4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
INHALATION:
Inhalation is not an expected route of exposure. If overcome by finely ground or heated
fumes, immediately remove victim to fresh air. If victim has stopped breathing, give artificial
respiration, preferably mouth to mouth. Get medical attention immediately.
EYE CONTACT:
If finely ground dust gets in eyes, immediately flush eyes with plenty of cool water to
remove particles from eyes.
SKIN CONTACT:
If molten or heated material contact to unprotected skin, wash affected area, with plenty of
water.
INGESTION:
Rinse mouth with water. Give the person one or two glasses of water, try to get the victim
to vomit. Arrange for transport to the nearest medical facility for examination and
treatment by a physician as soon as possible.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
SPECIFIC HAZARDS:
Toxic gases(carbon monoxide) may form when burned without sufficient oxygen.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Dry chemical powder, water and carbon dioxide, are effective.
EXTINGUISHING METHOD:

Fire fighter should wear self-contained breathing apparatus with full-face peace operated in
positive pressure mode when there is a possibility of exposure to smoke, fumes or
hazardous decomposition.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
METHOD FOR CLEANING UP:
Normal procedures for clean up. Use good housekeeping practices. Contain spilled
material. Transfer to secure containers.
PERSONAL PRECAUTION:
Wear appropriate respiratory protection and protective clothing as described in section 8.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING:
When handling finely ground pellets, ground all transfer, blending and dust-collecting
equipment to prevent static sparks. Remove all ignition sources from material handling,
transfer and processing areas where dust may be present. Mechanical and local exhaust
should be provided in work areas. Do not use near open flame or areas where smoking is
permitted. Pellets spilled on walking surfaces constitute a slipping hazard. Work areas
should be kept clean and free pellets.
STORAGE:
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location, and store in a damp-proof bag not to absorb
moisture.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
PEL (OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit): No OSHA PEL for this compound.
For nuisance dust; 15 mg/m3 (respirable)-8hours TWA
TLV (ACGIH Threshold Limited Value): No ACGIH TLV for this compound.
For nuisance dust: 10 mg/m3-8hours TWA
ENGINEERING MEASURES:
Use with local exhaust ventilation. Make available emergency shower and eye wash in the
work area.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
Where exposure is likely to exceed acceptable criteria, use NIOSH/MSHA approved
respiratory protection equipment. Respirators should be selected based on the form and
concentration of contamination in air.
EYE PROTECTION:
Wear eye protection appropriate to prevent eye exposure. Chemical safety glasses with
side shields, chemical goggles or full face shields are recommended.
HAND, SKIN AND BODY PROTECTION:
Wear heat protective gloves and clothing if there is a potential contact with heated
materials.
