Section 4 - First-Aid Measures |
| Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Bronchitis, CNS Disorders, allergies, nausea. |
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures |
| Extinguishing Media: Foam, CO2, dry chemical, water fog. |
| Fire Fighting Procedures: Respiratory equipment should be worn to avoid inhalation of concentrated vapors. Water should not be used except as a fog to keep nearby containers cool. |
| Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Handle as a flammable liquid. Vapors form an explosive mixture in air between the lower and upper explosive limits which can be ignited by many sources such as pilot lights, open flames, electric motors and switches. |
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures |
| Steps to be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled: Remove all sources of ignition. Allow volatile portion to evaporate completely. Avoid breathing vapors and remove with inert absorbent. |
| Personal Precautions: |
| Environmental Precautions: |
Section 7 - Handling and Storage |
| General Handling: Keep out of reach of children. |
| Other Precautions: |
| Storage: Do not store or use near heat, sparks or flame. Store in well ventilated area. Keep closure tight and container upright to prevent leakage. Do not puncture or incinerate. Do not spray near fire or open flames. |
