3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
PHYSICAL FORM: white crystal powder
MAJ OR HEALTH HAZARDS: Respiratory tract burns, skin irritation, eye irritation.
PHYSICAL HAZARDS: Dust / air mixtures may ignite or explode

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION: When safe to enter area, remove from exposure. Use a bag valve mask or similar device
to perform artificial respiration (rescue breathing) if needed. Get medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing, jewelry and shoes immediately. Wash with soap or
mild detergent and large amounts of water until no evidence of chemical remains (at least 15 20
minutes). Get medical attention, if needed.
EYE CONTACT: Wash eyes immediately with large amounts of water or normal saline, occasionally
lifting upper and lower lids, until no evidence of chemical remains. Get medical attention immediately.
INGESTION: Never make an unconscious person vomit the powder. Give water or milk. If vomiting
occurs, keep head lower than hips to help prevent aspiration. If person is unconscious, turn head to side.
Get medical attention immediately.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD: Slight fire hazard. Dust/air mixtures may ignite or explode.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Regular dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water, and regular foam.
Large fires: Use regular foam or flood with fine water spray.

FIRE FIGHTING: Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool containers with water
spray until well after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. Use extinguishing agents
appropriate for surrounding fire.
Do not get water directly on material.
LARGE FIRES: Flood with fine water spray. Reduce vapors with water spray. Cool containers with water
spray until well after the fire is out. Apply water from a protected location or from a safe distance. Avoid
inhalation of material orcombustionby-products. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PERSONAL PROTECTION:Safety glasses, gloves etc.
STEPS IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPLILLED: Keep away from kindling, place in a chemical
waste container. Treatment as the environmental protection departments requirement, Do not flush to
sewer!
