Section 4 Inhalation
| Remove
from exposure immediately. Use a bag valve mask or similar device to perform artificial
respiration (rescue breathing) if needed. Get medical attention. |
Skin contact | Remove contaminated
clothing, jewelry, and shoes immediately. Wash with soap or mild detergent and
large amounts of water until no evidence of chemical remains (at least 15-20 minutes).
Get medical attention, if needed. | Eye contact | Wash eyes
immediately with large amounts of water or normal saline, occasionally lifting
upper and lower lids, until no evidence of chemical remains. Get medical attention
immediately. | Ingestion | If vomiting
occurs, keep head lower than hips to help prevent aspiration. Get medical attention,
if needed. |

Section 5 Fire
& explosion hazards | Slight
fire hazard. Dust/air mixtures may ignite or explode. | Extinguishing
Media | Regular dry
chemical, carbon dioxide, water, regular foam, large fires: Use regular foam or
flood with fine water spray. | Fire
Fighting | Move container
from fire area if it can be done without risk. Do not scatter spilled material
with high-pressure water streams. Dike for later disposal. Use extinguishing
agents appropriate for surrounding fire. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion
by-products. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas. |

Section 6 Occupational
release | Collect
spilled material in appropriate container for disposal. Keep out of water supplies
and sewers. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. |

Section 7 Store
and handle in accordance with all current regulations and standards.Store in a
tightly closed container. Keep separated from incompatible substances. |
Section 8 Exposure
limits | DENATONIUM
BENZOATE: No occupational exposure limits established. |
Ventilation | Provide local
exhaust ventilation system. Ventilation equipment should be explosion-resistant
if explosive concentrations of material are present. Ensure compliance with applicable
exposure limits. | Eye
Protection | Wear splash
resistant safety goggles. Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench
shower in the immediate work area. | Clothing | Wear appropriate
chemical resistant clothing. | Gloves | Wear appropriate
chemical resistant gloves. | Respirator | Under conditions
of frequent use or heavy exposure, respiratory protection may be needed.
Respiratory protection is ranked in order from minimum to maximum. Consider
warning properties before use. You can use: Any dust, mist, and fume
respirator. Any air-purifying respirator with a high-efficiency particulate
filter. Any powered, air-purifying respirator with a dust, mist, and fume
filter. Any powered, air-purifying respirator with a high-efficiency
particulate filter. For unknown concentrations or immediately dangerous to
life or health: Any supplied-air respirator with full facepiece and operated
in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination with a separate
escape supply. Any self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece. |
