Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
- If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
- If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if
possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
- Observe the patient carefully.
- Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness;
i.e. becoming unconscious.
- Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can
comfortably drink.
- Seek medical advice.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
- Wash out immediately with fresh running water.
- Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and
moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
- If pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
- Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled
personnel.
SKIN
If skin contact occurs:
- Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear
- Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
- Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
INHALED
- If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
- Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
- Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where
possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
- Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve
resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary.
- Transport to hospital, or doctor.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
Treat symptomatically.
Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
- Water spray or fog.
- Foam.
- Dry chemical powder.
- BCF (where regulations permit).
- Carbon dioxide.

Kaolin dust appears to have fibrogenic potential even in the absence of
crystalline silica. Kaolinosis can exist as simple and complicated forms
with the latter often associated with respiratory symptoms. Crystalline

PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
- Safety glasses with side shields; or as required,
- Chemical goggles.
- Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and
concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or
restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a
review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account
of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal
and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure,
begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens

should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be
removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC
NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].
HANDS/FEET
Wear protective gloves, eg. PVC.
OTHER
- Overalls.
- Eyewash unit.
RESPIRATOR
Selection of the Class and Type of respirator will depend upon the level of breathing
zone contaminant and the chemical nature of the contaminant. Protection Factors (defined
as the ratio of contaminant outside and inside the mask) may also be important.

The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use determine the type of
personal protective equipment required.
For further information consult site specific
CHEMWATCH data (if available), or your
Occupational Health and Safety Advisor.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use in a well-ventilated area.
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. If risk of overexposure
exists, wear SAA approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate
protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.
The liquid is discomforting to the gastro-intestinal tract and may be harmful if
swallowed in large quantity.
Ingestion may result in nausea, abdominal irritation, pain and vomiting.
EYE
The liquid is discomforting to the eyes and is capable of causing a mild, temporary
redness of the conjunctiva (similar to wind-burn), temporary impairment of vision and/ or
other transient eye damage/ ulceration.
SKIN
The liquid is discomforting to the skin if exposure is prolonged and is capable of
causing skin reactions which may lead to dermatitis from repeated exposures over long
periods.
The material may accentuate any pre-existing skin condition.
INHALED
The vapour is discomforting to the upper respiratory tract.
Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.
Inhalation of vapour may aggravate a pre-existing respiratory condition.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal routes of exposure are by accidental skin and eye contact and by inhalation of
vapours especially at higher temperatures.
Prolonged or continuous skin contact with the liquid may cause defatting with drying,
cracking, irritation and dermatitis following.
As with any chemical product, contact with unprotected bare skin; inhalation of vapour,
mist or dust in work place atmosphere; or ingestion in any form, should be avoided by
observing good occupational work practice.
