4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth.
If breathing is difficult give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Get
medical attention.
Eye Contact: Remove contact lenses. Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, holding
eyelids apart to ensure flushing of the entire surface. Washing within one minute is essential to
achieve maximum effectiveness. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting should occur spontaneously, keep the airway clear. Get
medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Notes To Physician: Treat symptomatically.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point (掳F/掳C) Not Determined
Flash Point Method: N/A
Autoignition Temp. (掳F): > 572掳 F/300掳 C
Flammable Limits in Air - Lower (%): Not Determined
Flammable Limits in Air - Upper (%): Not Determined
Extinguishing Media: Water fog, carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical.
Fire Fighting Procedures: Cool exposed containers with water spray after extinguishing fire.
Special Exposure Hazards: Avoid creating explosive concentrations of dust. Fine powders may
present dust explosion hazards.
Special Protective Equipment: Electrical grounding of equipment is required when handling powder to
prevent possible dust explosion. Full protective clothing and approved
self-contained breathing apparatus required for fire fighting personnel.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Procedure for Cleaning/Absorption: Stop leaks. Clean up spill immediately. Contain large spills and remove using a
vacuum truck. Soak up small spills with absorbent material and place in labeled
waste container for disposal. Spills of solution are extremely slippery so all
residue must be removed promptly. Wear adequate personal protective clothing
and equipment. Remove ignition sources and work with non-sparking tools.
Ventilate area. Shovel into labeled waste container for reuse or disposal. Avoid
creating explosive concentrations of dust. Prevent scattering by moistening with
water. Do not permit solutions of product into sewers or waterways.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS: CAUTION!
MAY CAUSE IRRITATION.
Handling: FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
Avoid generating or breathing dust.
Use only in a well-ventilated area.
Use respiratory protection where dust may be generated.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
Conveying and processing equipment should be spark-proof, electrically bonded
and grounded.
Keep container closed when not in use.
Do not take internally.
Keep away from heat and open flame.
Storage: Store at 15 - 25掳 C (59 - 77掳 F) in original closed containers.
Keep away from heat, flame, sparks and other ignition sources.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation as necessary to maintain exposures to within applicable
limits. Please refer to the ACGIH document, "Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of
Recommended Practices", most recent edition, for details.
Respiratory Protection: When exposures exceed the PEL or TLV, use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator
in accordance with OSHA Respiratory Protection Requirements under 29 CFR
1910.134.
Gloves: Appropriate chemical resistant gloves should be worn.
Skin Protection: Normal work coveralls.
Eye Protection: Chemical goggles or a face shield if splashing hazard exists.
Other Personal Protection Data: Eyewash fountains and safety showers must be easily accessible.
