First aid procedures
Eye contact
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove contactlenses. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. In case of irritation from airborneexposure, move to fresh air. Get medical attention immediately.
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminatedclothing and shoes. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Wash clothingseparately before reuse. Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes.
Move to fresh air. If breathing stops, provide artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, giveoxygen. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.
Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs,the head should be kept low so that stomach vomit doesn't enter the lungs.Keep victim under observation. Treat symptomatically.
In the case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show the labelwhere possible). Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Ensure that medicalpersonnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves.

Hazardous combustion products
Personal precautions
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during
clean-up. Keep upwind. Keep out of low areas. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them.Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses oronto the ground.
Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible.Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas.

Methods for cleaning up
Large Spills: Dike far ahead of spill for later disposal. Use a non-combustible material likevermiculite, sand or earth to soak up the product and place into a container for later disposal.Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly toremove residual contamination.
Never return spills in original containers for re-use. Clean up in accordance with all applicableregulations. Neutralize spill area and washings with soda ash or lime. Collect in anon-combustible container for prompt disposal.
J. T. Baker NEUTRASORB acid neutralizers are recommended for spills of this product.

Engineering controls
Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation ratesshould be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation,or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. Ifexposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) and a face shield.
Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposurelimits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have notbeen established), an approved respirator must be worn. Respirator type: Chemical respiratorwith specific cartridge and full facepiece providing protection against the compound of concern.Provide eyewash station and safety shower. Always observe good personal hygiene measures,such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking.Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants.
Wear chemical protective equipment that is specifically recommended by the manufacturer.Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.
