MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
Revision Date: 15-May-2023
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: Promptly wash eyes with lots of water while lifting eye lids. Continue to rinse for
at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.
Skin Contact: Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and
launder before reuse. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: Dilute with 2-3 glasses of water or milk, if conscious. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person. If signs of irritation or toxicity occur, seek
medical attention.
General Notes: Persons seeking medical attention should carry a copy of this MSDS with them.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammable Properties
Flammable Limits in Air - Lower (%): NA
Flammable Limits in Air - Upper (%): NA Auto
Ignition Temperature: F(C) NA
Flammability Class: NA
Other Flammable Properties: ND
Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.
Protection of Fire-Fighters
Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Do not enter fire area without proper personal protective equipment, including
NIOSH/MSHA approved self-contained breathing apparatus. Evacuate area and
fight fire from a safe distance. Water spray may be used to keep fire-exposed
containers cool. Keep water run off out of sewers and waterways.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Reacts with water to form magnesium hydroxide with the release of heat.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions: Use personal protective equipment identified in Section 8.
Spill Procedures: Evacuate surrounding area, if necessary. Contain spilled material. Avoid the
generation of dust. Sweep, vacuum, or shovel and place into closable container
for disposal.
Environmental Precautions: Do not allow to enter sewer or surface and subsurface waters. Waste must be
disposed of in accordance with federal, state and local laws.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Put on appropriate personal protective equipment. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes. Avoid generating or breathing dust. Use only with adequate ventilation.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
Storage: Store in dry, well-ventilated area. Keep container closed. Store away from
incompatibles. Follow safe warehousing practices regarding palletizing, banding,
shrink-wrapping and/or stacking.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Limits (TLV & PEL -8H TWA):
Notes
(1) Control as an ACGIH particulate not otherwise specified (PNOS): 10 mg/m3 (Inhalable); 3 mg/ m3 (Respirable) and an
OSHA particulate not otherwise regulated (PNOR): 15 mg/ m3 (Total); 5 mg/ m3 (Respirable).
Engineering Controls: Use appropriate engineering controls such as, exhaust ventilation and process enclosure, to
ensure air contamination and keep workers exposure below the applicable limits.
Personal Protection Equipment
Eye/Face Protection: Dust resistant safety goggles.
Skin Protection: Wear appropriate clothing to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact.
Chemical resistant gloves recommended for prolonged or repeated contact. Use
protective gloves made of: Neoprene. Nitrile.
Respiratory Protection: Use at least a NIOSH-approved N95 half-mask disposable or reuseable
particulate respirator (dust mask).
In work environments containing oil mist/aerosol, use at least NIOSH-approved
P95 half-mask disposable or reuseable particulate respirator. For exposure
exceeding 10 x PEL use a NIOSH-approved N100 Particulate Respirator.
General Hygiene Considerations: Wash promptly with soap and water if skin becomes contaminated. Change work
clothing daily if there is any possibility of contamination.
