COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Component Weight % CAS # Sorbitan monolaurate, ethoxylated EINECS# / ELINCS# Formula Molecular Weight > C 58 H 114 O g/mol 4. FIRST-AID MEASURES Inhalation Ingestion Rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Move casualty to fresh air and keep at rest. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and wash using soap. Do Not Induce Vomiting! Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If conscious, wash out mouth with water. 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES Suitable (and unsuitable) extinguishing media Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters Specific hazards arising from the chemical Apply dry chemical, spray water, foam, or carbon dioxide. Wear self-contained, approved breathing apparatus and full protective clothing, including eye protection and boots. Emits toxic fumes (carbon oxides) under fire conditions. See also Stability and Reactivity section. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Environmental precautions Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up See section 8 for recommendations on the use of personal protective equipment. Prevent spillage from entering drains. Any release to the environment may be subject to a federal/national or local reporting requirements. Neutralize spill with sodium bicarbonate or lime.
