3: Hazards Identification
Potential
Acute Health Effects:
Hazardous
in case of ingestion. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of
eye contact (irritant), of inhalation.
Potential
Chronic Health Effects:
CARCINOGENIC
EFFECTS: 3 (Not classifiable for human.) by IARC. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not
available. TERATOGENIC
EFFECTS:
Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available. Repeated or prolonged
exposure is not known to aggravate medical condition.
Section
4: First Aid Measures
Eye
Contact:
Check
for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes
with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if
irritation occurs.
Skin
Contact: Wash with soap and water. Cover
the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical attention if irritation
develops.
Serious
Skin Contact: Not available.
Inhalation:
If
inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Serious
Inhalation: Not available.
Ingestion:
Do
NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing such as a
collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention if symptoms appear.

Section
5: Fire and Explosion Data
Flammability
of the Product: May be combustible at high
temperature.
Auto-Ignition
Temperature: Not available.
Flash
Points: Not available.
Flammable
Limits: Not available.
Products
of Combustion: These products are carbon
oxides (CO, CO2).
Fire
Hazards in Presence of Various Substances:
Slightly
flammable to flammable in presence of heat. Non-flammable in presence of shocks.
Explosion
Hazards in Presence of Various Substances:
Slightly
explosive in presence of open flames and sparks. Non-explosive in presence of
shocks.
Fire
Fighting Media and Instructions:
SMALL
FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder. LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam. Do not
use water jet.
Special
Remarks on Fire Hazards:
As
with most organic solids, fire is possible at elevated temperatures. When heated
to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides
Special
Remarks on Explosion Hazards:
Fine
dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an
ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard.
Section
6: Accidental Release Measures
Small
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.
Large
Spill:
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.
Section
7: Handling and Storage
Precautions:
Keep
away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Ground all equipment
containing material. Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust. If ingested, seek
medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Keep away from
incompatibles such as oxidizing agents.
Storage:
Keep container tightly closed. Keep
container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
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: Safety glasses. Lab coat. Dust
respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.
Gloves.
Personal
Protection in Case of a Large Spill:
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.
