=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL AID FOR ALL ROUTES OF EXPOSURE. EYES:
    DON'T ALLOW VICTIM TO RUB EYES. EXTENSIVE IRRIGATION (>30 MIN.)
    REQUIRED. SKIN: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF SOAP & WATER (15
    MIN. MINIM UM) WHILE REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING & SHOES.
    INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IF VICTIM IS CONSCIOUS & ALERT,
    GIVE 2-4 CUPFULS OF MILK OR WATER. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO
    AN UNCONSCIOUS P ERSON. WASH MOUTH OUT WITH WATER. INHALATION:
    REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE. DO NOT GIVE MOUTH-TO-MOUTH RESPIRATION. GIVE
    OXYGEN.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:NON-COMBUSTIBLE
Extinguishing Media:USE WATER ONLY!  DO NOT USE CARBON DIOXIDE, OR DRY
    CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:STRONG OXIDIZER.  WEAR A SELF-CONTAINED
    BREATHING APPARATUS IN PRESSURE-DEMAND, MSHA/NIOSH (APPROVED OR
    EQUIVALENT), & FULL PROTECTIVE GEAR. DIKE & COLLECT WATER USED TO
    FIGHT FIRE.  USE WATER SPRAY T O KEEP FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL.
    VAPORS CAN SPREAD ALONG THE GROUND & COLLECT IN LOW OR CONFINED
    PLACES.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONTACT WITH COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS MAY
    CAUSE A FIRE. DURING A FIRE, IRRITATING & HIGH TOXIC GASES MAY BE
    GENERATED. SOME OXIDIZERS MAY REACT EXPLOSIVELY WITH HYDROCARBONS
    (FUEL). MAY DECOMPOSE EXPLOSI VELY WHEN HEATED OR INVOLVED IN A
    FIRE. MAY ACCELERATE BURNING IF INVOLVED IN A FIRE.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:AVOID RUNOFF INTO WATERWAYS. CLEAN UP SPILLS
    IMMEDIATELY. USE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. USE WATER SPRAY TO DISPERSE
    THE GAS/VAPOR. REMOVE IGNITION SOURCES. ABSORB SPILL USING AN
    ABSORBENT, NON-COMBUSTIBLE	MATERIAL. FLUSH SPILL AREA WITH WATER.
    PROVIDE VENTILATION. DO NOT GET WATER INSIDE CONTAINERS. KEEP
    COMBUSTIBLES AWAY FROM SPILL.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:USE ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREAS.
    CONTENTS MAY DEVELOP PRESSURE UPON STORAGE. KEEP CONTAINER TIGHTLY
    CLOSED. AVOID CONTACT WITH COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. STORE PROTECTED
    FROM LIGHT. KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT,  SPARKS, & FLAME. STORE IN A COOL,
    DRY, WELL-VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM INCOMPATIBLE SUBSTANCES.
Other Precautions:UNUSED CHEMICALS SHOULD NOT BE RETURNED TO THE
    CONTAINER. RINSE EMPTY DRUMS & CONTAINERS THOROUGHLY WITH WATER
    BEFORE DISCARDING. KEEP AWAY FROM ALKALIES, OXIDIZABLE MATERIALS,
    FINELY DIVIDED METALS,  ALCOHOLS, & PERMANGANATE. STORE BELOW 35C.
    STORE ONLY IN LIGHT-RESISTENT CONTAINERS FITTED WITH A SA FETY
    VENT.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:A RESPIRATORY PROTECTION PROGRAM THAT MEETS
    OSHA'S 29CFR1910.134 & ANSI Z88.2 REQUIREMENTS OR EUROPEAN STANDARD
    EN 149 MUST BE FOLLOWED WHENEVER WORKPLACE CONDITIONS WARRANT A
    RESPIRATOR'S USE.
Protective Gloves:WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE GLOVES.
Eye Protection:WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE EYEGLASSES OR CHEMICAL
    SPLASH GOGGLES.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. REMOVE
    CONTAMINATED CLOTHING & WASH BEFORE REUSE. DO NOT GET IN EYES, ON
    SKIN, OR ON CLOTHING. DO NOT INGEST OR INHALE. DISCARD CONTAMINATED
