3. Hazards Identification
Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Information on the human health effects from exposure to this substance is
limited.
Inhalation: No information found, but compound should be handled as a
potential health hazard. May cause irritation to the respiratory tract.
Symptoms may include coughing, sore throat, labored breathing, and chest pain.
Ingestion: No information found, but compound should be handled as a
potential health hazard. May cause irritation to the gastrointestinal tract.
Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Skin Contact: May cause irritation with redness and pain. May be
absorbed through the skin with possible systemic effects.
Eye Contact: May cause irritation, redness and pain.
Chronic Exposure: No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical
personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
attention.
Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least
15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention if
symptoms occur.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least
15 minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Get medical
attention if irritation persists.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire: Not considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion: Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing
surrounding fire.
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.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Sweep up and containerize for
reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or wet sweeping may be used to avoid dust
dispersal.
7. Handling and Storage
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area.
Protect against physical damage. Containers of this material may be hazardous
when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all
warnings and precautions listed for the product.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits: None established.
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is
recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. 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): For conditions of use where
exposure to the dust or mist is apparent, a half-face dust/mist respirator may
be worn. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known,
use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING:
Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient
atmospheres.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering
clothing.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain
and quick-drench facilities in work area.
9. Physical and Chemical Properties
