Section 4: First Aid Measures
Eye Contact: Check
for and remove any contact lenses. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical
attention.
Skin Contact: After
contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and thoroughly
wash the contaminated skin with running water and non-abrasive soap. Be
particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. Cover the
irritated skin with an emollient. If irritation persists, seek medical
attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.
Serious Skin Contact: Wash
with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial
cream. Seek medical attention.
Inhalation: Allow
the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious Inhalation: Not
available.
Ingestion: Do not
induce vomiting. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.

through the sanitary system.
Section 7: Handling and Storage Precautions:
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 ingest. Do not breathe dust. Wear suitable
protective clothing In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable
respiratory equipment If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the
container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes
Storage: Keep
container dry. Keep in a cool place. Ground all equipment containing material.
Keep container tightly closed. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place.
Combustible materials should be stored away from extreme heat and away from
strong oxidizing agents.
Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Engineering
Controls:
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.
Personal Protection: Splash
goggles. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified
respirator or equivalent. Gloves.
