If swallowed, wash out mouth with water. Get medical attention if symptoms appear.
Section 5: Fire and Explosion Data
Extinguishing Media: Use carbon dioxide, dry chemical, or water spray.
Hazardous Combustion Products: : Formation of toxic gases is possible during heating or fire.
Fire Fighting Procedures: During all fire fighting activities, wear appropriate protective equipment, including self-contained
Fire/Explosion Hazards: Fine particles (such as dust and mists) may fuel fires/explosions.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Ensuring personal safety, mark out contaminated area with signs and prevent unauthorized access. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, rubber boots & heavy rubber gloves. Sweep-up/absorb in suitable material. Avoid raising dust. Ventilate area and wash spill site after pick-up complete. Section 7: Handling and Storage
General Handling:
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Wash hands and
any exposed skin after removal of PPE. Releases to the environment should be avoided. Review and implement appropriate
technical and procedural waste water and waste disposal measures to prevent occupational exposure or environmental releases.
Storage:
Store in original container in a cool, dark place.
Section 8: 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.
Personal Protection: Safety glasses. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.
Gloves.
Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill:
Splash goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid
