outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Prevent dust accumulation to minimize
explosion hazard.

Response: Specific treatment (see this label). IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap
and water. If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. Take off
contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously
with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy
to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: Get medical
advice/attention. IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep
comfortable for breathing. Call a POISON CENTER/doctor if you feel unwell.

Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters

Special fire fighting Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. Use water
procedures: spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Cool containers exposed to
flames with water until well after the fire is out.

Special protective equipment Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame
for fire-fighters: retardant coat, helmet with face shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in
enclosed spaces, SCBA.

6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in
protective equipment and immediate area). Keep unauthorized personnel away. Keep upwind. Use
emergency procedures: personal protective equipment. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled
material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. See Section 8 of
the MSDS for Personal Protective Equipment.

Methods and material for Avoid dust formation. Sweep up and place in a clearly labeled container for
containment and cleaning chemical waste. Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual
up: contamination.

Notification Procedures: Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. Inform
authorities if large amounts are involved.

Environmental precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Avoid discharge into
drains, water courses or onto the ground.

7. Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling: DO NOT handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or
sources of ignition. Protect material from direct sunlight. Use personal
protective equipment as required. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing. Avoid inhalation of dust. Wash thoroughly after handling.

Conditions for safe storage, Keep containers tightly closed. Store in cool, dry place. Store in a well-
including any ventilated place.

Revision date: 08-11-2014

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment

General information: Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used.
Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use
process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls
to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If
exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an
acceptable level. An eye wash and safety shower must be available in the
immediate work area.

Eye/face protection: Use tight fitting goggles if dust is generated.

Skin protection
Hand protection: Chemical resistant gloves

Other: Wear suitable protective clothing.

Respiratory protection: In case of inadequate ventilation use suitable respirator.

Hygiene measures: Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after
handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely
wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants.
Provide eyewash station and safety shower.
