Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation:May cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may
include coughing and shortness of breath.
Ingestion:Toxic. Harmful if swallowed. May cause irritation to the
gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Skin Contact:Mild irritant, may cause local redness.
Eye Contact:Causes mild irritation, possible reddening.
Chronic Exposure:No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:No information found.
Inhalation:Remove to fresh air. Get medical
attention for any breathing difficulty.
Ingestion:Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact:Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at
least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention.
Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact:Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention
immediately.
Fire:May pose a slight fire hazard when exposed to
heat or flame.
Explosion:Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media:Use any means suitable for extinguishing
surrounding fire. Water or foam may cause frothing.
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 any source of heat or ignition. Isolate from oxidizing 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.
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 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.
Appearance: Orange-yellow powder.
Odor: Odorless.
Solubility: Soluble in 500 parts water.

Vapor Density (Air=1): No information found.
Vapor Pressure (mm Hg): Not applicable.
Evaporation Rate (BuAc=1): No information found.
Stability: Stable under ordinary conditions of use
and storage.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: May form carbon oxides, nitrogen
oxides, and sulfur oxides when heated to decomposition.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizing agents.
Conditions to Avoid: Heat, flames, ignition sources and incompatibles.
Environmental Fate:When released into the soil, this
material may leach into groundwater. When released into water, this material is
not expected to evaporate significantly. This material has an estimated
bioconcentration factor (BCF) of less than 100. When released into the air, this
material is expected to be readily removed from the atmosphere by wet
deposition.
Environmental Toxicity:No information found.
Whatever cannot be saved for recovery or recycling should be managed in an appropriate and approved waste disposal facility. Processing, use or contamination of this product may change the waste management options. State and local disposal regulations may differ from federal disposal regulations. Dispose of container and unused contents in accordance with federal, state and local requirements.
