=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:SKIN/EYES: IMMED (WITHIN SECONDS) FLUSH W/PLENTY OF WATER
    (PREF COLD) FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN WHILE REMOVING CONTAM CLTHG &
    SHOES. CALL MD. WASH CLTHG BEFORE REUSE. WHILE PATIENT IS BEING
    TRANSPORTED TO M EDICAL FACILITY, APPLY COMPRESSES OF ICED WATER.
    IF MED TREATMENT MUST BE DELAYED, IMMERSE THE AFFECTED AREA IN ICED
    WATER. IF IMMERSION IS NOT PRACTICAL, COMPRESSES OF ICED WATER CAN
    BE (SEE ING 14)

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:WILL NOT BURN
Extinguishing Media:USE MEDIA AS APPROP FOR COMBUST IN AREA. USE WATER
    SPRAY TO COOL CNTNRS EXPOSED TO FIRE; DO NOT GET WATER INSIDE
    CNTNRS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD SCBA & FULL PROT EQUIP IF
    FUMES OR MISTS ARE PRESENT. EVAC PERS TO SAFE AREA. KEEP PERS
    REMOVED & UPWIND OF FIRE. GENERATES (SEE SUPP DATA)
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:REACTS WITH MOST METALS, ESPECIALLY WHEN
    DILUTE, TO GIVE FLAMMABLE, POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:STOP FLOW IF POSS. REVIEW "FIRE & EXPLO HAZ" &
    "SAFETY PREC" BEFORE PROCEEDING W/CLEAN UP. USE APPROP PROT EQUIP
    DURING CLEAN UP. SOAK UP SM SPILLS W/DRY SAND, CLAY/DIATOMACEOUS
    EARTH. DIKE LRG SPILLS  & CAUTIOUSLY DILUTE, NEUT W/LIME/SODA(SEE
    ING 20)
Neutralizing Agent:SEE SPILL/RELEASE PROCEDURES.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP OUT OF SUN & AWAY FROM
    HEAT/SPARKS/FLAME. KEEP CNTNR TIGHTLY CLOSED. LOOSEN CLOSURE TO
    RELIEVE INTERNAL PRESS WHEN RECEIVED & WEEKLY THEREAFTER.
Other Precautions:DO NOT USE PRESS TO EMPTY. BE SURE CLOSURE IS
    SECURELY FASTENED BEFORE MOVING CNTNR. DO NOT WASH OUT CNTNR/USE IT
    FOR OTHER PURPOSES; REPLACE CLOSURE AFTER EACH WITHDRAWAL & RETURN
    IT W/EMPTY CNTNR.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:IF ACID VAPOR OR MIST ARE PRESENT AND EXPOSURE
    LIMITS MAY BE EXCEEDED, WEAR NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATORY
    PROTECTION.
Ventilation:GOOD GENERAL VENTILATION SHOULD BE PROVIDED TO KEEP VAPOR
    AND MIST CONCENTRATIONS BELOW THE EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Protective Gloves:ACID-PROOF GAUNTLET GLOVES.
Eye Protection:CHEM WORK GOGG. MAY ADD FULL(SEE ING 22)
Other Protective Equipment:APRON/BOOTS/LONG SLEEVE WOOL/ACRYLIC OR
    POLYESTER CLTHG. IN CASE OF EMER WEAR COMPLETE ACID-PROOF
    SUIT/HOOD/ (SUPP DATA)
Work Hygienic Practices:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Supplemental Safety and Health
FIRE FIGHT PROC: HEAT UPON ADDTN OF WATER, W/POSS SPATTERING. RUNOFF
    FROM FIRE CONTROL MAY CAUSE POLLUTION. NEUT RUNOFF W/LIME, SODA
    ASH, ETC, TO PVNT CORR OF METALS & FORMATION OF HYDROGEN GAS. MATLS
     TO AVOID: OXIDIZING, REDUCING/COMBUST ORG MATLS. OTHER PROT EQUIP:
