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.
Serious
Ingestion: Not available.

Section
7: Handling and Storage
Precautions: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. 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
Storage:Keep
container dry. Keep in a cool place. Ground all equipment containing material.
Keep container tightly closed. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place.
Combustible materials should be stored away from extreme heat and away from
strong oxidizing agents.
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.
