4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Eye Exposure:
Hold eyelids open and flush with a steady, gentle stream of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek immediate medical attention, preferably with an
ophthalmologist. If a physician is not immediately available, eye irrigation should be continued for an additional 15 minutes.

Skin Exposure:
Immediately wipe excess material off skin with a dry cloth then wash with plenty of soap and water for at least 5 minutes. See medical attention if
irritation develops or persists. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes and clean thoroughly before re-use.

Inhalation:
Remove from immediate source of exposure and assure that victim is breathing. If not breathing, administer cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). If
breathing is difficult, administer oxygen if available. Seek medical attention.

Ingestion:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 1-2 glasses of water to drink. Do not give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Seek medical attention immediately. Do not leave victim unattended. To prevent aspiration of swallowed product, lay victim on
side with head lower than waist. Vomiting may occur spontaneously. If vomiting occurs and the victim is conscious, give water to further dilute the
chemical.

Medical Conditions Possibly Aggravated by Exposure:

Inhalation of product may aggravate existing chromic respiratory problems such as asthma, emphysema or bronchitis. Skin contact may aggravate
existing skin disease.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal Protection: Wear goggles, protective clothing, chemical resistant gloves, and rubber boots. Use NIOSH approved respirator
to prevent inhalation of dust.
Spill Cleanup: Collect material with precaution against breathing dust and dispose in accordance with federal, state and local
regulations.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling: Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing dust. Keep container closed. Promptly clean
residue from closures with cloth dampened with water. Promptly clean up spills.
Storage: Store in an area that is cool, dry, and well ventilated. Keep containers closed. Store in clean plastic or metal
containers.
