First-Aid Measures

Eyes
Rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Seek medical attention immediately.
Skin
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing. Wash with soap. Get medical attention immediately.
Inhalation
Move person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion
Do Not Induce Vomiting! Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If conscious, wash out mouth with water. Get medical attention immediately.
Most Important Symptoms and Effects
  • Ingestion may cause nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain; larger amounts may cause systemic poisoning.
Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment
  • Treat symptomatically. Get medical attention if symptoms develop or persist.
Section 5

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media
Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, or CO2. Use measures appropriate to local circumstances.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
Containers may rupture when heated.
Protective Equipment
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
Hazardous Combustion Products
Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide on combustion of the dried residue; glycolic and other organic acids when overheated or oxidized in service.
Section 6

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions
Use PPE as described in Section 8. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.
Environmental Precautions
Prevent leakage or spillage from entering drains, sewers, or waterways.
Containment & Cleanup
Absorb with inert material. Collect in appropriate waste container. Dispose per applicable regulations.
Section 7

Handling and Storage

Safe Handling
Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container closed when not in use.
Safe Storage
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep away from incompatible materials (see Section 10). Keep containers tightly closed.
Specific Storage Precautions
Keep closed in a cool place away from oxidizers. Protect from freezing below the rated freeze point. Store separately from food and drink.
Section 8

Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits

Occupational exposure limits
LimitValue
ACGIH TLV25 ppm TWA / 50 ppm STEL; 10 mg/m³ STEL (inhalable)
Engineering Controls
Use adequate ventilation. Provide eyewash stations and quick-drench showers accessible to areas of use.
Eye/Face Protection
Wear chemical safety goggles or face shield.
Skin Protection
Wear chemical-resistant gloves and protective clothing.
Respiratory Protection
Use NIOSH-approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or irritation occurs.

Exposure limits sourced from NIOSH Pocket Guide, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1000 and ACGIH TLVs.
