First Aid Measures (Section 4)

👁 Eye Contact
Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of clean water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
🖐 Skin Contact
Wash affected area with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Skin absorption is minimal but repeated contact defattens skin — use barrier cream for regular work.
🫁 Inhalation
Remove to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen and seek medical attention. High concentrations cause CNS depression.
🫦 Ingestion
Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth and give water if conscious. Call Poison Control (1-800-222-1222). Aspiration hazard is low but seek medical evaluation.

Storage & Handling

🔒 Storage & Handling: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area in approved flammable storage cabinets. Keep away from ignition sources, heat, and oxidizers. Keep containers tightly closed.

PPE Requirements

Chemical splash goggles
Nitrile or neoprene gloves
Flame-resistant clothing in high-concentration areas
Organic vapour respirator if ventilation is inadequate
