3. Hazards Identification

Inhalation: Irritation of mucous membranes.
Ingestion: None identified.
Skin Contact: Irritation.
Eye Contact: Irritation.
Chronic Exposure: No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found.


4. First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
Ingestion: If large amounts were swallowed, give water to drink and get medical advice.
Skin Contact: In case of contact, flush skin with water.
Eye Contact: In case of eye contact, immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.


5. Fire Fighting Measures

Fire: Not expected to be a fire hazard.
Explosion: Strong oxidizer. Contact with combustible materials, flammable materials, or powdered metals can cause fire or explosion.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Water spray.
Special Information: Firefighters should wear proper protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in positive pressure mode. Move exposed containers from fire area if it can be done without risk. Use water to keep fire-exposed containers cool.


6. Accidental Release Measures

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material. With clean shovel, carefully place material into clean, dry container and cover; remove from area. Flush spill area with water.
 


7. Handling and Storage

Keep container tightly closed. Store separately and away from flammable and combustible materials. 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.
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 the substance is apparent and engineering controls are not feasble, consult an industrial hygienist. For emergencies, or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection: Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
