  Section 3: Hazards Identification
  Potential Acute Health Effects:
  Very hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant),
  of ingestion, of inhalation. Inflammation of the eye
  is characterized by redness, watering, and itching. Skin inflammation is
  characterized by itching, scaling, reddening, or,
  occasionally, blistering.
  Potential Chronic Health Effects:
  Very hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant),
  of ingestion, of inhalation. CARCINOGENIC
  EFFECTS: Not available. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. TERATOGENIC EFFECTS:
  Not available.
  DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available. The substance is toxic to kidneys,
  lungs, mucous membranes. Repeated or
  prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated
  or prolonged inhalation of dust may lead
  to chronic respiratory irritation.
  Section 4: First Aid Measures
  p. 2
  Eye Contact: Check for and remove any
contact lenses. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention.
  Skin Contact:
  After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and

  authorities.
  Section 7: Handling and Storage
  Precautions:
  Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty containers pose
  a fire risk, evaporate the residue under a
  fume hood. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not ingest. Do not
  breathe dust. In case of insufficient ventilation,
  p. 3
  wear suitable respiratory equipment If ingested, seek medical advice
  immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid
  contact with skin and eyes
  Storage:
  Keep container dry. Keep in a cool place. Ground all equipment containing
  material. Keep container tightly closed. Keep in a
  cool, well-ventilated place. Combustible materials should be stored away from
  extreme heat and away from strong oxidizing
  agents.
  Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
  Engineering Controls:
  Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering
  controls to keep airborne levels below recommended
  exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use
  ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants
  below the exposure limit.
  Personal Protection:
  Splash goggles. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an
  approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Gloves.
  Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill:
  Splash goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained
  breathing apparatus should be used to avoid
  inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be
  sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this
  product.
  Exposure Limits:
