4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation : Not expected to require first aid measures. Remove to fresh air. Get medical
. attention for any breathing difficulty
Ingestion : If large volumes were swallowed, give water to drink, and get medical advice.
Skin contact : Wash exposed area with soap and water. Get medical advice if irritation
develops.
Eye contact : Wash thoroughly with running water. Get medical advice if irritation develops
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire:
As the most organic solids, fire is possible at elevated temperature or by contact with an
ignition source
Explosion:
Fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition
source is a potential dust explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam or carbon dioxide.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained
breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive
pressure mode.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal
protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Clean up spills in a manner that
does not disperse dust into the air. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Reduce
airborne dust and prevent scattering by moistening with water. Pick up spill for recovery
or disposal and place in a closed container.
7. Handling and Storage
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against
physical damage. Isolate from incompatible substances. Containers of this material may
be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all
warnings and precautions listed for the product.
