Safety and Handling

DANGER!

Emergency Overview
Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Irritating to eyes and skin. May cause irritation of respiratory tract. Aspiration hazard if swallowed - can enter lungs and cause damage. Danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure. Possible risk of impaired fertility. Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Use personal protective equipment. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Use only under a chemical fume hood. Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention. Obtain medical attention. Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.
