Section 4 First Aid Measures

Eyes
If material gets into the eyes, immediately flush eyes gently with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids apart- If symptoms develop as a result of vapor exposure, immediately move individual away from exposure and into fresh air before flushing as recommended above, Seek immediate medical attention, If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from exposure and into fresh air, Flush eyes gently with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids apart; seek immediate medical attention.

Skin
Remove contaminated clothing. Flush exposed area with large amounts of water. If skin is damaged, seek immediate medical attention. If skin is not damaged and symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Launder clothing before reuse. Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed area with soap and water. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Launder clothing before reuse.

Ingestion
Seek medical attention. If individual is drowsy or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth; place individual on the left side with the head down. Contact a physician, medical facility, or poison control center for advice about whether to induce vomiting. If possible, do not leave individual unattended.

Inhalation
If symptoms develop, move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Keep person warm and quiet; seek immediate medical attention.

Notes to physician
Hazards, No information available.
Treatment, No information available.

Section 5 FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable extinguishing media
Alcohol-resistant foam, Dry chemical, Water spray, Carbon dioxide (C02)

Hazardous combustion products
May form:, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide

Precautions for fire-fighting
If product is heated above its flash point it will produce vapors sufficient to support combustion. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along the ground and be ignited by beat, pilot lights, other flames and ignition sources at locations near the point of release. Never use welding or cutting torch on or near drum (even empty) because product (even just residue) can ignite explosively. Forms peroxides of unknown stability. Wear full firefighting turn-out gear (full Bunker gear), and respiratory protection (SCBA).-

Flammability Class for Flammable Liquids
Combustible Liquid Class IIIA

Section 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions
For personal protection see section 8. Eliminate all ignition sources (flares, flames including pilot lights, electrical sparks). Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been completed. Stop spill at source. Prevent from entering drains, sewers, streams or other bodies of water. Prevent from spreading. If runoff occurs, notify authorities as required. Pump or vacuum transfer spilled product to clean containers for recovery. Absorb unrecoverable product. Transfer contaminated absorbent, soil and other materials to containers for disposal.

Environmental precautions
No data

Methods for cleaning up
No data

Section 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling
Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since emptied containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or solid), all hazard precautions given in the data sheet must be observed, Static ignition hazard can result from handling and use, Electrically bond and ground all containers, personnel and equipment before transfer or use of material Special precautions may be necessary to dissipate static electricity for non-conductive containers, Use proper bonding and grounding during product transfer as described in National Fire Protection Association document NFPA 77.

Storage
Possible peroxide former. Do not allow to evaporate to near dryness; store away from light and heat. Store under nitrogen after opening. Periodically test product stored for long periods for peroxide formation. Addition of water or appropriate reducing materials will lessen peroxide formation.

Section 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Exposure Guidelines

General advice
These recommendations provide general guidance for handling this product. Personal protective equipment should be selected for individual applications and should consider factors which affect exposure potential, such as handling practices, chemical concentrations and ventilation. It is ultimately the responsibility of the employer to follow regulatory guidelines established by local authorities.

Exposure controls
Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to maintain exposure below level of overexposure (from known, suspected or apparent adverse effects).

Eye protection
Chemical splash goggles in compliance with OSHA regulations are advised; however, OSHA regulations also permit other type safety glasses. Consult your safety representative.

Skin and body protection
Wear resistant gloves (consult your safety equipment supplier). To prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact, wear impervious clothing and boots.

Respiratory protection
If overexposure has been determined or documented, a NIOSH-approved air supplied respirator is advised in absence of proper environmental control. OSHA regulations also permit other NIOSH respirators under specified conditions. (See your safety equipment supplier.) Engineering or administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure.
