3. Hazards
Identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white powder.
Caution! May cause eye and skin irritation. May cause
respiratory and digestive tract irritation. This is expected to be a low hazard
for usual industrial handling.
Target Organs: None.
Potential Health Effects
Eye: May cause eye irritation.
Skin: May cause skin irritation.
Ingestion: May cause irritation of the digestive tract. Low
hazard for usual industrial handling.
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. Low hazard
for usual industrial handling.
Chronic: None
4. First Aid
Measures
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least
15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid
imme diately.
Skin: Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation
develops or persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and
alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air
immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
5. Fire Fighting
Measures
General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained
breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and
full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be
generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
Extinguishing Media: In case of fire, use water, dry chemical,
chemical foam, or alcohol-resistant foam. Water spray may cause frothing.
Flash Point: Not applicable.
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 1; Flammability: 0;
Instability: 0
6. Accidental Release Measures
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment
as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a
suitable disposal container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions
in the Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide
ventilation.
7. Handling and
Storage
Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate
ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and
inhalation.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Keep containers tightly closed.
8. Exposure
Controls, Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations low.
