First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air, seek medical attention if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water; remove contaminated clothing, launder before reuse
Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with running water at least 15 minutes, call doctor if irritation continues
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting; rinse mouth with water, consult physician if significant amount swallowed
Most Important Symptoms: Mild skin and eye irritation, coughing or throat discomfort from fumes
Notes for Physicians: Treat symptomatically; no known antidote

Fire-Fighting Measures

Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water fog
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use direct water stream as oil may spread
Fire Hazards: Burns with intense heat, produces smoke, soot, and irritating fumes
Personal Protection: Full protective gear including self-contained breathing apparatus
Specific Hazards: Vapors heavier than air, may collect in low areas; containers may burst in heat
Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur oxides

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear gloves and goggles, keep unprotected people away from spill area, ventilate area
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into sewers, drains, or waterways, notify authorities if significant spill
Containment: Dike and contain spill using absorbent material
Clean-Up Methods: Soak up with sand, earth, or vermiculite, shovel into labeled containers, dispose according to regulations
Large Spills: Use pumps or vacuums suitable for oils, follow local incident procedures

Handling and Storage

Handling Precautions: Avoid prolonged skin contact, wash hands after use, avoid inhaling mist
Safe Handling Advice: Wear suitable personal protective equipment, minimize splashing and static discharge
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources, keep containers closed
Packaging: Use original or approved containers, avoid reuse of containers
