Section 4: First Aid Measures
Inhalation First Aid
Remove victim to fresh air. If respiratory irritation occurs or if breathing
is difficult, get medical attention. If breathing has stopped, give artificial
respiration. Maintain airway and administer oxygen if available. Get medical
attention immediately.
Skin Contact - First Aid
Immediately remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash skin with soap and
plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Do not attempt to neutralize with
chemical agents. Get medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Thoroughly clean or destroy contaminated shoes.
Eye Contact - First Aid
Immediately flush eyes with large quantities of running water for
a minimum of 15 minutes. If the victim is wearing contact lenses,
remove them. Hold the eyelids apart during the flushing to ensure rinsing
of the entire surface of the eye and lids with water. DO NOT let the victim
rub eyes(s). Do not attempt to neutralize with chemical agents. Oils or
ointments should not be used at this time. Get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion - First Aid
Get medical attention by calling a physician or a poison control
center immediately. Give victim plenty of water to drink. Induce
vomiting as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth
to an unconscious or convulsing person. Get medical attention immediately.
Medical Conditions Aggravated
There are no data available that address medical condition that are generally
recognized as being aggravated by exposure to this product.
Note to Physician
Attending physician should treat exposed patients symptomatically.
Chemical burns on the skin should be treated as thermal burns.
Flush eyes with buffered or plain irrigating solutions. If any
ulceration or conjunctival injury is present, have an ophthalmologist
examine the patient.

Extinguishing Media
Use water fog, dry powder, foam or carbon dioxide extinguishing agents.
Use of a direct, high pressure water stream may scatter spilled material.
Dike fire control water for later disposal.
Fire Fighting Procedures:
As in any fire, prevent human exposure to fire, smoke,
fumes or products of combustion. Evacuate non-essential
personnel from the fire area. Fire fighters should wear
full-face, self-contained breathing apparatus and impervious
protective clothing. If not leaking, keep fire exposed containers
cool with a water fog or spray to prevent rupture due to excessive
heat. High pressure water may spread product from broken containers
increasing contamination or fire hazard.
Contaminated buildings, areas and equipment must not be used
until they are properly decontaminated. Dike fire water for
later disposal. Do not allow contaminated water to enter
waterways.
Fire and Explosion Hazards
This product is not defined as flammable or combustible.
However, it may decompose under fire conditions to give off
toxic materials such as phosphorous oxides and flammable organic
substituents. The product is self-extinguishing once the source
of ignition is removed.
Other Fire and Explosion Hazards
No other explosion hazards of this product are known.
Hazardous Products/Combustion
Under fire conditions this product may support combustion and
decompose to give off flammable alkene and phosphoric oxides as
well as carbon oxides. The product is self-extinguishing once
the source of ignition is removed. It is not sensitive to static
discharge.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Clean up:
Stop source of spill. Dike area to prevent spill from
spreading. Soak up liquid with suitable absorbent such
as clay, sawdust, or kitty litter. Sweep up absorbed
material and place in a chemical waste container for
disposal. CAUTION! The spill area may be slippery.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Handling:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Avoid contact with skin.
Avoid inhalation of vapors and mists. Personnel handling this product
should wash thoroughly after contact with this product.
Storage:
Store away from foodstuffs or animal feed. Containers should
be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
flammable or incompatible materials and sources of heat or
flame. Exercise due caution to prevent damage to or leakage
from the container.
To prevent acid build-up, do not store the product at
temperatures above 49°C (120°F). This product is normally
shipped in polyethylene lined fiber cartons.
Maximum Storage Temperature:
48.88°C (120°F)
General comments:
Containers should not be opened until ready for use.
Section 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
Respiratory Protection:
Use a NIOSH-approved organic vapor acid gas respirator
(OVAG) with dust , mist, and fume filters to reduce
potential for inhalation exposure if use conditions
generate vapor, mist, or aerosol and adequate ventilation
(e.g., outdoor or well ventilated area) is not available.
Where exposure potential necessitates a higher level of
protection use a NIOSH-approved, positive-pressure,
pressure demand, air-supplied respirator.
When using respirator cartridges or canisters, they must be
changed frequently (following each use or at the end of the
work shift) to assure breakthrough exposure does not occur.
Skin Protection:
Skin contact with liquid or its aerosol must be prevented through
the use of permeation resistant clothing, gloves and footwear.
Unprotected skin exposed to vapor, aerosol or mist must be thoroughly
washed before eating, drinking, smoking and at the end of the workshift.
Eye Protection:
Wear safety glasses or chemical goggles during handling to avoid eye contact.
Ventilation Protection:
At elevated processing temperatures, or in the event that use
conditions generate airborne vapor, aerosol or mist, the
material should be handled in a well-ventilated area. Where
adequate ventilation is not available, use a NIOSH-approved
organic vapor/acid gas (OVAG) respirator with dust, mist,
and fume filter to reduce exposure. Where exposure potential
under use conditions is greater, use a NIOSH-approved,
positive-pressure air-supplied respirator.
Other Protection:
Safety showers, with a quick opening valves which stay open, and eye
was fountains, or other means of washing the eyes with a gentle flow
of cool to tepid tap water, should be readily available in all areas
where this material is handled or stored. Water should be supplied through
insulated and heat-traced lines to prevent freeze ups in cold weather. Long
sleeved clothing may be used to minimize skin contact.
Applicable Exposure Limits:
Other than any exposure limits which may be displayed in
Section 8, there are no exposure limits applicable for this
product or its components.
