First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If breathing stops, provide artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Eye contact: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove contact lenses. Get medical attention.
Skin contact: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash
contaminated clothing before reuse. Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes.
Ingestion: Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Only induce vomiting at the instruction of medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: May irritate and cause redness and pain. May cause skin depigmentation.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Hazards: None known.
Treatment: Treat symptomatically.
Fire-fighting measures
General fire hazards: Material can accumulate static charges which may cause an electrical spark (ignition source). Use proper bonding and/or grounding procedures.
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media:Water spray. Dry chemical. Carbon Dioxide.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: None known.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: Powdered material may form explosive dust-air mixtures.
Advice for firefighters Special fire fighting procedures: Minimize dust generation and accumulation.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
Environmental precautions: Avoid release to the environment.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Sweep up and place in a clearly labeled container for chemical waste.
Large Spillages: Flush spill area with water spray. Prevent runoff from entering drains, sewers, or streams. Dike for later disposal.
Notification Procedures: In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in
accordance with all applicable regulations.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
Environmental precautions: Avoid release to the environment.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Sweep up and place in a clearly labeled container for chemical waste.
Large Spillages: Flush spill area with water spray. Prevent runoff from entering drains, sewers, or streams. Dike for later disposal.
Notification Procedures: In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable regulations.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling: Avoid breathing dust. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not taste or swallow. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Keep container closed.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls: Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If
exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
General information: Eye bath. Washing facilities. Safety shower.
Eye/face protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Skin protection
Hand protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, footwear, and protective clothing appropriate for the risk of exposure. Contact health and safety professional
or manufacturer for specific information.
Other: No data available
Respiratory Protection: If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not been established), an approved respirator must be worn. In the United States of America, if respirators are used, a program should be instituted to assure compliance with OSHA Standard 63 FR 1152, January 8, 1998. Respirator type: Airpurifying respirator with an appropriate, government approved (where applicable), air-purifying filter, cartridge or canister. Contact health and safety professional or manufacturer for specific information.
Hygiene measures: Observe good industrial hygiene practices.
Environmental Controls: No data available.
Stability and reactivity
Reactivity: None known.
Chemical stability: Stable
Possibility of hazardous reactions: None known.
Conditions to avoid: None at ambient temperatures.
Incompatible materials: Strong oxidizing agents.
Hazardous decomposition products: Carbon Dioxide. Carbon Monoxide.
Disposal considerations
Waste treatment methods
General information: No data available.
Disposal methods: Dispose of waste and residues in accordance with local authority
requirements. Incinerate. Since emptied containers retain product residue,
follow label warnings even after container is emptied.
