======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:EYE:FLUSH THORO W/LG AMTS OF WATER FOR AT LST 15 MINS. GET
MED ATTN. SKIN:WASH W/SOAP & WATER. REMOVE SEVERELY CONTAMINATED
CLOTHING & CLEAN BEFORE REUSE. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IN THE
UNLIKELY EVENT THAT IRRITATION OCCURS. INHAL:REMOVE TOFRESH AIR.
GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT. INGEST:DO NOT GIVE
ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO UNCON PERSON. DO NOT INDUCE VOMIT. GET IMMED

Other Precautions:EMPTY CNTNRS MAY CONTAIN PROD RESIDUES & SHOULD BE
HNDLD APPROPRIATELY. AVOID EMPLOYEE EXPOS THRU USE OF APPROP
ENGINEERING CONTROLS. WHEN INVOLVED IN FIRE/EXPOS TO HIGH TEMPS FOR
EXTENDED PERIOD OF T IME, ORG PIGMENTS MAY SMOLDER/ (ING 7)
Respiratory Protection:NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED DUST RESPIRATORS ARE
RECOMMENDED WHEN HANDLING IN AREAS OF PIGMENT DUSTING.
