Section 3: Hazards Identification

Potential Acute Health Effects:

Extremely hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive, irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation.

Hazardous in case of skin contact (permeator). The amount of tissue damage depends on length of contact. Eye

contact can result in corneal damage or blindness. Skin contact can produce inflammation and blistering.

Inhalation of dust will produce irritation to gastro-intestinal or respiratory tract, characterized by burning, sneezing

and coughing. Severe over-exposure can produce lung damage, choking, unconsciousness or death.

Inflammation of the eye is characterized by redness, watering, and itching. Skin inflammation is characterized by

itching, scaling, reddening, or, occasionally, blistering.

Potential Chronic Health Effects:

Extremely hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive, irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation.

Hazardous in case of skin contact (permeator).

CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Classified A1 (Confirmed for human.) by ACGIH, 1 (Clear evidence.) by NTP, +

(Proven.) by OSHA.

MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.

TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.

DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available.

The substance is toxic to kidneys, lungs, liver.

Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated exposure of the

eyes to a low level of dust can produce eye irritation. Repeated skin exposure can produce local skin destruction,

or dermatitis. Repeated inhalation of dust can produce varying degree of respiratory irritation or lung damage.

Repeated exposure to a highly toxic material may produce general deterioration of health by an accumulation in

one or many human organs. Repeated or prolonged inhalation of dust may lead to chronic respiratory irritation.

Section 4: First Aid Measures

Eye Contact:

Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at

least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.

Skin Contact:

In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated

clothing and shoes. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean

shoes before reuse. Get medical attention immediately.

Serious Skin Contact:

Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate

medical attention.

Inhalation:

If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get

medical attention immediately.

Serious Inhalation:

Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or

waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth

resuscitation. WARNING: It may be hazardous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation

when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or corrosive. Seek immediate medical attention.

Ingestion:

If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by

mouth to an unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical

attention immediately.

Serious Ingestion: Not available.

Stop leak if without risk. Do not get water inside container. Do not touch spilled material. Use water spray to

reduce vapors. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Eliminate all ignition

sources. Call for assistance on disposal. Be careful that the product is not present at a concentration level above

TLV. Check TLV on the MSDS and with local authorities.

Section 7: Handling and Storage

Precautions:

Keep locked up.. Keep container dry. Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty

containers pose a fire risk, evaporate the residue under a fume hood. Ground all equipment containing material.

Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust. Never add water to this product. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear

suitable respiratory equipment. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Storage: Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.

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:

Splash goggles. Synthetic apron. Vapor and 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. Vapor and dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus
