4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Description of First Aid Measures:
Inhalation: If adverse effects occur, remove to uncontaminated area. If not breathing, give artificial respiration
or oxygen by qualified personnel. Seek immediate medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Thoroughly clean and dry contaminated
clothing before reuse.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. If necessary, seek medical attention.
Ingestion: If a large amount is swallowed, get medical attention.
Most Important Symptoms/Effects, Acute and Delayed: May cause irritation.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary: If any of the above
symptoms are present, seek medical attention if needed.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire and Explosion Hazards: Negligible fire hazard. See Section 9, “Physical and Chemical Properties” for
flammability properties.
Extinguishing Media:
Suitable: Regular dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water, regular foam.
Unsuitable: None listed.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical: None listed.
Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Fire-Fighters: Avoid inhalation of material or combustion
byproducts. Wear full protective clothing and NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
NFPA Ratings (0 = Minimal; 1 = Slight; 2 = Moderate; 3 = Serious; 4 = Severe)
Health = 0 Fire = 0 Reactivity = 0
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures: Use suitable protective equipment;
see Section 8, “Exposure Controls and Personal Protection”.
Methods and Materials for Containment and Clean up: Collect spilled material in appropriate container for
disposal. Avoid generating dust. Clean up residue with a high-efficiency particulate filter vacuum.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Safe Handling Precautions: Minimize dust generation. See Section 8, “Exposure Controls and Personal Protection”.
Storage: It is recommended that the unused portion of the powder be stored in a tightly capped container such as the
original bottle or in a manner to protect against humidity. Store and handling in accordance with all current regulations
and standards. Keep separated from incompatible substances (See Section 10, “Stability and Reactivity”).
