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. 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.
Ingestion: Give several glasses of water to drink to dilute. If large amounts were swallowed, get medical advice.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, get medical attention.
Section 5: FIRE & EXPLOSION DATA
Fire: Not considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion: Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Fighting Media and Instructions: Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire.
Special Remarks: Use protective clothing and breathing equipment appropriate for surrounding fire.
Section 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Small Spill: Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Use respiratory protection and eye protection.
Large Spill: Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Vacuuming or wet sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal. Use respiratory protection and eye protection.
Section 7: HANDLING & STORAGE
Storage: Keep container tightly closed. Suitable for any general chemical storage area. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
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. Respirator (NIOSH Approved). Gloves.
