Section VII First aid measures
Eye contact	Immediately flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. Seek prompt mediacal attention.
Skin contact	Immediately remove contamminated clothing and shoes. Wipe excess from skin and flush with water for at least 15 minutes using soap if available. Seek prompt mediacal attention. Do not reuse clothing until thoroughly decontamminated.
Inhalation	Remove victim to fresh air and treat symptomatically. Provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Give artificail respiration if the victim is not breathing. Seek prompt medical attention.
Ingestion	Dilute with liquid unless the victim is unconscious or very drowsy. If vomiting spontaneously occurs, keep the victim's head below the hips to prevent aspiration into the lungs. Consult a physician, hospital or poison control center and/or transport to an emergency facility immediately.

Section VIII. Fire and Explosion Hazards
Flash Point	152o F TCC
Extinguishing Media	Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide
Special Fire Fighting Procedures and Precautions	Warning: Combustible. Clear fire area of unprotected personnel. Do not enter confined fire space without helmet, face shield, bunker coat, gloves, rubber boots, and a positive pressure NIOSH-Approved self-contained breathing apparatus.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards	Containers exposed to intense heat from fires should be cooled with water to prevent vapor pressure buildup which could result in container rupture. Containers that are exposed to direct flame should be cooled with water to eliminate structural weakening of the container's wall and possible rupture.

Section IX. Employee Protection
Respiratory Protection	Use ventilation as required to control vapor concentrations - at least 10 air changes per hour are recommended for good general room ventilation. If exposure exceeds PEL/TLV, use appropriate NIOSH Approved respirator
Protective Clothing	Wear safety glasses, goggles, or a splash shield to prevent eye contact. Contact lenses should not be worn. Wear appropriate gloves and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and clothing.
Additional Protective Measures	Eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available for use in an emergency

Section X. Environmental Protection
Spill or Leak Procedures	Large Spills: Evacuate the hazard area of unprotected personnel. Wear appropriate respirator and protective clothing. Shut off source of leak only if it is safe to do so. Dike and contain. If vapor cloud forms, water fog may be used to suppress; contain run-off. Remove with vacuum trucks or pump to storage/salvage vessels. Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable material; place in non-leaking containers for proper disposal. Flush area with water to remove trace residue; dispose of flush solutions as above.  Small Spills: Take up with an absorbent material and place in non-leaking containers; seal tightly for proper disposal.

Section XI. Additional Precautions

Keep liquid and vapor away from heat, sparks, and flame. Extinguish pilot lights, cigarettes and turn off other possible sources of ignition prior to use and until vapors are gone. Surfaces that are sufficiently hot may ignite product in the absence of sparks or flame. Vapors may accumulate and travel to ignition sources distant from handling site. Keep containers closed when not in use. Use with adequate ventilation. Containers, even if empty, can contain explosive vapors or residues. Do not cut, drill, grind or weld near containers After contact with product or container wash with soap and water before eating, drinking smoking or using toilet facilities. Under the provisions of title III, section 313 of the superfund amendments and reauthorization act of 1986 and 40 CFR part 372, the following components may be subject to reporting para dichlorobenzene - 50.02 WT%
