Irritant
FIRST-AID MEASURES EYES: Flush with water for 15 minutes. Seek medical advice if irritation persists.
SKIN: Flush with water, then wash thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and wash
before reuse. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
INHALATION: Remove the victim from exposure and move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If
not breathing, give artificial respiration. Keep victim quiet and warm. Seek immediate medical attention.
INGESTION: Drink water and seek immediate medical attention. Avoid alcoholic beverages. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
FIRE-FIGHTING INFORMATION Use media suitable to extinguish the supporting or surrounding fire. Wear NIOSH (or equivalent) approved self
contained breathing apparatus. For small fires only: use carbon dioxide, dry powder or foam. Organic dusts can
form explosive mixtures in air. Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions.
Flash Point = No data available.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and clothing including lab coat, safety glasses, gloves and NIOSH-
approved respirator. Collect in a manner that does not create dust and place in a suitable waste container. Avoid
contact of material with skin or eyes. Use adequate ventilation.
HANDLING AND STORAGE Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and clothing including lab coat, safety glasses, gloves and NIOSH-
approved respirator. Avoid contact of material with skin or eyes. Use adequate ventilation. Store in a cool, dry
place away from incompatible materials.
PERSONAL PROTECTION Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and clothing including lab coat, safety glasses, gloves and NIOSH-
approved respirator. A qualified industrial hygienist should evaluate the need for respiratory protection. Use
respiratory protection approved by NIOSH (or equivalent) and appropriate to the hazard. Avoid contact of material
with skin or eyes. Mechanical ventilation or local exhaust as needed to control exposure to dust, vapors or mists.
Access to a safety shower and eye-wash.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: To the best of our knowledge the chemical, physical and toxicological properties
have not been thoroughly investigated.
EYES: Contact may cause irritation. Symptoms may include stinging, tearing, redness and swelling of eyes.
SKIN: Contact may cause irritation.
INHALATION: Material may be irritating to mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. Although nuisance dust
created by this material may cause respiratory tract irritation, this dust does not form scar tissue or affect the
structure of air spaces in the lungs. Their effects on tissues are potentially reversible.
