__________________________________________________________________________
4.     FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes
       If symptoms develop, move individual away from exposure and into
       fresh air. Flush eyes gently with water while holding eyelids
       apart. If symptoms persist or there is any visual difficulty,
       seek medical attention.
Skin
       Remove contaminated clothing. Flush exposed area with large
       amounts of water. If skin is damaged, seek immediate medical
       attention. If skin is not damaged and symptoms persist, seek
       medical attention. Launder clothing before reuse.
Swallowing
     Seek medical attention. If individual is drowsy or unconscious,
     do not give anything by mouth; place individual on the left side
     with the head down. Contact a physician, medical facility, or
     poison control center for advice about whether to induce vomiting.
     If possible, do not leave individual unattended.
Inhalation
     If symptoms develop, move individual away from exposure and into
     fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. If
     breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Keep person warm and
     quiet; seek immediate medical attention.
Note to Physicians

6.   ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Small Spill
     Absorb liquid on vermiculite, floor absorbent or other absorbent
     material. Scoop or scrape up. Put in container for recovery or
     disposal.
Large Spill
     Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded from
     area of spill until clean-up has been completed. Stop spill at
     source, dike area of spill to prevent spreading, pump liquid to
     salvage tank. Remaining liquid may be taken up on sand, clay,
     earth, floor absorbent, or other absorbent material and shoveled
     into containers.

7.   HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
     Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied.     Since
     emptied containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or
     solid), all hazard precautions given in the data sheet must be
     observed. Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before
     eating, drinking, smoking, or using toilet facilities. Promptly
     remove soiled clothing and wash before reuse. Shower after work
     using plenty of soap and water.
Storage
     Aluminum equipment should not be used for storage and/or transfer,
     e.g. pumps, mixers, fittings, storage tanks, etc. Contact with
     aluminum parts in a pressurizable fluid system may cause violent
     reactions. Storage vessels constructed of aluminum and aluminum
     alloys should be avoided. Store in closed containers in a dry,
     well-ventilated area. Keep from freezing.

8.   EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Eye Protection
     Chemical splash goggles in compliance with OSHA regulations are
     advised; however, OSHA regulations also permit other type safety
     glasses. Consult your safety representative.
Skin Protection
     Wear resistant gloves such as: natural rubber, neoprene, To
     prevent skin contact, wear impervious clothing and boots. Other
     protective equipment: eyewash station, emergency shower.
Respiratory Protections
     If overexposure has been determined or documented, a NIOSH/MSHA
     jointly approved air supplied respirator is advised in absence of
     proper environmental control. OSHA regulations also permit other
     NIOSH/MSHA respirators under specified conditions. (See your
     safety equipment supplier.) Engineering or administrative
     controls should be implemented to reduce exposure.
Engineering Controls
     Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust)
     ventilation to maintain exposure below level of overexposure (from
     known, suspected or apparent adverse effects).
