Very hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion. Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of inhalation. Slightly
hazardous in case of skin contact (permeator). CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Not
available. TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available.
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.
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:
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:

Section 7: Handling and Storage
Precautions:
Keep locked up Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep away from combustible material Keep away
from direct sunlight or strong incandescent light. Empty containers pose a fire risk, evaporate the residue under a fume hood.
Ground all equipment containing material. Do not breathe dust. Avoid shock and friction. 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:
Keep container dry. Keep in a cool place. Ground all equipment containing material. This product should be stored away from
oxidizing materials and strong bases.
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.
