4. First Aid Measures

• Inhalation:
  • Remove to fresh air. Consult physician/medical help if respiratory is not relieved by fresh air. Give artificial respiration or oxygen if necessary.
• Eye Contact:
  • Rinse eyes immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes and contact physician as needed. (S26)
• Skin Contact:
  • Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and water. If irritation persists or if contact has been prolonged, obtain medical attention.
• Ingestion:
  • Wash out mouth with water, do not induce vomiting. Consult physician.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

• Fire point and Auto-Ignition Temperature:
  • Auto-ignition temperature: Not currently available.
• Extinguishing Media:
  • Non-Flammable (aqueous solution): After water evaporates, remaining material will burn. Apply alcohol-type or all-purpose-type foam by manufacturers' recommended techniques for large fires. Use water spray, carbon dioxide or dry chemical media for small fires.
• Extinguishing Media to Avoid:
  • No information currently available.
• Special Fire Fighting Procedure:
  • No information currently available.
• Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters:
  • Use self-contained breathing apparatus when fighting fires in enclosed areas.
  • Hazardous polymerization may occur under fire condition, and toxic fumes may be released.
• Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards
  • Product will not burn but may spatter if temperature exceeds boiling point of water.

6. Accidental Release Measures

• Steps to be taken if Material is Released or Spilled:
  • Small spills can be flushed with large amounts of water: larger spills should be collected for disposal.
