Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NOT PROVIDED

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:EYES: FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES, OCCASIONALLY
    LIFTING UPPER AND LOWER LIDS. GET MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT
    ALLOW VICTIM TO RUB/KEEP EYES CLOSED. SKIN: FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF
    SOAP AND  WATER WHILE REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES. GET
    MEDICAL AID IF IRRITAION DEVELOPS/PERSISTS. INGESTION: IF VICTIM IS
    CONSCIOUS AND ALERT, GIVE 2-4 CUPFULS OF MILK/WATER. GET MEDICAL
    AID IMME DIATELY. INDUCE VOMITING BY GIVING 1 TEASPOON OF SYRUP OF
    IPECAC. INHALATION: GET MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY. REMOVE FROM
    EXPOSURE TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
    ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION.  IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:=12.C, 53.6F
Autoignition Temp:=455.C, 851.F
Lower Limits:6.0
Upper Limits:36.0
Extinguishing Media:FOR SMALL FIRES, USE DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE,
    WATER SPRAY OR ALCOHOL-RESISTANT FOAM. USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL
    FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS. WATER MAY BE INEFFECTIVE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:AS IN ANY FIRE, WEAR A SELF CONTAINED
    BREATHING APPARATUS IN PRESSURE-DEMAND, MSHA/NIOSH (APPROVED OR
    EQUIVALENT), AND FULL PROTECTIVE GEAR. DURING A FIRE, IRRITATING
    AND HIGHLY TOXIC GASES MAY BE GEN ERATED BY THERMAL DECOMPOSITION
    OR COMBUSTION.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONTAINERS CAN BUILD UP PRESSURE IF
    EXPOSED TO HEAT AND/OR FIRE. VAPORS CAN TRAVEL TO A SOURCE OF
    IGNITION AND FLASH BACK. FLAMMABLE LIQUID. CAN RELEASE VAPORS THAT
    FORM FLAMMABLE MIXTURES AT TEMPERAT URES AT OR ABOVE THE
    FLASHPOINT.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:USE PROPER PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
    SPILLS/LEAKS: SCOOP UP WITH A NON-SPARKING TOOL, THEN PLACE INTO A
    SUITABLE CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL. USE WATER SPRAY TO DISPERSE
    GAS/VAPOR. REMOVE ALL SOURCES  OF IGNITION. ABSORB SPILL USING AN
    ABSORBENT, NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL SUCH AS EARTH, SAND, OR
    VERMICULITE.
Neutralizing Agent:NOT RELEVANT

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM SOURCES OF IGNITION.
    STORE IN A COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM INCOMPATIBLE
    SUBSTANCES. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES,
    SKIN, CLOTHING. DO NOT INGEST  OR INHALE.
Other Precautions:WASH THROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. REMOVE CONTAMINATED
    CLOTHING AND WASH BEFORE REUSE. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
    EMPTY CONTAINERS RETAIN PRODUCT RESIDUE, (LIQUID AND/OR VAPOR), AND
    CAN BE DANGEROUS.  DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD, BRAZE, SOLDER,
    DRILL, GRIND, OR EXPOSE SUCH CONTAINERS TO HEAT, SPARKS  OR FLAMES.
