Section IV. First Aid Measures
Eye Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. IMMEDIATELY flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping
eyelids open. COLD water may be used. DO NOT use an eye oitment. 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 plently 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. COLD water may
be used. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Seek medical attention. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Wash
any contaminated clothing before reusing.
Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If
Inhalation
breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform artificial respiration. WARNING: It may be
dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious
or corrosive. Seek immediate medical attention and, if possible, show the chemical label. 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.

Instructions
shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Consult federal, state, and/or local authorities for
assistance on disposal.
Section VII. Handling and Storage
Handling and Storage TOXIC. Handle with caution and minimize exposure. 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
Information
NOT ingest. DO NOT breathe dust. Wear suitable protective clothing. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and
show the container or the label. Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Always store away from incompatible compounds such as oxidizing agents.
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
