Eye contact:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical
attention if irritation persists.
If large amounts were swallowed, give water to drink and get medical advice.
Wash with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation develops, get medical attention.
Wash thoroughly with running water. Get medical advice if irritation develops.

SECTION 5- FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire:
Explosion:
As with most organic solids, fire is possible at elevated temperatures or by contact with an ignition source.
Fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source is a
potential dust explosion hazard.
Fire extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide
Special Information:
In the event of fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus
with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
SECTION 6- ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in section on personal protection.
Spills: Sweep up and put in container for reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or wet sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal.

SECTION 8- HANDLING AND STORAGE
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Isolate from incompatible
substances. 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.
SECTION 9- EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Airborne Exposure Limits:
OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL:
ACGIH Threshold Limit Value(TLV):
15 mg/m3 total dust, 5 mg/m3 respirable fraction for nuisance dusts.
10 mg/m3 total dust containing no asbestos and <1% crystalline silica for
Particulates Not otherwise Classified (PNOC)
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:
If the exposure limit is exceeded, a half-face dust/mist respirator may be worn for up to ten times
the exposure limit regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. A full-face piece dust / mist respirator may be worn up to
50 times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator supplier,
whichever is lowest. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face piece positive-pressure, airsupplied 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.
