Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation:No information found, but compound should be handled as a
potential health hazard. May cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms
may include coughing, sore throat, labored breathing, and chest pain.
Ingestion:No information found, but compound should be handled as a
potential health hazard. May cause irritation to the gastrointestinal tract.
Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Skin Contact:No information found, but compound should be handled as a
potential health hazard. May cause irritation with redness and pain. May be
absorbed through the skin with possible systemic effects.
Eye Contact:No information found, but compound should be handled as a
potential health hazard. May cause irritation, redness and pain.
Chronic Exposure:No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:No information found.
Inhalation:Remove to fresh air. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical
attention.
Ingestion:Give large amounts of water to drink. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact:Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before
reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention if symptoms
occur.
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.
Fire:Not considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion:Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media:Use any means suitable for extinguishing
surrounding fire.
Special Information:In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing
and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece
operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
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.
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.
Airborne Exposure Limits:None established.
Ventilation System:A system of local and/or general exhaust is
recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust
ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the
contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work
area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of
Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
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.
