=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:GET MEDICAL ASSISTANCE FOR ALL CASES OF OVEREXP. INGEST:DO
    NOT INDUCE VOMIT; DILUTE BY GIVING MILK OR WATER IF CONSCIOUS; GET
    MED ATTN IMMED. SKIN:FLUSH THOROUGHLY W/WATER; REMOVE ALL CONTAMD
    CLTHG &  SHOES; GET IMMED MED ATTN. EYES:FLUSH W/WATER FOR @ LST 15
    MINS, LIFTING UPPER & LOWER LIDS OCCASNLY; CONTINUE FLUSHING WHILE
    WAITING FOR MED HELP. INHAL:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR; GET IMMED MED
    ASSISTANCE.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT .
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:REACTS WITH MOST METALS TO FORM EXPLOSIVE
    HYDROGEN GAS WHICH CAN FORM EXPLOSIVE MIXTURES WITH AIR. MAY IGNITE
    COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL ON CONTACT.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:EVAC AREA OF ALL UNNEC PERS. WEAR SUITABLE
    PROT EQUIP LISTED UNDER EXPOS/PERSONAL PROT. ELIM ANY IGNIT SOURCES
    UNTIL AREA IS DETERM TO BE FREE FROM EXPLO/FIRE HAZS. CONTAIN
    RELEASE & ELIM ITS SOURCE,	IF CAN BE DONE W/OUT RISK. TAKE UP
    AND(SUPDAT)
Neutralizing Agent:FOLLOWING SPILL-X NEUTRALIZER & ABSORB AGENTS IS REC
    BY MFR:SX0861 (ING 3)

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP CNTNR CLSD & PROTECTED AGAINST
    PHYSICAL DMG. KEEP UPRIGHT; SEPARATE FROM ALL INCOMPAT MATLS,
    COMBUST MATLS & OXIDIZING AGENTS. CAUSES SEV BURNS.
Other Precautions:WHEN DILUTING:ADD ACID TO WATER; NEVER ADD WATER TO
    ACID. DO NOT BREATHE VAPOR. DO NOT GET IN EYES, ON SKIN, OR ON
    CLTHG. RETAINED RESIDUE MAY MAKE EMPTY CNTNR HAZARDOUS; USE
