[Fire Potential]

Nonflammable.
[Ingestion]

If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Get medical aid immediately.
[Inhalation]

Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.

[Inhalation]

May cause severe irritation of the upper respiratory tract with pain, burns, and inflammation.
[Skin]

May cause severe skin irritation with possible burns, especially if skin is wet or moist.
[Eyes]

Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation, and possible eye burns.
