eye contact. Use in a well ventilated area. First aid for skin contact: remove any con-
taminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. First aid for eye
contact: flush with water for 15 minutes or until irritation subsides. If irritation per-
sists, call a physician. If overcome by vapors, move from exposed area and call a phy-
sician. In case of ingestion, do not induce vomiting, call a physician immediately.
