Additives: Product usually sold unblended for research use
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air, keep calm and upright, monitor for breathing trouble
Skin Contact: Rinse thoroughly with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing
Eye Contact: Flush with gentle stream of water for several minutes, keep lids apart
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, seek medical advice; don’t induce vomiting by yourself
Medical Signs: Irritation, burning, shortness of breath, nausea
Ignition Potential: Medium, vapors can ignite from sparks or open flame
Extinguishing Media: Foam, CO2, dry chemical; water spray for cooling only

Firefighter Protection: Self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective suit
Explosion Risk: In tightly enclosed spaces, vapors may build up
Personal Protection: Nitrile gloves, chemical splash goggles, good ventilation or mask
Containment: Stop leaks if risk-free, prevent entry to drains or soil
Cleanup Steps: Absorb with sand or granular material, scoop into secure container
Aftermath: Wash spill area with plenty of water, watch for slippery spots
Disposal: Label all waste, follow chemical regulations for hazardous liquid
Handling: Use with gloves and goggles, avoid open flames, ensure airflow
Hygiene: Wash after handling, don’t eat, drink, or smoke near the work area
