Section 3: Hazards Identification

Potential Acute Health Effects:

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

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

inhalation. Hazardous in case of skin contact (permeator). CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. MUTAGENIC

EFFECTS: Not available. TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available. The

substance is toxic to kidneys, lungs, the nervous system, liver, mucous membranes. Repeated or prolonged exposure to

the substance can produce target organs damage. 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. 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:

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. Cold water may be used.

Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. 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 immediate medical

attention.

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

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. Seek medical

attention.

Ingestion:

Do not induce vomiting. 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. 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 7: Handling and Storage

Precautions:

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. Take precautionary measures

against electrostatic discharges. 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 dry. Keep in a cool place. Ground all equipment containing material. Keep container tightly closed. Keep in a

cool, well-ventilated place. Combustible materials should be stored away from extreme heat and away from strong oxidizing

agents.

 

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. 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

inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this

product.
