4. FIRST AID MEASURE

Ingestion • Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are
swallowed, call a physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie,
belt or waistband.
Inhalation • If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Eyes • Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes
with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical
attention.
Skin • In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Cover the irritated
skin with an emollient. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Cold water may be
used. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical
attention.

Most important Eye Contact- • causes Irritating to the eyes, redness, pain and lachrymation.
symptoms/ effects, Inhalation- • Prolonged inhalation of product dusts may irritate nose, throat, and lungs.
acute and or delayed Skin contact- Prolonged contact may cause skin irritation (red, dry, cracked skin).
Ingestion- Although low in toxicity, ingestion may cause nausea, vomiting,
stomachache, and diarrhea.

Indication of If victim is conscious:

immediate medical • If swallowed, rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious).
attention and special • Do NOT induce vomiting.
treatment needed If victim is unconscious but breathing:
• Artificial respiration and/or oxygen may be necessary.
• Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

environment If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.

Clean up method • Prevent large quantities of this product from contacting vegetation or waterways;
large spills could kill vegetation and fish.
• This product, if spilled, can be recovered and re-used if contamination does not
present a problem. Vacuum or sweep up the material. If the spilled product is unusable
due to contamination, consult state or federal environmental agencies for acceptable
disposal procedures and locations.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

General • Use air conveying / mechanical systems for bulk transfer to storage. For manual handling of
precaution bulk transfer use mechanical ventilation to remove airborne dust from railcar, ship or truck.
Use approved respiratory protection when ventilation systems are not available. Selection of
respirators is based on the dust cloud generation. Keep material out of lakes, streams, ponds
and sewer drains.
Avoid eye contact or prolonged skin contact. Avoid breathing dusts. When dissolving, add to
water cautiously and with stirring; solutions can get hot. Use good personal hygiene and
housekeeping.
Personal Wear personal protective equipment as per Section-8
protection
Storage • Store in a cool dry area, away from acids. Prolonged storage may cause product to cake

8. EXPOSURE CONTROL / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Personal protection

Skin • Wear long-sleeve shirt and trousers, Eyes • For dusty or misty
and impervious gloves for routine conditions, or when handling
product use. Cotton gloves are sufficient solutions where there is
for dry product; wear impervious (e.g., reasonable probability of eye
rubber, neoprene, etc.) gloves when contact, wear chemical safety
handling solutions. goggles and hardhat. Under these
conditions do not wear contact
lenses. Otherwise, appropriate
eye and face protection
equipment (ANSI Z87 approved)
should be selected for the
particular use intended for this
material. Safety glasses with side
shields are recommended.

Respiration • Whenever dust in the worker’s Other

breathing zone cannot be controlled with
ventilation or other engineering means,
workers should wear respirators or dust
masks approved by NIOSH or
comparable certification organization to
protect them against airborne dust.

Exposure limits
TLV-TWA 10 mg/m3 (Inhalable Dust) 3 TLV-STEL
mg/m3
(Respirable Dust)

Appropriate • Ensure adequate ventilation.

Engineering • Provide adequate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed.
Control • Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.
• Apply technical measures to comply with the occupational exposure limits.
