Section 4 - First aid measures
4.1 Description of first aid
measures:
Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. Drink water to clear throat and blow nose to remove
dust. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin contact: Do not rub or scratch. Rinse exposed skin with cold water then wash skin with soap
and water. Do not use hot water as that opens skin pores and may increase particle
penetration and irritation. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before re-use.
Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Eye contact: Do not rub your eyes. Immediately flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes,
holding the eyelids apart. Get immediate medical attention.
Ingestion: If small quantities are swallowed, rinse out mouth with water. Drink plenty of water
to help reduce irritation. If large amounts are swallowed or if irritation or discomfort
occurs, get medical attention.
4.2 Most important symptoms
and effects, both acute
and delayed: Causes severe eye irritation with possible eye damage. May cause skin irritation.
May cause mild respiratory irritation.
4.3 Indication of any immediate
medical attention and special
treatment needed: Immediate medical attention is required for eye contact.
Section 5 -Firefighting measures

Section 6 - Accidental release measures
6.1 Personal precautions,
protective equipment, and
emergency procedures: Wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment to avoid eye, and skin contact.
Avoid creating and breathing dust.
6.2 Environmental precautions: Avoid release to the environment. Report spill as required by local and federal
regulations.
6.3 Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up: Collect material and place into a container for disposal or re-use. Collect in a manner
to minimize the generation of airborne dusts or vacuum with a high efficiency
vacuum cleaner. Avoid dispersal of dust in the air (i.e., clearing dust surfaces with
compressed air.).
Section 7 - Handling and storage
7.1 Precautions for safe handling: Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid creating and breathing dusts. Wear
protective clothing and equipment as described in Section 8. Use only with adequate
ventilation. Launder contaminated clothing before re-use. Wash thoroughly with soap
and water after handling. Follow good housekeeping practices.
Empty containers retain product residues. Follow all SDS precautions in handling
empty containers.

Note: If not listed above, refer to local regulations for specific country exposure
limits.
8.2 Exposure controls:
Appropriate engineering
controls: Use with adequate local exhaust ventilation to minimize exposures.
Personal protective
equipment: Respiratory protection: If the occupational exposure limits are exceeded or irritation
is experienced, wear an approved particulate respirator. Selection of respiratory
protection depends on the contaminant type, form and concentration. Select and
use in accordance with all applicable regulations (in the US follow OSHA 1910.134,
in the EU follow EN140 or 143) and good Industrial Hygiene practice.
Hand protection: Wear protective gloves to minimize skin contact. Barrier creams
may be useful in reducing irritation.
Eye protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields or dust proof goggles.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Clothing with long sleeves and pants
should be worn to avoid skin contact. Washing facilities should be available in the
work area.
