4 FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If cough, irritation, or difficulty in breathing persist or develops, call a physician.
Skin Contact: Do not rub skin. Rinse skin free of material with water to avoid abrasion of skin. Wash thoroughly
with soap and water. SOLVENTS SHOULD NOT BE USED because they carry the irritant into the
skin.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with large amounts of water until subsides. If necessary gently hold open eyelids
during the flush. If irritation persists, get medical attention.
Ingestion: May cause caustic burns and tissue damage. Administer milk or water. Do not induce vomiting.
Call a physician or Poison Control Center immediately. Do not give anything orally to an
unconscious person.

6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled. No hazard. Vacuum or sweep up and dispose of in standard landfill. Avoid excessive
dusting.
Waste Disposal Method: Preferred procedure is to vacuum material. Otherwise, spray with water and clean up with broom and shovel. Dispose of in
accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
