Gas concentrations are in percent by volume. 20 - 50% CAS-No.: 7732-18-5 # This substance has workplace exposure limit(s). Description of first aid measures Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If breathing stops, provide artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention immediately. Eye contact: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove contact lenses. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. In case of irritation from airborne exposure, move to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms persist. Skin contact: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes. Ingestion: Call a physician or poison control center immediately.

Precautionary statements
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. protective equipment and emergency procedures: Environmental Precautions: Avoid release to the environment. Methods and material for Eliminate sources of ignition. Absorb spill with vermiculite or other inert containment and cleaning material, then place in a container for chemical waste. Large Spillages: Use up: water spray to disperse vapors and dilute spill to a nonflammable mixture. Prevent runoff from entering drains, sewers, or streams. Dike for later disposal. Notification Procedures: In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable regulations. SECTION 7: Handling and storage: Precautions for safe handling: Avoid breathing mists or vapors. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Do not taste or swallow. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Conditions for safe storage, Keep container tightly closed and in a well-ventilated place. including any incompatibilities: Specific end use(s): Solvent Control Parameters Occupational Exposure Limits Country specific exposure limits have not been established or are not applicable unless listed below.
