Section
3: Hazards Identification Potential Acute Health Effects:
Very
hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of
ingestion, of inhalation. Hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive), of eye
contact (corrosive). Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (permeator). 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.
Prolonged exposure may result in skin burns and ulcerations. Over-exposure by
inhalation may cause respiratory irritation.
Inflammation
of the eye is characterized by redness, watering, and itching. Skin inflammation
is characterized by itching,
scaling, reddening, or, occasionally, blistering.
Potential
Chronic Health Effects:
CARCINOGENIC
EFFECTS: Not available. 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. Get
medical attention immediately.
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. Cold water may be used. 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 medical attention.
Inhalation:If
inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.
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
container dry. Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep
away from combustible material.. Ground all equipment containing material. Do
not breathe dust. Never add water to this product. In case of insufficient
ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. If you feel unwell, seek
medical attention and show the label when possible. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes. Keep away from incompatibles such as reducing agents, combustible
materials, organic materials, metals. Storage:
Keep
container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
