Impurities/Additives: Typical commercial grade may contain trace amines; no significant stabilizers or inhibitors reported
Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air; keep at rest; seek medical attention if symptoms occur; administer oxygen if breathing is difficult
Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes; remove contaminated clothing and shoes; seek medical attention; wash before reuse
Eye Contact: Rinse thoroughly with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting eyelids; get medical attention promptly
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water; do not induce vomiting; if victim is conscious, give water to dilute; get immediate medical help
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically; monitor for respiratory distress, treat burns and irritation accordingly
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water spray
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Direct water jet
Specific Hazards: Vapors can form explosive mixtures with air; burning releases toxic and irritating gases such as nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, ammonia
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Advice for Firefighters: Move containers from fire area if possible; prevent runoff from entering drains or waterways; cool containers exposed to fire with water spray

Personal Precautions: Use personal protective equipment; avoid breathing vapors; ensure adequate ventilation; evacuate area if spill is large
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so; do not let product enter drains or watercourses
Containment Methods: Cover spill with non-combustible absorbent material such as sand, earth, or vermiculite
Cleanup Procedures: Collect residue in suitable, closed containers for disposal; wash affected area with plenty of water
Special Precautions: Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air; remove all ignition sources
Safe Handling: Avoid exposure; minimize vapor formation; use with adequate ventilation; do not breathe vapor or mist; wash thoroughly after handling
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from oxidizers, acids, and ignition sources
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong oxidizing agents
Special Requirements: Containers should be grounded and bonded; keep away from heat and sources of ignition; store only in original container
Occupational Exposure Limits: No OSHA PEL or ACGIH TLV established; minimize exposure as much as possible
