| [Flash Point] 12.2 (closed cup) | |
| [Fire Fighting] Use water spray, alcohol foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Water may be ineffective. | |
| [Fire Potential] Dangerous, when exposed to heat or flame. Flammable | |
| [Ingestion] Do not induce emesis. Activated charcoal: administer charcoal as a slurry (240 ml water/30 g charcoal). Usual dose: 25 to 100 g in adults/adolescents. | |
| [Inhalation] Move patient to fresh air. Monitor for respiratory distress. If cough or difficulty breathing develops, evaluate for respiratory tract irritation, bronchitis, or pneumonitis. Administer oxygen and assist ventilation as required. Treat bronchospasm with beta2 agonist and corticosteroid aerosols. | |
| [Skin] Remove contaminated clothing and wash exposed area thoroughly with soap and water. A physician should examine the area if irritation or pain persists. Treat dermal irritation or burns with standard topical therapy. Patients developing dermal hypersensitivity reactions may require treatment with systemic or topical corticosteroids or antihistamines. | |
| [Eyes] Irrigate exposed eyes with copious amounts of tepid water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation, pain, swelling, lacrimation, or photophobia persist, the patient should be seen in a health care facility. | |
| [Storage] Keep in a cool, dry, dark location in a tightly sealed container or cylinder. Keep away from incompatible materials, ignition sources and untrained individuals. Secure and label area. Protect containers/cylinders from physical damage. | |
| [Handling] All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood. | |
| [Inhalation] Irritation of the lungs and bronchial tree may be seen. | |
| [Skin] Irritation or possibly burns of the skin may be seen after direct exposure to the liquid. | |
| [Eyes] See Skin. | |
| [Ingestion] Mild to moderate oral and esophageal irritation may occur. | |
| [Hazards] Vapor is heavier than air and may travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. | |
