Inhalation: Possible nuisance dust effect, sneezing or coughing.
Ingestion: Large oral dosages may produce gastrointestinal disturbances
and irritation.
Skin Contact:
Not expected to be a health hazard from skin exposure.
Eye Contact: No adverse effects expected but dust may cause mechanical
irritation.
Chronic Exposure: Not expected to be a health hazard. Potassium poisoning
may occur in rare cases of long exposure or ingestion.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No adverse health effects
expected.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Get medical
attention for any breathing difficulty.
Ingestion: If large amounts were swallowed, give water to drink and get
medical advice.
Skin Contact: Wash exposed area with soap and water. Get medical advice
if irritation develops.
Eye Contact: Wash thoroughly with running water. Get medical advice if
irritation develops.
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: Use protective clothing and breathing equipment
appropriate for the surrounding fire.
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. 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: In general, dilution ventilation is a satisfactory
health hazard control for this substance. However, if conditions of use create
discomfort to the worker, a local exhaust system should be considered.
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: Safety glasses. Maintain eye wash fountain and
quick-drench facilities in work area.
