                  **** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION **** 
 
                               EMERGENCY OVERVIEW 
Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin.Moisture sensitive. 
 
Potential Health Effects 
     Eye: 
          Causes severe eye irritation and possible injury. 
     Skin: 
          Causes skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic 
          reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. 
     Ingestion: 
          May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and 
          diarrhea. Excessive intake of citric acid may cause erosion of the 
          teeth. 
     Inhalation: 
          Causes respiratory tract irritation. 
     Chronic: 
          Repeated exposure may cause sensitization dermatitis. 
 
                    **** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES **** 
 
     Eyes: 
          Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, 
          occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid. Do 
          NOT allow victim to rub or keep eyes closed. 
     Skin: 
          Flush skin with plenty of soap and 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: 
          Do NOT induce vomiting. 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. 
     Inhalation: 
          Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If breathing is 
          difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth 
          resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration 
          using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a 
          mask. 
     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. This 
          material in sufficient quantity and reduced particle size is capable 
          of creating a dust explosion. 
     Extinguishing Media: 
          Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam. Use 
          agent most appropriate to extinguish fire. Do NOT get water inside 
          containers. 
 
                **** 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. Very fine particles can cause a fire or explosion. 
          Eliminate all ignition sources. Clean up spills immediately, 
          observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Avoid 
          generating dusty conditions. Remove all sources of ignition. Provide 
          ventilation. Spill may be neutralized with lime. Do not get water 
          inside containers. 
 
                   **** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE **** 
 
     Handling: 
          Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. 
          Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, 
          skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion 
          and inhalation. Do not allow contact with water. Keep from contact 
          with moist air and steam. 
     Storage: 
          Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, 
          well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Store 
          protected from moisture. 
 
          **** 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 
          ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low. 
     Personal Protective Equipment 
 
                 Eyes:

                       safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face 
                       protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European

             Clothing: 
                       Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin 
                       exposure. 
          Respirators: 
                       Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29CFR 
                       1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use a
