                               EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful if swallowed.

Potential Health Effects
     Eye:
          Causes eye irritation.
     Skin:
          Causes skin irritation. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause
          irritation and/or dermatitis.
     Ingestion:
          May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
          diarrhea. May be harmful if swallowed.
     Inhalation:
          May cause respiratory tract irritation.
     Chronic:
          Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis.

                    **** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****

     Eyes:
          Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
          occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid
          immediately.
     Skin:
          Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at
          least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
          Wash clothing before reuse.
     Ingestion:
          If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
          Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
          aid.
     Inhalation:
          Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
          breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
          give oxygen. Get medical aid.
     Notes to Physician:

                  **** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****

     General Information:
          As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
          pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
          protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
          may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water
          spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Containers may explode in
          the heat of a fire. Vapors may be heavier than air.  They can spread
          along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
     Extinguishing Media:
          In case of fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or
          alcohol-resistant foam. Cool containers with flooding quantities of
          water until well after fire is out.

                **** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****

     General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
                          in Section 8.
     Spills/Leaks:
          Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
          Equipment section. Sweep up or absorb material, then place into a
          suitable clean, dry, closed container for disposal. Avoid generating
          dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.

                   **** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****

     Handling:
          Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash hands before eating. Remove
          contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate
          ventilation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not ingest or
          inhale.
     Storage:
          Store in a cool, dry place. Keep container closed when not in use.
          Keep from contact with oxidizing materials.

          **** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****

     Engineering Controls:
          Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
