Notes to Physician:
**** 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. This material in sufficient quantity and reduced
particle size is capable of creating a dust explosion.
Extinguishing Media:
In case of fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or
alcohol-resistant 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.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Keep from contact with
oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry area away from
incompatible substances.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 119-61-9:
Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes:
