*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:EYES: GET MEDICAL AID. DO NOT ALLOW VICTIM TO RUB/KEEP EYES
    SKIN: GET MEDICAL AID. FLUSH SKIN WITH SOAP AND WATER FOR AT LEAST
    CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IF VICTIM
    IS CONSCIOUS AND ALERT, GIVE 2-4 CUPFULS OF MILK OR WATER. GET
    MEDICAL AID IM MEDIATELY. INHALATION: GET MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY.
    REMOVE TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE
    OXYGEN. IF BREATHING HAS CEASED APPLY ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION USING
    OXYGEN AND A SUI TABLE MECHANICAL DEVICE/BAG AND A MASK.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Lower Limits:N/AV
Upper Limits:N/AV
Extinguishing Media:USE AGENT MOST APPROPRIATE TO EXTINGUISH FIRE. USE
    WATER SPRAY, DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE, OR APPROPRIATE FOAM. USE
    WATER WITH CAUTION AND IN FLOODING AMOUNTS.
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 COMBUSTIONS. WEAR A SCBA TO PREVENT CONTACT WITH THERMAL
    DECOMPOSTION PRODUCTS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONTACT WITH MOISTURE OR WATER MAY
    GENERATE SUFFICIENT HEAT TO IGNITE NEARBY COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:USE PROPER PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
    VACUUM OR SWEEP UP MATERIAL AND PLACE INTO A SUITABLE DISPOSAL
    CONTAINER. AVOID RUNOFF INTO STORM SEWERS AND DITCHES WHICH LEAD TO
    WATERWAYS. CLEAN UP SPILLSIMMEDIATELY, OBSERVING PRECAUTIONS IN
    THE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT SECTION. AVOID GENERATING DUSTY
    CONDITIONS. PROVIDE VENTILATION.
Neutralizing Agent:NOT PROVIDED
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINER.
    STORE IN A COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM INCOMPATIBLE
    SUBSTANCES. CORROSIVES AREA. STORE PROTECTED FROM MOISTURE.
Other Precautions:WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. DO NOT ALLOW WATER TO
    GET INTO THE CONTAINER BECAUSE OF VIOLENT REACTION. MINIMIZE DUST
    GENERATION AND ACCUMULATION. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN, AND
    CLOTHING. KEEP C ONTAINER TIGHTLY CLOSED. AVOID INGESTION AND
    INHALATION. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. DISCARD CONT AMINATED
    SHOES.
