AS APPROPRIATE FOR COMBUSTIBLES IN AREA.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES

USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL TANKS AND CONTROL VAPORS. RUNOFF FROM FIRE CONTROL MAY CAUSE POLLUTION. NEUTRALIZE WITH CHEMICALLY ALKALINE SUBSTANCES (SUCH AS SODA ASH OR LIME) TO PREVENT CORROSION OF METALS AND FORMATION OF HYDROGEN. FOR POTENTIAL EXPOSURE TO ACID OR FUMES, WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WITH HOOD AND BREATHING AIR SUPPLY.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

REACTS WITH METALS TO GIVE OFF HYDROGEN WHICH IS FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.

SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
PRIMARY ROUTES OR ENTRY __X___Inhalation __X___Skin contact __X___Eye contact _____Ingestion
EFFECT OF OVEREXPOSURE

EXCESSIVE CONTACT CAN CAUSE EYE AND SKIN BURNS. INGESTION CAUSES SEVERE BURNS TO MOUTH, ESOPHAGUS AND STOMACH. VAPORS EXTREMELY IRRITATING.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE

INGESTION: SEVERE DAMAGE TO INTERNAL ORGANS (ESOPHAGUS & PYLORUS) WILL OCCUR IF SWALLOWED IN LARGE QUANTITIES.

INHALATION: FUMES FROM PRODUCT CAN CAUSE INJURY TO RESPIRATORY TRACT. SEVERE EXPOSURE CAN CAUSE LUNG DAMAGE.

SKIN CONTACT: PROLONGED CONTACT CAUSES BURNS, SKIN IRRITATION WITH DISCOMFORT AND RASH.

EYE CONTACT: WILL CAUSE EYE BURN AND IRRITATION WITH DISCOMFORT, TEARING OR BLURRING OF VISION.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES

REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. FLUSH AFFECTED PARTS PROMPTLY WITH COPIOUS QUANTITIES OF WATER.

FOR INHALATED TREATMENT, REMOVE PATIENT TO CLEAN AIR, AND IF NECESSARY SUPPLY OXYGEN FOR BREATHING.
