Notes to Physician:
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent contact with skin
and eyes. Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) to
prevent contact with thermal decomposition products. Substance is
noncombustible.
Extinguishing Media:
Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to
extinguish 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. 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. Minimize dust generation and
accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep
container tightly closed. Do not ingest or inhale.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible
substances.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
