SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Always seek medical attention after first aid measures are provided.
Eye Contact: Do not allow victim to rub eye (s). Let the eye (s) water naturally for a few minutes. If particle/dust does not dislodge, flush with lukewarm, gently flowing water for 5 minutes or until particle/dust is removed, while holding eyelid (s) open. If irritation persists, obtain medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, shoes, and leather goods (e.g., watchbands, belts). Quickly and gently blot or brush away excess chemicals. Wash gently and thoroughly with lukewarm gently flowing water and non-abrasive soap for 5 minutes. If irritation persists, repeat flushing. Obtain medical advice.
Inhalation: If symptoms are experienced, remove source of contamination or move victim to fresh air. Obtain medical advice.
Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth if victim is rapidly losing consciousness or is unconscious or convulsing. Have the victim rinse their mouth thoroughly with water. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Have the victim drink 2 – 8 oz. (60 – 240 ml) of water.
SECTION 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire and Explosion Hazards: Not a fire hazard. It may burn at high temperature
Extinguishing Media: Use means of extinction appropriate for the surrounding fire conditions such as water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, or foam. Avoid solid water jet.
Fire Fighting: Apart from oxides of carbon, oxides, fumes may result from combustion. As with any fire, fire-fighters should be fully trained and wear full protective clothing including an approved, self-contained breathing apparatus which supplies a positive air pressure within a full-face piece mask. Do not use solid water jet directly on material. Use water spray to cool unopened containers.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Procedures for Cleanup: Stop release, if possible, to do so safely. Contain spill, isolate hazard area, and deny entry. Sweep up or vacuum. Place contaminated material in suitable, labeled containers for final disposal.
Personal Precautions: Gloves and coveralls or other protective clothing are recommended for persons responding to an accidental release. Close-fitting safety goggles may be necessary in some circumstances to prevent eye contact.
Environmental Precautions: Contamination of soil and water should be prevented. Keep spillage from entering soil, streams, or sewers.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling: Apply according to good manufacturing and industrial hygiene practices. Ensure proper ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not drink, eat, or smoke while handling. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Minimize dust generation. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.).
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take measures to prevent the build-up of electrostatic charge. Store in cool, dry, and ventilated area away from heat sources and protected from sunlight in tightly closed original container. Keep air contact to a minimum. generating dust and the release of dust into the workplace. Do not leave the material container open. Store protected from heat, sparks and ignition sources and incompatible materials. Do not store with incompatible materials like oxidizing agents, strong acids, and strong bases.
SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Limits: This product does not contain any hazardous materials with occupational exposure limits established by the region-specific regulatory bodies.
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator may be worn.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or full-face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Other Control Measures: Maintain good housekeeping in work area. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
