Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid if cough or other symptoms appear. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Strong oxidizer. Contact with other material may cause fire. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Some oxidizers may react explosively with hydrocarbons(fuel). May accelerate burning if involved in a fire.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water only! May require flooding with water in order to eliminate hazardous reactions since the materials generate their own oxygen. For large fires flood fire with water from a distance. Carbon dioxide may provide sufficient cooling to extinguish small fires, but dry chemical powder is ineffective because it cannot smother a self-sustaining fire.

Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Do not use combustible materials such as paper towels to clean up spill.

Section 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Keep from contact with clothing and other combustible materials. Avoid breathing dust.
Destroy contaminated leather clothing. Inform laundry personnel of contaminants hazards. Do not take working clothes home.
Storage:
Do not store near combustible materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep away from reducing agents. Avoid storage on wood floors.
