4-tert-Butylphenol Page Number: 2 Section 4. First Aid Measures Eye Contact Skin Contact Serious Skin Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 5 minutes. Get medical attention. Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Inhalation Serious Inhalation If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention. Ingestion Serious Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Section 5.

LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam. Do not use water jet. As with most organic solids, fire is possible at elevated temperatures Section 6. Accidental Release Measures Small Spill Large Spill Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements. Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system.
4-tert-Butylphenol Page Number: 3 Section 7. Handling and Storage Precautions Storage Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty containers pose a fire risk, evaporate the residue under a fume hood. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not breathe dust. Avoid contact with eyes. Wear suitable protective clothing. If you feel unwell, seek medical attention and show the label when possible. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents. Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Engineering Controls Personal Protection Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill Exposure Limits Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit. Splash goggles. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Use a dust respirator if ventilation is inadequate, if exposure limits have been exceeded and/or if handling of material produces visible dust clouds. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Gloves. Splash goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product.
