Consideration should be given to the possibility that overexposure to materials other than this product may have occurred. Treat symptomatically. No specif ic antidote available. If Inhaled If respiratory irritation or distress occurs, remove victim to fresh air. Seek medical attention if respiratory irritation or distress continues. In Case of Skin Contact In case of contact, wash with plenty of soap and water. Seek medical attention if irritation develops or persists. In Case of Eye Contact Rinse particulate matter from eye. Seek medical attention if irritation develops or persists or if visual changes occur. If Swallowed No harmf ul af f ects expected. If appreciable quantities are swallowed, call a physician or a poison control center. Do not leave victim unattended. Most Important Symptoms and Effects Medical Conditions Possibly Aggravated by Exposure: Inhalation of product may aggravate existing chronic respiratory problems such as asthma, emphysema or bronchitis. Skin contact may aggravate existing skin disease. Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures Suitable Extinguishing Media Recommended: dry chemical, f oam, water, water spray, carbon dioxide. Special Hazards Arising From the Substance/Mixture Not considered combustible. Remove containers from path of f ire. Product will burn under f ire conditions. Like all organic and most dry chemicals, as a powder and dust, this product (when mixed with air in critical proportions and in the presence of an ignition source) may present an explosion hazard. Special PPE and/or Precautions for Firefighters Firef ighters should wear NIOSH/MSHA approved self-contained breathing apparatus and f ull protective clothing. Page 1 of 4 Section 6: Accidental Release Measures Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures Evacuation Procedures and Saf ety: Ventilate closed spaces bef ore entering. Eliminate all sources of ignition until the area is determined to be free from explosion or f ire hazards. Wear appropriate protective gear f or the situation. See Personal Protection inf ormation in Section 8. Methods and Materials Used for Containment Follow procedure described below under Cleanup and Disposal of Spill. Sweep up and place in an appropriate closed container (see section 7: Handling and Storage). Avoid creation of dusty conditions. Use non-sparking tools. Clean up residual material by washing area with water. Flush or wash to drain and/or sewer. Cleanup Procedures Follow procedure described below under Cleanup and Disposal of Spill. Sweep up and place in an appropriate closed container (see section 7: Handling and Storage). Avoid creation of dusty conditions. Use non-sparking tools. Clean up residual material by washing area with water. Flush or wash to drain and/or sewer. No reporting requirements are known. See Section 13 of waste disposal considerations. Flush or wash to drain and/or sewer. Section 7: Handling and Storage Precautions for Safe Handling Keep containers closed when not being used. Avoid direct or prolonged contact with skin and eyes. Avoid breathing dusts. Do not ingest. THIS PRODUCT PRESENTS A WEAK DUST EXPLOSION HAZARD. Dry powders can build static electricity charges when subjected to the friction of conveying, mixing and sliding. Provide adequate precautions, such as electrical grounding, or inert atmospheres when material is used in the presence of f lammable materials to prevent ignition. It is recommended that all dust control equipment and material transport systems involved in handling of this product contain explosion relief vents or explosion suppression system or an oxygen def icient environment. In addition, all conductive elements of the system that contact this material should be electrically bonded and grounded. This powder should not be f lowed through non-conductive ducts or pipes. Use only appropriately classed electrical equipment. Conditions for Safe Storage Store in closed containers. Store in an area that is clean, dry, refrigerated, away from ignition sources, isolated from all toxic and harmf ul substance. Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Components with Workplace Control Parameters PARTICULATES NOT OTHERWISE REGULATED-RESPIRABLE FRACTION TWA- OSHA 5 mg/m3. PARTICULATES NOT OTHERWISE REGULATED-TOTAL DUST TWA-OSHA 15 mg/ m3. PARTICULATES, NOT OTHERWISE CLASSIFIED, RESPIRABLE PARTICULATE TWA-ACGIH 3 mg/m3 Appropriate Engineering Controls When engineering controls are indicated by use conditions or a potential f or excessive exposure exists, the f ollowing traditional exposure control techniques may be used to ef f ectively minimize employee exposures: general area dilution/exhaust ventilation. Work Practice Controls: Personal hygiene is an important work practice exposure control measure and the f ollowing general measures should be taken when working with or handling this material: (1) Do not store, use, and/or consume f oods, beverages, tobacco products, or cosmetics in areas where this material is stored. (2) Wash hands and f ace caref ully bef ore eating, drinking, using tobacco, applying cosmetics, or using the toilet. PPE - Eye/Face Protection Eye and f ace protection requirements will vary dependent upon work environment conditions and material handling practices. Appropriate ANSI Z87 approved equipment should be selected f or the particular use intended f or this material. It is generally regarded as good practice to wear a minimum of saf ety glasses with side shields when working in industrial environments. PPE - Skin Protection Skin contact should be minimized through use of gloves and suitable long-sleeved clothing (i.e. shirts and pants). Consideration must be given both to durability as well as permeation resistance. PPE - Body Protection Skin contact should be minimized through use of gloves and suitable long-sleeved clothing (i.e. shirts and pants). Consideration must be given both to durability as well as permeation resistance. PPE - Respiratory Protection When respirators are required, select NIOSH/MSHA approved equipment based on actual or potential airborne concentrations and in accordance with the appropriate regulatory standards and/or industrial recommendations. â?¢ Under normal conditions, in the absence of other airborne contaminants, the f ollowing devices should provide protection from this material up to the conditions specif ied by the appropriate OSHA, WHMIS or ANSI standard (s): dust/mist f iltering respirator.
