Section 3: Hazards Identification

Potential Acute Health Effects:

Very hazardous in case of ingestion. Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of

inhalation. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (permeator). Corrosive to eyes and skin. 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.

Potential Chronic Health Effects:

CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.

MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.

TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available.

DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available.

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.

 

Section 4: 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 ointment. Seek medical attention.

Skin Contact:

If the chemical got onto the clothed portion of the body, remove the contaminated clothes as quickly as possible,

protecting your own hands and body. Place the victim under a deluge shower. If the chemical got on the victim's

exposed skin, such as the hands : Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with running water and

non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. If irritation persists, seek

medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.

Serious Skin Contact:

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

attention.

Inhalation: Allow the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.

Serious Inhalation: Not available.

Ingestion:

Do not induce vomiting. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not

breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention.

Serious Ingestion: Not available.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

Small Spill:

Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by

spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority

requirements.

Large Spill:

Corrosive solid.

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. Call for assistance on

disposal. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the

sanitary system. 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 container dry. Do not breathe dust. Never add water to this product Wear suitable protective clothing In

case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment If you feel unwell, seek medical attention and

show the label when possible. Avoid contact with skin and eyes

Storage: Corrosive materials should be stored in a separate safety storage cabinet or room.

 

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. Lab coat. 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

should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a

specialist BEFORE handling this product.

Exposure Limits:

TWA: 2.5 (mg/m3)

Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits.
