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. In case of contact,
immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water
may be used. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.
Skin Contact: Wash
with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical
attention if irritation develops. Cold water may be used.
Serious Skin Contact: Not available.
Inhalation: If
inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Serious Inhalation: Not available.

Fire Hazards in Presence of Various Substances:
Slightly flammable to flammable in presence of heat.
Non-flammable in presence of shocks.
Explosion Hazards in Presence of Various Substances:
Slightly explosive in presence of open flames and sparks.
Non-explosive in presence of shocks.
Fire Fighting Media and Instructions:
SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder.
LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam. Do not use water jet.
Special Remarks on Fire Hazards: As
with most organic solids, fire is possible at elevated temperatures
Special Remarks on Explosion Hazards:
Fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the
presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard.
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.
Section 7: Handling and Storage Precautions:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Ground all equipment containing
material. Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust. If ingested, seek medical advice
immediately and show the container or the label. Keep away from
incompatibles such as oxidizing agents.
Storage: Keep
container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
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: Safety glasses. 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
