  of magnesia or aluminum hydroxide gel in an equal amount of water. If unavailable, give the white of 2 or  3 eggs. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. CALL A PHYSICIAN.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
  Use appropriate NFPA fire extinguishers for surrounding liquid fires.

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
   Water spray may be ineffective on fire but can protect fire-fighters & cool closed containers. Use fog nozzles if water is used.
  Do not enter confined fire-space without full bunker gear. (Helmet with face shield, bunker coats, gloves & rubber boots). Use NIOSH approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.

UNUSUAL EXPLOSION AND FIRE PROCEDURES
  Reacts with most metals producing hydrogen which is extremely flammable & may explode. Keep   container tightly closed.
  Isolate from oxidizers, alkalis, heat, & open flame. Applying to hot surfaces requires special precautions.   Closed containers may explode if exposed to extreme heat. Empty container very hazardous! Continue   all label precautions!



CONTAINMENT TECHNIQUES
  Stop spill at source. Dike area & contain.

CLEAN-UP PROCEDURES:
  Neutralize with soda ash & dilute with plenty of water. Pump spilled liquid & put contaminated soil in DOT   approved containers for disposal. Label immediately. Clean up remainder with absorbent materials. Wet   down with plenty of water & remove immediately.



HANDLING
  Isolate from oxidizers, alkalis, heat, & open flame. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid or repeated   breathing of vapor or spray mist. Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing. Wear OSHA Standard full face   shield. Consult Safety Equipment Supplier. Wear gloves, apron & footwear impervious to this material.   Wash clothing before reuse. Avoid free fall of liquid. Ground containers when transferring. Do not flame   cut, braze, or weld. Empty container very hazardous! Continue all label precautions!

STORAGE
  Do not store above 49 C/120 F. Keep container tightly closed & upright when not in use to prevent   leakage. Reacts with most metals producing hydrogen which is extremely flammable & may explode.   Wear full face shield, gloves & full protective clothing when opening or handling. When empty, drain   completely, replace bungs securely.

RESPIRATORY EXPOSURE CONTROLS
  A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z86.2 requirements or   European Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator’s use

VENTILATION
  LOCAL EXHAUST                 : Necessary
