4. FIRST AID MEASURES

IF IN EYES, immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove any contact lenses. Get medical attention. Remove material from skin, eyes and clothing.

IF ON SKIN, immediately flush with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical attention if irritation persists. Wash clothing before reuse.

IF INHALED, remove to fresh air. Immediate first aid is not likely to be required, if breathing. If breathing is difficult give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention.

IF SWALLOWED, immediate first aid is not likely to be required. A physician or Poison Control Center can be contacted for advice.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

FLASH POINT: Not combustible

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Not applicable

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: None known

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES IN ENCLOSED AREAS:

Phos-Chek® WD881 Solutions: There are no special hazards associated with dilute foam solutions as used for fire fighting.

Phos-Chek® WD881 Concentrate: If the concentrate becomes involved in a fire, fire fighters and others exposed to products of combustion should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Equipment should be thoroughly cleaned after use.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Contain large spills with dikes and transfer the material to appropriate containers for reclamation or disposal. Absorb remaining material or small spills with an inert material and then place in a chemical waste container. Flush residual spill area with water.

Refer to Section 13 for disposal information and Sections 14 and 15 for reportable quantity information.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

HANDLING

Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Keep container closed.

Use with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling.

STORAGE

Emptied container retains vapor and product residue. Observe all labeled safeguards until container

Material: Phos-Chek® WD881 Class A Foam Concentrate Page 3 of 5 Reference No.: AST10045 June 11, 2015 is cleaned, reconditioned or destroyed. The reuse of this material’s container for non-industrial purposes is prohibited and any reuse must be in consideration of the data provided in the MSDS.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

EYE PROTECTION: Where there is significant potential for eye contact, wear chemical goggles and have eye flushing equipment available.

SKIN PROTECTION: Wear appropriate protective clothing and chemical resistant gloves to prevent skin contact. Consult glove manufacturer to determine appropriate type glove for given application.

Wear face shield and chemical resistant clothing such as a rubber apron when splashing is likely.

Wash contaminated skin promptly. Launder contaminated clothing and clean protective equipment before reuse. Wash thoroughly after handling.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection equipment (full facepiece recommended) when airborne exposure limits are exceeded (see below). Consult respirator manufacturer to determine appropriate type equipment for given application. Observe respirator use limitations specified by NIOSH/MSHA or the manufacturer. Respiratory protection programs must comply with 29 CFR 1910.134.

VENTILATION: Provide natural or mechanical ventilation to control exposure levels below airborne exposure limits (see below). If practical, use local mechanical exhaust ventilation at sources of air contamination such as open process equipment. Consult NFPA Standard 91 for design of exhaust systems.
