Inhalation: Chronic: may cause respiratory tract irritation. The toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully investigated. No information found 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Eye Contact Skin Contact Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical attention. Immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if irritation persists. Professionally wash clothing and shoes before re-use. Inhalation (Breathing) Remove to fresh air. If symptoms develop, seek immediate medical attention. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Ingestion (Swallowing) Seek medical attention. Wash out mouth and drink 2-4 cups of water or milk provided person is conscious. Do not induce vomiting. 5. FIRE FIGHTING METHODS Extinguishing Media Special Risks Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide or foam. Combustible Fire Fighting Procedures/Equipment Fire fighters and others who may be exposed to the products of combustion should be equipped with NIOSHapproved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective clothing. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Precautionary Measures Remove persons from exposure and remove any contaminated clothing. Persons developing serious hypersensitivity reactions should receive immediate medical attention. If breathing is difficult, give artificial respiration and/or oxygen. Page 2 of 6
Collection And Disposal Stop discharge, if safe to do so. Use proper protective equipment. Wipe up spillage or collect spillage using a high efficiency vacuum cleaner. Avoid breathing dust. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is complete. Place spillage in appropriately labeled container for disposal. Dispose of according to applicable local, state and federal regulations. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling Avoid handling and inhalation of dust, mist and vapors. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Keep container tightly closed. Use only in a chemical fume hood. Wash thoroughly after handling. Storage Conditions Store product in dry, well ventilated area away from heat, ignition sources, and direct sunlight. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Engineering Controls/Ventilation Eye Protection Skin Protection Local exhaust ventilation is recommended when dusts can be released. Wear chemical splash goggles. An eye wash facility should be readily available. Wear protective clothing and appropriate impervious gloves. Because a variety of protective gloves exist, consult glove manufacturer to determine the proper type for a specific operation. An emergency shower should be readily available. Respiratory Protection Avoid breathing vapor or dusts. Wear NIOSH/MSHA-approved equipment. Determine the appropriate type by consulting the respirator manufacturer. High airborne concentrations may necessitate the use of selfcontained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or a supplied air respirator. Respiratory protection programs must be in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.134. 9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Form/Appearance... White or almost white crystals Odor... Physical State...
