 **** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
 
 EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
 Harmful if swallowed. May cause sensitization by inhalation and skin
 contact. Contact with combustible material may cause fire.
 
 Potential Health Effects
 Eye:
 Causes eye irritation.
 Skin:
 Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause irritation and/or
 dermatitis. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction,
 which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
 Ingestion:
 Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
 diarrhea. May be harmful if swallowed.
 Inhalation:
 Dust is irritating to the respiratory tract. May cause
 methemoglobinemia, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to
 deficient oxygenation of the blood), convulsions, tachycardia,
 dyspnea (labored breathing), and death. May cause asthmatic attacks
 due to allergic sensitization of the respiratory tract.
 Chronic:
 Repeated exposure may cause allergic respiratory reaction (asthma).
 
 **** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
 
 Eyes:
 Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
 occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
 Skin:
 Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
 removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if
 irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
 Ingestion:
 Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
 aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and
 drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
 Inhalation:
 Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
 breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
 give oxygen. Get medical aid.
 Notes to Physician:
 Administration of calcium disodium EDTA may be useful in acute
 poisoning with its use at the discretion of qualified medical
 personnel.
 
 **** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
 
 General Information:
 As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
 pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
 protective gear. Strong oxidizer. Contact with other material may
 cause fire. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be
 generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
 Extinguishing Media:
 Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire. Use water spray, dry
 chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.
 
 **** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
 
 General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
 in Section 8.
 Spills/Leaks:
 Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
 container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
 Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
 Provide ventilation.
 
 **** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
 
 Handling:
 Wash hands before eating. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid
 contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed.
 Avoid contact with clothing and other combustible materials.
 Storage:
 Do not store near combustible materials. Store in a tightly closed
 container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
 incompatible substances.
 
 **** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
 
 Engineering Controls:
 Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
 with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or
 local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
 permissible exposure limits.

 NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved
 respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if
 irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
