EMERGENCY
OVERVIEW
Appearance: white to yellow solid.
Caution! May cause allergic skin reaction. May cause irritation. This is expected to be a low hazard for
usual industrial handling.
Target Organs: None.
Potential
Health Effects
Eye: Dust may cause mechanical irritation.
Skin: May cause skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes
evident upon re-exposure to this material. Low hazard for usual industrial handling.
Ingestion: Ingestion of large amounts may cause gastrointestinal irritation. Expected to be a low
ingestion hazard.
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. Low hazard for usual industrial handling.
Chronic: No information found.
Section
4 - First Aid Measures
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower
eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin: Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and
shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists.
Ingestion: If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Get medical aid.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. Get medical aid if cough or
other symptoms appear.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Section
5 - Fire Fighting Measures
