Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do.
Skin Contact: Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Keep person comfortable for breathing. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting. Get immediate medical advice.
In Case of Allergic Reaction: Discontinue exposure and seek immediate medical attention.
Note for Healthcare Providers: Treat symptomatically; no antidote currently available.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, or water spray (do not use water jet).
Specific Hazards: Vapors may form explosive mixture with air. Heating increases pressure; risk of bursting.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon oxides, acrylates, dense smoke.
