Section III. Hazards Identification
No specific information is available in our data base regarding the toxic effects of this material for humans. However,
Acute Health Effects
exposure to any chemical should be kept to a minimum. Skin and eye contact may result in irritation. May be harmful if
inhaled or ingested. Always follow safe industrial hygiene practices and wear proper protective equipment when handling
this compound.
CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS : Not available.
Chronic Health Effects
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.
If the victim is not breathing, perform artificial respiration. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If
Inhalation
breathing is difficult, oxygen can be administered. Seek medical attention. Treat symptomatically and supportively.
INDUCE VOMITING by sticking finger in throat. Lower the head so that the vomit will not reenter the mouth and throat.
Ingestion
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.

shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning the spill by rinsing any contaminated
surfaces with copious amounts of water. Consult federal, state, and/or local authorities for assistance on disposal.
Section VII. Handling and Storage
Handling and Storage FLAMMABLE SOLID. MAY REACT VIOLENTLY AND/OR EVOLVE HEAT UPON EXPOSURE TO SHOCK, HEAT, AND
FRICTION. Reactive with strong oxidizers; may be ignited by heat, sparks, or flames. Vapors may travel to source of
Information
ignition and flash back. Tightly seal container and store in a cool place. Closed containers may explode from heat of a fire.
Empty containers may pose a fire risk. Evaporate residue under a fume hood if possible. Ground all equipment containing
material. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Mechanical exhaust required. When not in use, tightly seal the
container and store in a dry, cool place. Avoid excessive heat and light. DO NOT breathe dust. In case of insufficient
ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. If you feel unwell, seek medical attention and show the label when possible.
Treat symptomatically and supportively. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Always store away from incompatible compounds such as oxidizing agents.
Section VIII. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended
Engineering Controls
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
