Section IA. First Aid Measures
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Washing eyes
within 1 minute is essential to achieve maximum effectiveness. Seek medical attention.
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. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Wash contaminated
clothing before reusing.
Hazardous Skin Contact: No additional information
Slight Inhalation: Allow the victim to rest in well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.
Hazardous Inhalation: No additional information.
Slight Ingestion: DO NOT induce vomiting. Give large amount of water followed by milk if available. Examine the lips
and mouth (if necessary, wear protective gloves) 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. Loosen tight clothing such
as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. if the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek immediate
medical attention.
Hazardous Ingestion: No additional information

Section IV. Toxicological Properties
Routes of Entry: Eye contact, skin contact, inhalation
Toxicity for Animals: Acute oral toxicity (LD50): 2650 mg/kg (Rat)
Chronic Effects on Humans:
Carcinogenic Effect: N/A
Mutagenic Effects: N/A
Teratogenic Effects: N/A
Developmental Toxicity: N/A
The substance is toxic to skin, eyes. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organ
damage. Repeated exposure to a highly toxic material may produce general deterioration of health by an accumulation
in one or many human organs.
Acute Effects on Humans

result in death.
Inhalation: Dust may cause irritation of the respiratory tract
Ingestion: May cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea
Eyes: Cause mild to moderate irritation
Skin: Irritant, possibly severe
Section V. Preventive Measures
Waste Information: N/A
Waste Stream: N/A
Storage: Keep container dry. Keep in cool place. Ground all equipment containing material. Keep container tightly
closed. Keep in a cool, well ventilated place. Highly toxic or infectious materials should be stored in a separate locked
safety storage cabinet or room.
Precautions: Keep locked up. 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. Wear suitable protective clothing. If ingested seek medical advice immediately and show the
container or the label. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, acids.
Small Spill and Leak: Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish
cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose according to local and regional authority
requirements.
Large Spill and Leak: Our database contains no additional information in case of a spill and/or leak of the product.
Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the
contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements.

Section VI. Protective Measures
Protective Clothing: Safety glasses, lab coat, dust respirator. Be sure to use an MSHA/NIOSH approved respirator or
equivalent. Gloves
Engineering Controls: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep airborne
levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operation generate dust, fume or mist use ventilation to keep
exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
