| [Flash Point] 97 | |
| [Autoignition] 335 | |
| [Fire Fighting] 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 generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. Extinguishing media: Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to extinguish surrounding fire. | |
| [Upper exp. limit] 24.5 | |
| [Fire Potential] May burn but does not ignite readily. | |
| [Ingestion] 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] Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. | |
| [Skin] Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. | |
| [Eyes] Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately. | |
| [Storage] Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep away from metals. | |
| [Handling] Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. | |
| [Ingestion] Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause liver and kidney damage. | |
| [Inhalation] Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause lung damage. May cause headache, loss of appetite, nausea, fatigue, abdominal pain, darkened urine and jaundice.. | |
| [Skin] May be absorbed through damaged or abraded skin in harmful amounts. Exposure may cause irritation and possible burns. Causes symptoms similar to those of inhalation. | |
| [Eyes] Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation, and possible eye burns. | |
| [Hazards] Containers may explode when heated. | |
