4 FIRST-AID MEASURES INHALATION
Always seek medical attention after first aid measures are provided.
Move the exposed person to fresh air at once. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.
Ingestion: NEVER MAKE AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON VOMIT OR DRINK FLUIDS! Immediately rinse mouth and provide fresh air. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.
Skin Contact: Remove affected person from source of contamination. Remove contaminated clothing and affected body parts with soap and water. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.
Eye Contact: Promptly wash eyes with plenty of water while lifting the eye lids. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention.
Inhalation: If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician.
5 FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray. Foam, carbon dioxide or dry powder.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: Carbon oxides
Advice for firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. At high temperatures under fire conditions, it may produce toxic or irritating fumes.
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures: Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.).
Environmental precautions: Do not let the product enter drains, soil, or water sources.
Methods and materials used for containment Cleanup procedures and Storage: Do not inhale dust, vapors, mist, or gas. Avoid dust formation. Contain spilled material. Cover with an inert, non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite). Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container.
7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling: Apply according to good manufacturing and industrial hygiene practices. Ensure proper ventilation. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not drink, eat, or smoke while handling. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Minimize dust generation. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.).
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in cool, dry, and ventilated area away from heat sources and protected from sunlight in tightly closed original container. Keep air contact to a minimum. Store protected from heat, sparks and ignition sources and incompatible materials. Avoid inhalation of dust/mist/vapor. Do not store with incompatible materials like strong oxidizing agents.
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure limit(s): Not established.
Engineering Measures: Provide adequate general and local exhaust ventilation.
Respiratory Equipment: No specific recommendation made, but protection against nuisance dust must be used when the general level exceeds 10 mg/m3.
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator may be worn.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Other Control Measures: Maintain good housekeeping in work area. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
