Emergency Overview
May cause irritation to the skin or eyes
Potential Health Effects
Inhalation: Possible Respiratory Irritant
Ingestion: May cause irrition
Skin Contact: May cause irritation
Eye Contact: May cause irritation
Chronic Exposure: May cause sensitization in certain individuals
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: None
Section IV- First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If irritation or allergy develops, consult a physician.
Ingestion: If swallowed, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Give large quantities of water. 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.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper
eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Section V- Fire Fighting Methods
Fire: Not combustible.

Flash Point: Above 200oF
Explosion: Cool containers as vapor pressure may build with intense heat.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire
Special Information: None
Section VI – Accidental Release Measures
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.
Section VII – Handling & Storage
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage.
Target Storage temperature: 40-60oF
Section VIII – Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits:
- ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV): None Established
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): For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is
apparent and engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better
filters) may be worn. 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-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.
