Substances / Mixtures
General information:
Eye contact: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do,
remove contact lenses. Call a physician or poison control center
immediately. In case of irritation from airborne exposure, move to fresh air.
Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
Skin contact: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash
contaminated clothing before reuse. Destroy or thoroughly clean
contaminated shoes.
Most important symptoms and Narcotic effect. May irritate and cause redness and pain.
effects, both acute and

Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing Water spray. Dry chemical. Carbon Dioxide. Foam.
media:
Special hazards arising from Vapors may cause a flash fire or ignite explosively. Vapors may travel
the substance or mixture: considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. Prevent
buildup of vapors or gases to explosive concentrations. May form peroxides
of unknown stability.
Special protective Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be
equipment for fire-fighters: worn in case of fire.
Methods and material for Eliminate sources of ignition. Absorb spill with vermiculite or other inert
containment and cleaning material, then place in a container for chemical waste. Large Spillages: Use
up: water spray to disperse vapors and flush spill area. Prevent runoff from
entering drains, sewers, or streams. Dike for later disposal.
Notification Procedures: In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in
accordance with all applicable regulations.
Precautions for safe handling: Avoid breathing mists or vapors. Do not get in eyes and avoid contact with
skin and clothing. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Minimize exposure to air. If peroxide formation is suspected, do
not open or move container.
Conditions for safe storage, Keep container tightly closed and in a well-ventilated place. Store away
including any from heat and light.

Contaminants (29 CFR 1910.1000) (02 2006)
Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used.
controls: Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use
process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls
to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If
exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an
acceptable level.
Eye/face protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) and a face shield.
Skin protection
Hand Protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, footwear, and protective clothing
appropriate for the risk of exposure. Contact health and safety professional
or manufacturer for specific information.
