Always seek medical attention after first aid measures are provided.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wipe off excess material from skin then immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Flammability of the Product: Flammable.
Suitable extinguishing media: Carbon dioxide (CO2). Extinguishing powder. Water spray (fog). Alcohol resistant foam.
Auto-Ignition Temperature: 520.
Flash Points: 50C
Flammable Limits: Not available.
Products of Combustion: Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide, Toxic fumes.
Fire: Inflammable.
Explosion: Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system. Explosive in presence of heat.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use water spray or fog. Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Vapors can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. Never direct a water jet in the container in order to prevent any splashing of the product which could cause spreading of the fire. Cool containing vessels with water jet in order to prevent pressure build-up, auto-ignition or explosion.
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. Keep away from sources of ignition. Prevent fire fighting water from entering surface water or groundwater.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Small Spill: Avoid mist formation. Avoid breathing mist. Ensure adequate ventilation. Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements.
Large Spill: Remove all sources of ignition. Provide proper ventilation. Absorb the material on a porous, inert material such as earth, sand or vermiculite. Carefully sweep up the material without causing dust. Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
Large liquid spillages should be contained by use of sand or another inert material. Dyke to collect large liquid spills. Pump up the product into a spare container suitably labeled. The spillage should be transferred to a suitable container and recovered or disposed of in accordance with local regulations. Because of the danger of spontaneous combustion, any combustible material, such as cloth, used for cleaning spillages, should be saturated with water and disposed of promptly, preferably by incineration.
7. Handling and Storage
Do not ingest. Do not breathe vapors or mist. Wear suitable protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. Do not eat, drink and smoke in work areas. Wash hands after use. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. If you feel unwell, seek medical attention.
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Keep the product in its original container well sealed, in a dry and ventilated area, away from potential sources of ignition and protected from light. Protect against physical damage.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits:|
USA ACGIH TLV: TWA: 5 ppm; STEL: 10 ppm
USA OSHA PEL: (Vacated) TWA: 5 ppm, (Vacated) TWA: 9 mg/m3; TWA: 5 ppm, TWA: 9 mg/m3
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area.
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. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.
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. Wash hands after handling.
