3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

Hazard Overview May cause eye, skin, and respiratory irritation. Airborne dust may be explosive.

Hazard Ratings

Flammability: 1
Toxicity: 0
Body Contact: 1
Reactivity: 0
Chronic: 0

Scale: Min/Nil=0 Low=1 Moderate=2 High=3 Extreme=4

4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation If inhaled, remove from area to fresh air. Get medical attention if respiratory irritation
develops or if breathing becomes difficult.

Skin Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation persists.

Eyes In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
and get medical attention if irritation persists.

Ingestion Under normal conditions, first aid procedures are not required.

Notes to Physician Not Applicable

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable Extinguishing Media Water fog, carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical.

Unsuitable Extinguishing Media None known.

Special Exposure Hazards Decomposition in fire may produce toxic gases. Organic dust in the presence of an
ignition source can be explosive in high concentrations. Good housekeeping
practices are required to minimize this potential.

Special Protective Equipment for Full protective clothing and approved self-contained breathing apparatus required for
Fire-Fighters fire fighting personnel.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal Precautionary Measures Avoid creating and breathing dust.

Environmental Precautionary Prevent from entering sewers, waterways, or low areas.

Measures

Procedure for Cleaning / Scoop up and remove.

Absorption

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling Precautions Avoid creating or inhaling dust. Avoid dust accumulations. Slippery when wet.

Storage Information Store away from oxidizers. Store in a dry location. Product has a shelf life of 12
months.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Engineering Controls A well ventilated area to control dust levels. Local exhaust ventilation should be used
in areas without good cross ventilation.

Respiratory Protection Not normally needed. But if significant exposures are possible then the following
respirator is recommended:
Dust/mist respirator. (95%)

Hand Protection Normal work gloves.

Skin Protection Normal work coveralls.

Eye Protection Wear safety glasses or goggles to protect against exposure.

Other Precautions None known.
