Section 4 — First Aid Measures
Route(s) of Exposure Symptoms
First Aid
Wash off with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Rinse with water. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Rinse mouth, Do NOT induce vomiting, get medical advice/ attention if you feel unwell. If dust from the material is inhaled, remove the affected person immediately to fresh air. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist.
Skin
May cause skin irritation.
Direct contact with eyes may cause temporary irritation. May cause gastrointestinal irritation
Eye
Ingestion
May cause respiratory irritation.
Inhaled
Section 5 — Fire-Fighting Measures
Suitable Extinguishing Media:
Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
Unsuitable Media:
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards:
None
Special Firefighting Procedures:
Exercise caution when responding to any fire. Firefighters should wear full protective gear, and breathing apparatus. During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed. Use water spray to cool unopened containers.

Section 6 — Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions:
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/ leak. Keep out of low areas. Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator if there is a risk of exposure to dust/fume at levels exceeding the exposure limits. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Avoid inhalation of dust from the spilled material. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. This product is miscible in water. Dike far ahead of spill for later disposal. If sweeping of a contaminated area is necessary use a dustsuppressant agent which does not react with the product. Collect dust using a vacuum cleaner equipped with HEPA filter. Following product recovery, flush area with water. Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up:
Environmental Precautions:
Avoid discharge into drains, watercourses or onto the ground.
Section 7 — Handling and Storage
Safe Handling:
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid prolonged exposure. Practice good housekeeping. Store in original tightly closed container. Keep container tightly closed. Store in a well-ventilated place. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS).
Safe Storage:

Section 8 — Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Biological Limit Values: No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s) Appropriate Engineering Controls: Ventilation should be sufficient to effectively remove and prevent buildup of any
dusts or fumes that may be generated during handling or thermal processing. If engineering measures are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of dust particulates below the Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL), suitable respiratory protection must be worn. Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). Use tight fitting goggles if dust is generated
Eye/Face Protection:
Skin Protection:
Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing
Respiratory Protection:
Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator if there is a risk of exposure to dust/fume at levels exceeding the exposure limits. Dust mask.
Thermal Hazards:
Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.
General Hygiene Considerations:
Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants.
