SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA (cont
PRIMARY ROUTE OF ENTRY- Inhalation, dust contact with the eyes.
CHEMICAL LISTED AS CARCINOGEN OR POTENTIAL CARCINOGEN:
NTP: no IARC: no OSHA: no
EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE-
EYES- Mildly irritating. Excessive contact with powder can cause drying of mucous membranes of eyes due to
absorption of moisture and oils. May cause eye irritation.
SKIN- Mildly irritating.
INHALATION- Nuisance dust. Excessive contact with powder can cause drying of mucous membranes of nose
and throat due to absorption of moisture and oils. This material can also cause nasal irritation and nosebleeds.
INGESTION- Not significantly toxic.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE- Persons with breathing problems or lung disease
should not work in dusty areas unless a physician approves and certifies their fitness to wear respiratory
protection. Pre-existing upper respiratory and lung disease such as, but not limited to bronchitis, emphysema and
asthma.

SECTION VIII - SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: MINIMIZE SPILL AREA. Vacuum
spill material and place in closed plastic bags for disposal.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: In accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
SECTION IX - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Use a respirator such as 3M 9900 or equivalent for protection against
pneumoconiosis producing dusts.
VENTILATION: Provide explosion proof ventilation as required to control airborne dust levels. The sum total of
all ingredients may emit vapors during normal processing. All possible health effects are not known and individual
sensitivities will vary. Effective exhaust ventilation should always be provided to draw dust, fumes and vapors
away from workers to prevent routine inhalation. Ventilation should be adequate to maintain ambient workplace
atmosphere below the limits listed in Section V.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Impervious gloves to protect against contact with product.
EYE PROTECTION: Safety goggles.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Protective clothing, eye wash station, safety shower.
SECTION X - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
HANDLING AND STORAGE: Handling can create explosive dust clouds. Eliminate ignition sources, use
explosive proof equipment. Conveying and processing equipment should be spark-proof, well bonded and
grounded. Avoid dust accumulations.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Wash with soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking, or using toilet facilities.
Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.
