Potential Acute Health Effects:
Very hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant),
of ingestion, of inhalation. Inflammation of the eye
is characterized by redness, watering, and itching. Skin inflammation is
characterized by itching, scaling, reddening, or,
occasionally, blistering.
Potential Chronic Health Effects:
Very hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant),
of ingestion, of inhalation. CARCINOGENIC
EFFECTS: Not available. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. TERATOGENIC EFFECTS:
Not available.
DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available. The substance is toxic to kidneys,
lungs, mucous membranes. Repeated or
prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated
or prolonged inhalation of dust may lead
to chronic respiratory irritation.
Section 4: First Aid Measures
p. 2
Eye Contact: Check for and remove any
contact lenses. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact:
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and

Section 7: Handling and Storage
Precautions:
Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty containers pose
a fire risk, evaporate the residue under a
fume hood. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not ingest. Do not
breathe dust. In case of insufficient ventilation,
p. 3
wear suitable respiratory equipment If ingested, seek medical advice
immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes
Storage:
Keep container dry. Keep in a cool place. Ground all equipment containing
material. Keep container tightly closed. Keep in a
cool, well-ventilated place. Combustible materials should be stored away from
extreme heat and away from strong oxidizing
agents.
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:
Splash goggles. 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.
