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. Get
medical attention.
Skin
Contact: In case of

Skin Contact: Wash with a
disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream.
Seek medical attention.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to
fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is

Section
6: Accidental Release Measures
Small
Spill: Use appropriate
tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container.
Large
Spill: Oxidizing material.
Stop leak if without risk. Avoid contact with a combustible material (wood,
paper, oil, clothing...). Keep substance damp using water spray. Do not touch
spilled material. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike
if needed. Eliminate all ignition sources. Call for assistance on disposal.
Section
7: Handling and Storage Precautions:
Keep
away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep away from combustible
material.. Empty containers pose a fire risk, evaporate the residue under a fume
hood. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not ingest. Do not breathe
dust. Wear suitable protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation,
wear suitable respiratory equipment. If ingested, seek medical advice
immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes. Keep away from incompatibles such as reducing agents, organic materials.
Storage:
Keep container tightly
closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Separate from acids,
alkalies, reducing agents and combustibles. See NFPA 43A, Code for the Storage
of Liquid and Solid Oxidizers.
Section
8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Engineering Controls:
Use
process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to
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. Lab coat. 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. 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.
