Potential Health Effects
Inhalation: Inhalation of dust may irritate the respiratory tract. May
cause coughing and sneezing.
Ingestion: Based on animal data, this material is presumed to be only
slightly toxic.
Skin Contact:May irritate the skin. Prolonged or repeated skin contact
may cause dermatitis.
Eye Contact: Causes moderate eye irritation with redness and pain.
Chronic Exposure: No information found.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Get medical
attention for any breathing difficulty.
Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Give large quantities of water. Never
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician immediately.
Skin Contact:Remove any contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap or
mild detergent and water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if
irritation develops or persists.
Eye Contact:Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention
immediately.
Fire: Flash point: 196C (385F) CC
Autoignition temperature: 420C (788F)
Slight fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame.
Explosion: Fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and
in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard.
Minimum explosible concentration in air (dust): 10-15 mg/L.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, or
carbon dioxide.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective
clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full
facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Clean up spills in a manner that does not disperse dust into the air. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Reduce airborne dust and prevent scattering by moistening with water. Pick up spill for recovery or disposal and place in a closed container. US Regulations (CERCLA) require reporting spills and releases to soil, water and air in excess of reportable quantities.
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Isolate from incompatible substances. Avoid dust formation and control ignition sources. Employ grounding, venting and explosion relief provisions in accord with accepted engineering practices in any process capable of generating dust and/or static electricity. Empty only into inert or non-flammable atmosphere. Emptying contents into a non-inert atmosphere where flammable vapors may be present could cause a flash fire or explosion due to electrostatic discharge.
Airborne Exposure Limits: - ACGIH Threshold Limit
Value (TLV): 5 mg/m3 (TWA)
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is
recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local
exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions
of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general
work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A
Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): If the exposure limit is exceeded
and engineering controls are not feasible, a full facepiece particulate
respirator (NIOSH type N100 filters) may be worn for up to 50 times the exposure
limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory
agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. If oil particles (e.g.
lubricants, cutting fluids. glycerine, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or
P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known,
use a full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING:
Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient
atmospheres.
Skin Protection: Rubber gloves and lab coat, apron or coveralls.
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.

Environmental Fate: When released into the soil,
this material may biodegrade to a moderate extent. When released into the soil,
this material is not expected to evaporate significantly. When released into
water, this material is expected to readily biodegrade. When released into the
water, this material is expected to have a half-life between 1 and 10 days. This
material has a log octanol-water partition coefficient of less than 3.0. This
material is not expected to significantly bioaccumulate. When released into
water, this material is not expected to evaporate significantly. When released
into the air, this material may be moderately degraded by reaction with
photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals.
Environmental Toxicity: This material is expected to be slightly toxic to
aquatic life. The LC50/96-hour values for fish are between 10 and 100 mg/l.
Whatever cannot be saved for recovery or recycling should be managed in an appropriate and approved waste disposal facility. Processing, use or contamination of this product may change the waste management options. State and local disposal regulations may differ from federal disposal regulations. Dispose of container and unused contents in accordance with federal, state and local requirements.
