Section III. Hazards Identification
Acute Health Effects Irritating to eyes and skin on contact. Inhalation causes irritation of the lungs and respiratory system. Inflammation of the
eye is characterized by redness, watering, and itching. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening,
or, occasionally, blistering. Follow safe industrial hygiene practices and always wear proper protective equipment when
handling this compound.
Chronic Health Effects CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS : Not available.
MUTAGENIC EFFECTS : Not available.
TERATOGENIC EFFECTS : Not available.
DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available.
There is no known effect from chronic exposure to this product. Repeated or prolonged exposure to this compound is
not known to aggravate existing medical conditions.
Section IV. First Aid Measures
Eye Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. DO NOT use an eye ointment. Flush eyes with running water for a minimum
of 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Seek medical attention. Treat symptomatically and
supportively.
Skin Contact After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with
running water and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. Cover the
irritated skin with an emollient. Seek medical attention. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Wash any contaminated
clothing before reusing.
Inhalation If the victim is not breathing, perform artificial respiration. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If
breathing is difficult, oxygen can be administered. Seek medical attention. Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Ingestion INDUCE VOMITING by sticking finger in throat. Lower the head so that the vomit will not reenter the mouth and throat.
Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt, or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, administer artificial respiration.
Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues are damaged, a possible indication that the toxic material
was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive. Seek immediate medical attention and, if possible,
show the chemical label. Treat symptomatically and supportively.

use, tightly seal the container and store in a dry, cool place. Avoid excessive heat and light. DO NOT ingest. DO NOT
Information
breathe dust. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. If ingested, seek medical advice
immediately and show the container or the label. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes.
Always store away from incompatible compounds such as oxidizing agents, moisture.
Section VIII. 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.
Splash goggles. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A MSHA/NIOSH approved respirator must be used to avoid
