GUAR GUM 9000-30-0 5-10 Calcium carbonate 471-34-1 30-60 SECTION 4. FIRST-AID MEASURES First-aid Measures Inhalation Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, trained personnel should administer emergency oxygen if advised to do so by Poison Centre or doctor. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek medical attention if irritation develops or persists. Skin Contact Wash gently and thoroughly with lukewarm, gently flowing water and mild soap for 5 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation develops or persists. Eye Contact Do not allow victim to rub eyes. Immediately rinse the contaminated eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water for 15-20 minutes, while holding the eyelid(s) open. Seek medical attention if irritation develops or persists. Ingestion Rinse mouth with water. Never give anything by mouth if person is rapidly losing consciousness, or is unconscious or convulsing. Do not induce vomiting. If breathing is difficult, trained personnel should administer emergency oxygen if advised to do so by the Poison Centre or doctor. If breathing has stopped, trained personnel should immediately begin rescue breathing. Seek medical attention. SECTION 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Extinguishing Media Suitable Extinguishing Media Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire. Unsuitable Extinguishing Media None known. Specific Hazards Arising from the Product Does not burn. Aqueous solutions or powders that become wet render surfaces extremely slippery. Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Fire-fighters Avoid dust formation. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. The use of self-contained breathing apparatus is recommended for fire fighters. Fire-fighters may enter the area if positive pressure SCBA and full Bunker Gear is worn. SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment, and Emergency Procedures Use the personal protective equipment recommended in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Environmental Precautions Do not allow into any sewer, on the ground or into any waterway. If the spill is inside a building, prevent product from entering drains, ventilation systems and confined areas. Do not flush to drain. Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up Stop or reduce leak if safe to do so. Avoid generating dust. Collect using shovel/scoop or approved HEPA vacuum and place in a suitable container for disposal. After cleaning, flush away traces with water. Wet product may create a slipping hazard. Collect washing for disposal. SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for Safe Handling Avoid generating dusts. Do not breathe dust. Good house keeping is important to prevent accumulations of dust. November 25, 2017 Page 2 of 06
Remove contaminated clothing promptly. Keep contaminated clothing in closed, labelled containers until they can be safely discarded. Do not smoke, drink or eat in work areas. Wash hands thoroughly after handling this material. Maintain good housekeeping. Conditions for Safe Storage Store in an area that is: well-ventilated, separate from incompatible materials (see Section 10: Stability and Reactivity). Do not store in unlabeled containers. Store in a dry place. Store in tightly closed containers. SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Control Parameters ACGIH TLV OSHA PEL AIHA WEEL Chemical Name TWA STEL TWA Ceiling 8-hr TWA TWA GUAR GUM Appropriate Engineering Controls Use local exhaust ventilation, if general ventilation is not adequate to control amount in the air. Do not allow product to accumulate in the air in work or storage areas, or in confined spaces. Provide eyewash and safety shower if contact or splash hazard exists. Individual Protection Measures Eye/Face Protection Safety glasses with side shields are recommended to prevent eye contact. Skin Protection Wear chemical protective clothing e.g. gloves, aprons, boots. Consideration must be given both to durability as well as permeation resistance. Respiratory Protection Wear a NIOSH approved dust mask when required. Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. SECTION 9.
