Safety and Handling

GHS H Statement
In contact with water releases flammable gases which may ignite spontaneously. Highly flammable liquid and vapour. Catches fire spontaneously if exposed to air. Causes severe skin burns and eye damage. May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways. May cause drowsiness or dizziness. May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure if inhaled. Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Suspected of damaging fertility. Reacts violently with water.

GHS P Statement
Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. Wear eye protection/face protection. IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Avoid release to the environment. Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking.
