Description of any hazards not otherwise classified:
Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. See section 11 for more detailed information on health effects and symptoms.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Skin Contact: Eye Contact: Ingestion:
No need for first aid is anticipated under normal usage（single exposure of small amount）. If necessary, move person into fresh air.
No need for first aid is anticipated. Wash off with water after dried.
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. If irritation occurs and persists, contact a doctor.
If large amount is ingested, Rinse mouth with water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention if necessary.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Not expected to present a significant hazard under anticipated conditions of normal use.
Section 5 - Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media: Use water fog, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Do not use a solid water stream as may scatter or spread fire. Use water fog to cool the unopened containers involved in fire.
Liquid and vapor are flammable. Vapour is heavier than air and can travel considerable distance to a source ignition and flashback. Vapours may form explosive mixture with air. Containers may explode when heated. Gives off irritating fumes (or gases) and combustion product (Carbon oxides, Nitrogen oxides, etc.) in a fire.
Advice for firefighters
Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Fight fire from a safe distance. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective equipment for firefighting.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
For guidance on selection of personal protective equipment see Section 8 of this Material Safety Data Sheet. See Section 13 for information on disposal. Observe the relevant local and international regulations.
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Remove all fire sources. Ensure adequate ventilation. No special personal protection measure required. Use protective gloves if necessary.
Environmental precautions:
No special environmental precautions required. Do not release large amount of product to environment.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:
Small Spill: Absorb with towel or other inert adsorption material.
Large Spill: Flammable liquid. KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT. KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCES OF IGNITION. Stop leak if without risk. Contain spillage, then collect with an electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by wet-brushing and place in closed container. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas. Absorb residue with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Use according identified usage in well-ventilated condition
Minimize skin contact. Keep out of reach of children.
Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. Protect from rain and direct sunlight.

For more precautions see section 2.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Keep container tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep away from sources of ignition, overheat and direct sunlight. Keep out of the reach of children.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
Use in well ventilated condition. Normal measures for preventive fire protection.
Personal protective equipment:
Respiratory Protection: Normally none is required when adequate ventilation is provided. Wear suitable respiratory protective equipment in emergency.
Eyes Protection: No special requirements with normal consumer use. In production, wear suitable eye protection equipment.
Body Protection: No special requirements with normal consumer use. In production, wear suitable protective suit against chemicals.
