Composition comments
All concentrations are in percent by weight unless ingredient is a gas. Gas concentrations are in
percent by volume.
4. First Aid Measures
First aid procedures
Eye contact
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If frostbite occurs, immediately
flush eyes with plenty of warm water (not exceeding 105°F/41°C) for at least 15 minutes. If easy to
do, remove contact lenses. Continue rinsing. Get medical attention if irritation develops and
persists.
Skin contact
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
clothing and shoes. If frostbite occurs, immerse affected area in warm water (not exceeding
105°F/41°C). Keep immersed for 20 to 40 minutes. Get medical attention immediately. Wash
clothing separately before reuse. Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes.
Inhalation
If inhalation of gas/fume/vapor/dust/mist from the material is excessive (air concentration is
greater than the TLV or health effects are noticed), immediately remove the affected person(s) to
fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention, if needed.
Ingestion
Rinse mouth thoroughly. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low
so that stomach vomit doesn't enter the lungs. Never give anything by mouth to a victim who is
unconscious or is having convulsions. Get medical attention immediately.
Notes to physician
In case of shortness of breath, give oxygen. Keep victim warm. Keep victim under observation.
Symptoms may be delayed.
General advice
Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Ensure that medical personnel are aware
of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Show this safety data
sheet to the doctor in attendance. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Flammable properties
Flammable by OSHA criteria. Flammable aerosol - may cause flash fire. Aerosol containers can
explode when heated, due to excessive pressure build-up. Aerosol cans involved in fire may
rupture and become projectiles.
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing
media
Water. Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Unsuitable extinguishing
media
Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
Protection of firefighters
Specific hazards arising
from the chemical
Contents under pressure. Pressurized container may explode when exposed to heat or flame.
Protective equipment and
precautions for firefighters
Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame retardant coat, helmet with
face shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in enclosed spaces, SCBA. Fight fire from maximum
distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Move containers from fire area if you
can do so without risk. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or
any discoloration of tanks due to fire. Containers should be cooled with water to prevent vapor
pressure build up. Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. For
massive fire in cargo area, use unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles, if possible. If not,
withdraw and let fire burn out. Water runoff can cause environmental damage.
Special protective equipment
for fire-fighters
Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained positive pressure or pressure
demand breathing apparatus, protective clothing and face mask.
Specific methods
In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.
Hazardous combustion
products
Carbon monoxide. Carbon Dioxide. Silicon oxides. Nitrogen oxides (NOx).
6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages
cannot be contained. Keep upwind. Keep out of low areas. Ventilate closed spaces before
entering them. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate
protective clothing. See Section 8 of the MSDS for Personal Protective Equipment.
Environmental precautions
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not contaminate water.
Methods for containment
ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Stop
leak if you can do so without risk. Move the cylinder to a safe and open area if the leak is
irreparable. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas.
