Section 3: Hazards Identification Potential Acute Health Effects:
Very hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of
inhalation. Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant, permeator).
Inflammation of the eye is characterized by redness, watering, and itching.
Potential Chronic Health Effects:CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Classified A1 (Confirmed for human.) by
ACGIH, 1 (Proven for human.) by IARC, + (PROVEN) by OSHA. Classified 2
(Reasonably anticipated.) by NTP. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. TERATOGENIC
EFFECTS: Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available. Repeated or
prolonged exposure is not known to aggravate medical condition.
Section 4: First Aid Measures Eye Contact:Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes
with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Cold water may
be used. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: After
contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and thoroughly
wash the contaminated skin with running water and non-abrasive soap. Be
particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. Cold water may
be used. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. If irritation persists,
seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.
Serious Skin Contact: Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with
an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate medical attention.
Inhalation: Allow
the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious Inhalation: Not available.
Ingestion:Do not induce vomiting. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain
whether the tissues are damaged, a possible indication that the toxic material
was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive. Loosen
tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not
breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek immediate medical
attention.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures Small Spill:
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:Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal
container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and
allow to evacuate through the sanitary system. Be careful that the product is
not present at a concentration level above TLV. Check TLV on the MSDS and with
local authorities.
Section 7: Handling and Storage Precautions:
Keep locked up Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of
ignition. 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. 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
oxidizing agents, acids.
Storage:Keep container dry. Keep in a cool place. Ground all equipment
containing material. Carcinogenic, teratogenic or mutagenic materials should be
stored in a separate locked safety storage cabinet or room.
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.
Exposure Limits: TWA: 0.1 (mg/m3) Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure
limits.
