Health hazard information:

May cause mild skin and eye irritation if reacted with water

Medical conditions aggravated by exposure: none expected, based on available information

First aid:

Eye contact: Solid or dust may cause irritation or corneal injury due to mechanical action

Skin contact: Essentially nonirritating to skin, mechanical injury only

Inhalation: No harmful effects expected, if any symptoms obtain medical support

Ingestion: No harmful effects expected, if any symptoms obtain medical support

Precautions for safe handling and use:

For operations where eye or face contact can occur, eye protection is recommended

Avoid breathing dust
