Emergency overview: May cause eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. Appearance: Clear liquid Flash Point: Not available Potential Health Effects Eye: May cause eye irritation. Skin: May cause skin irritation. Ingestion: Not available Inhalation: May cause respiratory irritation. Chronic: Not available.
Eyes: Flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, holding the eyelids open. If irritation develops, seek medical attention. Skin: Flush skin with copious amounts of soap and water. If irritation develops, seek medical attention. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Give 2 to 4 cupfuls of water or milk if victim is conscious and alert. If irritation or symptoms occur, seek medical attention. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing stops, give artificial respiration. If cough or other symptoms occur, seek medical attention. Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
General Information: Wear a NIOSH approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and firefighter turnout gear. This should be selected on the basis of the supporting fire. Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing media appropriate to the surrounding fire.
