EFFECTS: Not available. 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. Cold water may be used. 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. Cold water may be used.
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.
Serious

Products
of Combustion: These
products are carbon oxides (CO, CO2), nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2...).
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
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.
