IV. FIRST-AID MEASURES

30062, 30062-5XX, & 30162 / Method 8011 Calibration Mix Material Safety Data Sheet Revision Date: 05/17/06
Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, have a trained individual administer oxygen. If not breathing,
Inhalation:
give artificial respiration and have a trained individual administer oxygen. Get medical attention
immediately
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes retracting eyelids often. Tilt the head to prevent
Eyes:
chemical from transferring to the uncontaminated eye. Get immediate medical attention.
Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder. Get medical attention if irritation
Skin Contact:
develops or persists.
Do not induce vomiting and seek medical attention immediately. Drink two glasses of water or milk to
Ingestion:
dilute. Provide medical care provider with this MSDS.
No additional first aid information available
Notes to Doctor:

V. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability Summary: Highly Flammable
Use alcohol resistant foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical extinguishing agents.
Extinguishing Media:
Water may be ineffective but water spray can be used extinguish a fire if swept
across the base of the flames. Water can absorb heat and keep exposed material
from being damaged by fire.
Vapors may be ignited by sparks, flames or other sources of ignition if material is
Fire and/or Explosion Hazards:
above the flash point giving rise to a fire (Class B). Vapors are heavier than air
and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back.
Do not enter fire area without proper protection including self-contained
Fire Fighting Methods and Protection:
breathing apparatus and full protective equipment. Fight fire from a safe distance
and a protected location due to the potential of hazardous vapors and
decomposition products. Flammable component(s) of this material may be
lighter than water and burn while floating on the surface.
Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide

VI. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Exposure to the spilled material may be severely irritating or toxic. Follow
Personal Precautions and Equipment:
personal protective equipment recommendations found in Section VIII of this
MSDS. Personal protective equipment needs must be evaluated based on
information provided on this sheet and the special circumstances created by the
spill including; the material spilled, the quantity of the spill, the area in which
the spill occurred, and the expertise of employees in the area responding to the
spill. Never exceed any occupational exposure limits.
Prevent the spread of any spill to minimize harm to human health and the
Methods for Clean-up:
environment if safe to do so. Wear complete and proper personal protective
equipment following the recommendation of Section VIII at a minimum. Dike
with suitable absorbent material like granulated clay. Gather and store in a
sealed container pending a waste disposal evaluation.

VII. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Toxic or severely irritating material. Avoid contacting and avoid
Handling Technical Measures and Precautions:
breathing the material. Use only in a well ventilated area. Use
spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment
Store in a cool dry ventilated location. Isolate from incompatible
Storage Technical Measures and Conditions:
materials and conditions. Keep container(s) closed. Keep away from
sources of ignition
Freezer.
Recommended storage:

VIII. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
30062, 30062-5XX, & 30162 / Method 8011 Calibration Mix Material Safety Data Sheet Revision Date: 05/17/06
Local exhaust ventilation is recommended when generating excessive levels of vapors from
Engineering Measures:
handling or thermal processing.
Respiratory protection may be required to avoid overexposure when handling this product.
Respiratory Protection:
General or local exhaust ventilation is the preferred means of protection. Use a respirator if
general room ventilation is not available or sufficient to eliminate symptoms. If an exposure limit
is exceeded or if an operator is experiencing symptoms of inhalation overexposure as explained in
Section III, provide respiratory protection.
Wear chemically resistant safety glasses with side shields when handling this product. Do not
Eye Protection:
wear contact lenses.
Wear protective gloves. Inspect gloves for chemical break-through and replace at regular
Skin Protection:
intervals. Clean protective equipment regularly. Wash hands and other exposed areas with mild
soap and water before eating, drinking, and when leaving work
