Section 4 – First Aid Measures After Inhalation:
Remove subject to fresh air. Administer oxygen if difficulty with breathing. Consult a physician.
After Ingestion:
Immediately seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. If conscious, drink plenty of water.
After Skin Contact:
Instantly wash skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Wash clothing before reuse. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
After Eye Contact:
Rinse opened eye with plenty of running water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Consult physician.
Section 5 – Fire Fighting Measures Extinguishing Media:
Carbon dioxide (CO2), extinguishing powder, water fog, alcohol-resistant foam.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
Formation of toxic gases is possible during heating or in case of fire. Do not inhale explosion and combustion gases. Burning produces heavy smoke. As with all dusts, fine particles suspended in air in critical proportions and in the presence of an ignition source may ignite and/or explode. Dust may be sensitive to ignition by electrostatic discharge, electrical arcs, sparks, welding torches, cigarettes, open flame, or other significant heat sources. As a precaution, implement standard safety measures for handling finely divided organic powders.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
As in any fire, wear full protective gear and NIOSH-approved selfcontained breathing apparatus with full face-piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Concentrated dust may present an explosion hazard. Material can o o splatter above 212 F (100 C). Page 2 of 6
Section 6 – Accidental Release Measures Person-related Safety Precautions:
Avoid causing dust. Avoid eye and skin contact. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Keep unauthorized personnel away. Use extreme caution when dispersing dust in the air. Non-sparking tools/equipment should be used.
Environmental precautions:
Prevent material from reaching sewage and drainage systems or bodies of water.
Methods for Cleaning up:
Use dry cleanup methods that do not disperse dust into the air. With water, material hydrates to a solid harmless waste. Wear personal protective equipment. Emergency procedures are not required.
Section 7 – Handling and Storage Handling:
Avoid causing dust and control ignition sources. Avoid eye and skin contact. Keep out of reach of children. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash before eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet facilities. Wear personal protection equipment recommended in Section 8.
Fire and explosion protection:
Employ grounding, venting and explosion relief provisions in accord with accepted engineering practices in any process of capable of generating dust and/or static electricity. Empty only into inert or non-flammable atmospheres. Emptying contents into a non-inert atmosphere where flammable vapors may be present could cause a flash fire or explosion due to electrostatic discharge. As a precaution to control dust explosion potential, implement safety measures to control ignition sources and dispersion of dusts. See NFPA standard 654, OSHA 29CFR1910.39 and others for more details.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry enclosed area off the ground in tightly closed containers. Protect against wetness and water. No special measures required against explosion and fires. Store away from foodstuffs.
Section 8 – Exposure Controls / Personal Protection Engineering Controls:
Use with adequate general and local exhaust ventilation. Washing of the skin in the working area must be possible. Eye-wash bottle must be available.
Respiratory Protection:
Wear a properly fitted NIOSH approved respirator in poorly ventilated areas and/or if high dust concentrations are encountered.
Skin Protection:
When installing, wear appropriate protective rubber or plastic gloves to prevent hand-skin exposure. Wear appropriate impervious clothing to prevent skin exposure (long sleeve shirt and long pants).

Eye Protection:
Wear tightly sealed safety glasses with side shields or goggles. Face shield as necessary.
Work/Hygienic Practices:
Wash hands before breaks and after work, and before eating, drinking or smoking.
