ADMINISTRATION
No specific information is available concerning chronic
effects of exposure.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Rinse mouth and throat with water if only mouth contact
occurs. If ingested, give two glasses of water. Get medical
attention. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious
or convulsing person. Wash affected area of skin with soap

In case of skin contact, wash affected area of skin
thoroughly with soap and water and remove and wash
contaminated clothing and equipment before reuse. If skin
irritation persists after washing, seek medical attention.
In case of inhalation, remove from area of exposure; if
allergic symptoms occur in 0-48 hours, seek medical
attention.
If eye contact occurs rinse thoroughly with water for 15
minutes, lifting and lowering upper and lower eye lids, seek
immediate medical attention.
WARNING STATEMENTS
CAUTION! MAY CAUSE SKIN OR EYE IRRITATION. STORE IN COOL DRY
PLACE. AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN AND CLOTHING AND EXCESSIVE
INHALATION. WASH HANDS, CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT AFTER USE.
Section 7 - Spill, Leak, & Disposal Information
WASTE DISPOSAL Dispose of in a sanitary chemical landfill
which complies with all local, state, and federal
regulations.
SPILL OR LEAKAGE PROCEDURES Wear suitable clothing and
protective equipment. Dam and recover or mop up bulk
material without releasing aerosol and reuse wherever
possible; where contaminated or unusable, absorb on suitable
material and dispose of by landfilling.
Section 8 - Safe Handling & Use Information
Permissible Concentrations: Not established
Respiratory Protection: Wear suitable NIOSH-approved masks
or respiratory protector where local ventilation exhaust is
not available or aerosol situations are likely to result.
Ventilation: Provide ventilation to prevent ambient air
entrainment of fugitive aerosol material.
Other Protective Equipment: Eye wash facility
Storage and Handling: Maintain good housekeeping, avoid
creating aerosols. Keep out of direct sunlight and in cool
dry place as deterioration of product and loss of activity
may occur under above conditions.
Eye Protection: ANSI approved safety glasses with side
protection or goggles. It is generally recognized that
contact lenses should not be worn when working with
chemicals because contact lenses may contribute to the
severity of an eye injury.
Skin Protection: Long sleeved shirt, trousers, safety shoes,
and impervious gloves.
Hygienic Practices: Wash hands after handling, as well as
any other affected skin areas. Avoid contact with food or
food preparatory surfaces. If this occurs wash the area
thoroughly with suitable detergent and water. Remove and
wash contaminated clothing.
Section 9 - Special Precautions
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING Maintain
good housekeeping, avoid creating aerosols. For maintenance
of product quality, store in dry cool (under 110°F)
warehouse conditions.
