=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INGESTION: CALL A PHYSICIAN. IF SWALLOWED, IF CONSCIOUS, GIVE
    LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER. INDUCE VOMITING. INHALATION: IF INHALED,
    REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTFICIAL RESPIRATION.
    IF BRE ATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. PROMPT ACTION IS
    ESSENTIAL. SKIN CONTACT: IN CASE OF CONTACT, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH SKIN
    WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES WHILE REMOVING
    CONTAMINATED CLOTHING  AND HOES. WASH CLOTHING BEFORE RE-USE. EYE
    CONTACT: IN CASE OF EYE CONTACT, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:=-37.C, -34.6F
Autoignition Temp:=174.C, 345.2F
Lower Limits:4.0
Upper Limits:60.0
Extinguishing Media:USE ALCOHOL FOAM, DRY CHEMICAL OR CARBON DIOXIDE.
    (WATER MAY BE INEFFECTIVE).
Fire Fighting Procedures:FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR PROPER PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT AND SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH FULL
    FACEPIECE OPERATED IN POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE. MOVE CONTAINES FROM
    FIRE AREA IF IT CAN BE DONE WITH OUT RISK. USE WATER TO KEEP
    FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VAPORS MAY FLOW ALONG SURFACES TO DISTANT
    IGNITION SOURCES AND FALSH BACK. CLOSED CONTAINERS EXPOSED TO HEAT
    MAY EXPLODE. CONTACT WITH STRONG OXIDIZERS MAY CAUSE FIRE. RAPID,

    REDUCE VAPORS. TA KE UP WITH SAND/ OTHER NON-COMBUSTIBLE ABSORBENT
    MATERIAL AND PLACE INTO CONTAINER FOR LATER DISPOSAL. FLUSH AREA
    WITH WATER. SOLUSORB(R)  SOLVENT ABSORBENT IS RECOMMENDED FOR
    SPILLS OF THIS PRODUCT.
