**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. Irritating to respiratory
system. Toxic : danger of serious damage to health by prolonged
exposure through inhalation. Possible risk of harm to the unborn
child. Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse
effects in the aquatic environment.Possible risk of irreversible
effects.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. Causes redness and pain.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic
reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
Ingestion:
May be fatal if swallowed. May cause central nervous system effects.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause effects similar to
those described for ingestion. May cause lung damage. May cause
asthma and shortness of breath.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause effects similar to those
of acute inhalation and ingestion.
**** 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:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid immediately. Wash mouth out with 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:
**** 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. Substance is noncombustible.
Extinguishing Media:
Use extinguishing media most appropriate for the surrounding fire.
**** 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. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash hands before eating. Remove
contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Do not get in eyes, on
skin, or on clothing. Do not ingest or inhale. Do not breathe dust or
fumes. Use only with adequate ventilation.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Poison room
locked.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Ventilation is normally required when handling or using this product
to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits. Use only under
a chemical fume hood.
Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes:
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical
safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29
CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use
a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved
respirator when necessary.
