4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
Skin contact: Remove/Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Gently wash with plenty of
soap and water. If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get medical advice/attention.

and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: Get medical
advice/attention.
Ingestion: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. Rinse mouth.

Protection of first-aiders: A rescuer should wear personal protective equipment, such as rubber gloves and air-
tight goggles.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing
media:
Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide.
Extinguishing media not to
be used:
Water (It may scatter and spread fire.)
Specific methods: Fire-extinguishing work is done from the windward and the suitable fire-extinguishing
method according to the surrounding situation is used. Uninvolved persons should
evacuate to a safe place. In case of fire in the surroundings: Keep containers cool by
spraying with water. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so.
Special protective
equipment for firefighters:
When extinguishing fire, be sure to wear personal protective equipment.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions,
protective equipment and
emergency procedures:
Use extra personal protective equipment (self-contained breathing apparatus). Keep
people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Ensure adequate ventilation. Entry to non-
involved personnel should be controlled around the leakage area by roping off, etc.
Environmental precautions: Prevent product from entering drains.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning
up:
Absorb spilled material in dry sand or inert absorbent before recovering it into an
airtight container. In case of large amount of spillage, contain a spill by bunding.
Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with
appropriate laws and regulations.
Prevention of secondary
hazards:
Remove all sources of ignition. Fire-extinguishing devices should be prepared in
case of a fire. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Technical measures: Handling is performed in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective equipment.
Prevent generation of vapor or mist. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flame/hot
surfaces. -No smoking. Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic
charge. Use explosion-proof equipment. Wash hands and face thoroughly after
handling.
Use a closed system if possible. Use a ventilation, local exhaust if vapor or aerosol
will be generated.
Advice on safe handling: Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Confirm in advance if peroxides exist when operations involving heating such as
distillation are carried out.
Storage
Storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed. Store in a cool, dark and well-ventilated place.
Store locked up.
Store away from incompatible materials such as oxidizing agents.
Packaging material: Law is followed.
