information found.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Get
medical attention for any breathing difficulty.
Ingestion: If swallowed, give several
glasses of water to drink to dilute. If large amounts were
swallowed or symptoms occur, get medical advice. Never give anything by mouth
to an unconscious
person.
Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin
with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean
shoes before reuse.
Get medical attention if irritation develops.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes
with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and
lower eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
5. Fire Fighting Measures

hazard.
Explosion: No information found.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Dry
chemical, foam, water or carbon dioxide.
Special Information: In the event of a
fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved selfcontained
breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or
other positive
pressure mode.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment as specified in Section
8. Spills: Sweep up and containerize for reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or
wet sweeping may be
used to avoid dust dispersal.
7. Handling and Storage
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area.
Protect against physical
damage. Isolate from incompatible substances. Containers of this material may
be hazardous when
empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings
and precautions listed for
the product.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits: None
established.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): For
conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is
apparent and engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator
(NIOSH type N95 or better
filters) may be worn. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids,
glycerine, etc.) are present, use a
NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure
levels are not known, use
a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying
respirators do not
protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection: Wear protective
gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety
goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench
facilities in work area.
