Primary Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic):
Carcinogenity Listings:
OSHA: ()
NTP: ()
IARC: ()
Signs & Symptoms of Exposure:
Ingestion: Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be low. Small amounts
1
swallowed incidental to normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury;
swallowing amounts larger than that may cause injury. Ingestion may cause
gastrointestinal irritation or ulcerations.
Inhalation: Vapors are unlikely due to physical properties. Dust may cause
irritation to upper respiratory tract.
Skin Contact: Short single exposure not likely to cause significant skin irritation.
Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause skin irritation, even a burn.
May cause more severe response if skin is damp or if material is confined
to skin. May cause more severe response if skin is abraded (scratched or
cut). When dissolving, the heat produced may cause more intense effects
as well as thermal burns. Not classified as corrosive according to DOT. A
single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being
absorbed through skin in harmful amounts.
Eye Contact: Product may cause slight eye irritation. Dusts may cause severe
irritation with corneal injury. Effects may be slow to heal. When
dissolving, the heat produced may cause more intense effects as well as
thermal burns.
Systemic & Other Effects: No relevant information found.
Medical Conditions Aggravated By Exposure:
IV 鈥? FIRST AID MEASURES
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed
to do so by medical personnel.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air if effects occur. Consult a physician.
Skin Contact: Wash off in flowing water or shower.
Eye Contact: Irrigate with flowing water immediately and continuously for 15 minutes.
Consult medical personnel.

Extinguishing Media: This material does not burn. If exposed to fire from another source,
use suitable extinguishing agent for that fire.
Special Fire-fighting Procedures: Keep people away. Isolate fire area and deny
unnecessary entry.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Not applicable
Protective Equipment for Fire Fighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) and full protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting

VI鈥? ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps To Be Taken In Case Material Is Spilled Or Released:
Protect People: Isolate area. Avoid contact with eyes and skin, may be a slipping
hazard. Stop leak if it can be done safely. Wash exposed body areas thoroughly
after handling. Use appropriate safety equipment.
Protect the environment: For small spills: losses incidental to correct applications
of this product in its intended uses are not expected to be harmful to the
environment.
For large spills: Avoid contamination of drinking water, natural water, ground
water or any waterway. Losses incidental to correct applications of this product
in its intended uses are not expected to be harmful to the environment.
Cleanup: For small spills: Contain spill if possible. Collect material in suitable
and properly labeled containers. Flush residue with plenty of water.
For large spills: Dike and transfer to suitable and properly labeled containers.
Flush residue with plenty of water.
VII 鈥? HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to Be Taken in Handling and Storage:
Handling: Heat developed during diluting or dissolving is very high. Use cool
water when diluting or dissolving (temperature less that 80掳F, 27掳C).
Storage: Keep containers tightly closed when not is use. Store in a dry place,
protect from atmospheric moisture.
Other Precautions:
VIII 鈥? EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory Protection: In dusty atmospheres, use an approved dust respirator.
Atmospheric levels should be maintained below the exposure guideline.
Ventilation: Provide general and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne levels
below the exposure guidelines.
Other protective clothing or Equipment:
Eye/Face Protection: Use safety glasses. For dusty operations or when handling solutions
of the material, wear chemical goggles.
Skin Protection: When prolonged or frequently contact could occur, use protective
clothing impervious to this material. Selection of specific items such as face
shields, gloves, boots, apron or full-body suits will depend on the operation.
Remove contaminated clothing immediately, wash skin area with soap and water
and launder clothing before reuse. If hands are cut or scratched, use gloves
impervious to this material even for brief exposures.
