2 4. Eye contact contact First aid measures Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Notes to physician If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention if symptoms appear. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention if symptoms appear. No specific antidote. Medical staff must contact Poison Control Center. 5. Fire-fighting measures Flammability of the product Extinguishing media Suitable Not suitable Special exposure hazards Special protective equipment for fire-fighters 6. Non-flammable. Accidental release measures Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire. None known. No specific hazard. Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode. Personal precautions Use suitable protective equipment. Environmental precautions Avoid dispersal of spilled material, runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Methods for cleaning up For small spills, add absorbent (soil may be used in the absence of other suitable materials), scoop up material and place in a sealable, liquid-proof container for disposal. For large spills, dike spilled material or otherwise contain material to ensure runoff does not reach a waterway. Place spilled material in an appropriate container for disposal. 7. Handling Storage 8. Handling and storage Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Keep container closed. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Exposure controls/personal protection Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits. Engineering measures Personal protection Respiratory Hands Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust, fumes, vapor or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits. Safety glasses. Lab coat. A respirator is not needed under normal and intended conditions of use. Natural rubber (latex). Date of issue 9/2/211 Page 2/5

3 HMIS Code/Personal B protective equipment Personal protection in case Safety glasses, goggles or face shield. Impervious gloves. Full suit. Boots. Wear NIOSHapproved of a large spill Hygiene measures self-contained breathing apparatus or equivalent and full protective gear. Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling compounds and before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the day. Follow good industrial hygiene practice. 9.
