Skin: May cause skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes

evident upon re-exposure to this material. Low hazard for usual industrial handling.

Ingestion: Ingestion of large amounts may cause gastrointestinal irritation. Expected to be a low

ingestion hazard.

Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. Low hazard for usual industrial handling.

Chronic: No information found.

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.

Ingestion: If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Get medical aid.

Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. Get medical aid if cough or

other symptoms appear.

Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
