                  **** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION **** 
 
                               EMERGENCY OVERVIEW 
Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. 
 
Potential Health Effects 
     Eye: 
          Causes eye irritation. 
     Skin: 
          Causes skin irritation. 
     Ingestion: 
          May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and 
          diarrhea. The toxicological properties of this substance have not 
          been fully investigated. May cause central nervous system effects 
          and/or neurological effects. 
     Inhalation: 
          May cause effects similar to those described for ingestion. 
     Chronic: 
          May cause cancer according to animal studies. 
 
                    **** 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 
          immediately. 
     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: 
          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. 
     Inhalation: 
          Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh 
          air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If 
          breathing is difficult, give oxygen. 
     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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases 
          may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Vapors may 
          be heavier than air.  They can spread along the ground and collect 
          in low or confined areas. 
     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: 
          Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), 
          then place in suitable container. Clean up spills immediately, 
          observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide 
          ventilation. 
 
                   **** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE **** 
 
     Handling: 
          Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and 
          wash before reuse. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep 
          container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. 
     Storage: 
          Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry, 
          well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. 
 
          **** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION **** 
 
     Engineering Controls: 
          Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne 
          concentrations below the permissible exposure limits. Use process 
          enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls 
          to control airborne levels.

                 Skin: 
                       Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing to 
                       prevent skin exposure. 
             Clothing: 
                       Wear appropriate protective clothing to minimize 
                       contact with skin. 
          Respirators: 
                       Wear a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149
