Section
3: Hazards Identification Potential Acute Health Effects:
Very
hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of ingestion. Hazardous in case of
eye contact (irritant), of inhalation. Slightly hazardous in case of skin
contact (permeator). Corrosive to eyes and skin. The amount of tissue damage
depends on length of contact. Eye contact can result in corneal damage or
blindness. Skin contact can produce inflammation and blistering.Inhalation of
dust will produce irritation to gastro-intestinal or respiratory tract,
characterized by burning, sneezing and coughing. Severe over-exposure can
produce lung damage, choking, unconsciousness or death.
Potential
Chronic Health Effects:
CARCINOGENIC
EFFECTS: A4 (Not classifiable for human or animal.) by ACGIH. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS:
Not available.
TERATOGENIC
EFFECTS: Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available. Repeated exposure
of the eyes to a low level of dust can produce eye irritation. Repeated skin
exposure can produce local skin destruction, or dermatitis. Repeated inhalation
of dust can produce varying degree of respiratory irritation or lung damage.
Section
4: First Aid Measures Eye Contact:
Check
for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes
with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. WARM water
MUST be used. Get medical attention.
Skin
Contact: In case of
contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Cover the irritated skin with an
emollient. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get
medical attention immediately.
Serious
Skin Contact: Wash with a
disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream.
Seek immediate medical attention.
Inhalation:
If
inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Serious
Inhalation:
Evacuate
the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a
collar, tie, belt or waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If
the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. WARNING: It
may be hazardous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or corrosive. Seek
immediate medical attention.
Ingestion:
Do
NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material
are swallowed, call a physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing such as a
collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Serious
Ingestion: Not available.

keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations
generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne
contaminants below the exposure limit.
Personal
Protection:
Splash
goggles. Synthetic apron. Vapor and dust respirator. Be sure to use an
approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Gloves.
Personal
Protection in Case of a Large Spill:
Splash
goggles. Full suit. Vapor and dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained
breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested
protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE
handling this product.
Exposure
Limits: TWA: 0.5 Consult
