When you are using this chemical, please be very cautious, and then take some measures to protect yourself. For one thing, it may at low levels cause damage to health. Being irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin, it may also cause inflammation to the skin or other mucous membranes. Then it is toxic and has danger of very serious irreversible effects. If through inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed, it will be very dangerous. For another thing, it is highly flammable. It may catch fire in contact with air, only needing brief contact with an ignition source, and has a very low flash point or evolve highly flammable gases in contact with water. Lastly, it is dangerous for the environment. Being very toxic to aquatic organisms, it may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment, and then this chemical may present an immediate or delayed danger to one or more components of the environment.

Therefore, you should take the following instructions. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection and avoid contacting with skin and eyes . If in case of contacting with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice, and if then in case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show the label where possible). Then avoid releasing to the environment, with refering to special instructions/safety data sheet. In addition, do remember not to empty into drains.
