Remove contaminated clothing. For treatment advice, seek guidance from an occupational health physician or other licensed health-care provider f amiliar with workplace chemical exposures. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist. If Inhaled If breathing is dif f icult, remove to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comf ortable f or breathing. In Case of Skin Contact Immediately wash skin with copious amounts of water f or at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. In Case of Eye Contact Immediately wash skin with copious amounts of water f or at least 15 minutes. Assure adequate f lushing of the eyes by separating the eyelids with f ingers. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. If Swallowed Wash out mouth with copious amounts of water f or at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention. Most Important Symptoms and Effects No inf ormation is available. Treatment of overdose should be symptomatic and supportive. Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures Suitable Extinguishing Media In the event of a f ire involving this material, alone or in combination with other materials, use dry powder or carbon dioxide extinguishers. Protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus should be worn. Special Hazards Arising From the Substance/Mixture No unusual f ire or explosion hazards noted. Special PPE and/or Precautions for Firefighters Wear suitable protective equipment. As with all f ires, evacuate personnel to a saf e area. Firef ighters should use selfcontained breathing equipment and protective clothing. Use standard f iref ighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. Page 1 of 4 Section 6: Accidental Release Measures Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures Keep unnecessary personnel away. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid inhalation of dust from the spilled material. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Methods and Materials Used for Containment Mix with sand or similar inert absorbent material, sweep up and keep in a tightly closed container f or disposal. Avoid the generation of dusts during clean-up. Clean surf ace thoroughly to remove residual contamination. Cleanup Procedures Mix with sand or similar inert absorbent material, sweep up and keep in a tightly closed container f or disposal. Avoid the generation of dusts during clean-up. Clean surf ace thoroughly to remove residual contamination. Section 7: Handling and Storage Precautions for Safe Handling While handling avoid all contact and inhalation of dust/vapours associated with the material. Clean equipment and work surf aces with suitable detergent or solvent af ter use. Af ter removing gloves, wash hands and other exposed skin thoroughly. Conditions for Safe Storage Store in a tight container, in a cool and dry place. Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Components with Workplace Control Parameters No inf ormation is available. No biological exposure limits noted f or the ingredient(s). Appropriate Engineering Controls Airborne exposure should be controlled primarily by engineering controls such as general dilution ventilation, local exhaust ventilation, or process enclosure. Local exhaust ventilation is generally pref erred to general exhaust because it can control the containment at its source, preventing dispersion into the work area. Local exhaust ventilation such as a laboratory f ume hood or other vented enclosure is recommended, particularly f or grinding, crushing, weighing, or other dust-generating procedures. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and saf ety practice. PPE - Eye/Face Protection Saf ety glasses with sideshields are recommended. Use of goggles or f ull f ace protection may be required based on hazard, potential f or contact, or level of exposure. Maintain eyewash f acilities in the work area. PPE - Skin Protection Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure. PPE - Body Protection Wear chemically compatible gloves. Use handling practices that minimize direct hand contact. For handling of laboratory scale quantities, wear lab coat where signif icant quantities are handled, work clothing and shoes may be necessary to prevent take-home contamination. PPE - Respiratory Protection Wear respirators to reduce or control occupational exposures. Section 9: Physical and Chemical Properties Appearance White to pale yellow.
