4. First aid measures

Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. Get medical attention.

Eyes: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical 

attention.

Skin: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while 

removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash contaminated 

clothing before re-use. Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes.

Ingestion: If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control centre immediately.

Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

5. Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing Media: Water spray, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Dry chemical. 

Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.

Fire or excessive heat may produce hazardous decomposition products. Use water spray to cool 

unopened containers.

Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides (NOx), (see also Hazardous 

Decomposition Products sections.)

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Fire or high temperatures may cause decomposition. Dust may

form explosive mixture in air.

6. Accidental release measures

Shovel into suitable container for disposal. Avoid dust formation. Clean surface thoroughly to remove 

residual contamination.

7. Handling and storage

Personal precautions: Do not breathe dust. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container 

closed. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling.

Prevention of Fire and Explosion: Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Exercise caution if 

heating, especially in a closed container. Dust may form explosive mixture in air. Minimize dust 

generation and accumulation. Use only with adequate ventilation. Refer to NFPA 654, "Standard for the 

Prevention of Fire and Dust Explosions from the Manufacturing, Processing, and Handling of Combustible 

Particulate Solids." Keep from contact with oxidizing materials.

Storage: Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from incompatible substances (see Incompatibility 

section.)

8. Exposure controls/personal protection

Occupational exposure controls: Not established

Ventilation: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain 

airborne levels to an acceptable level.

Respiratory protection: If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations to an 

acceptable level, an approved respirator must be worn. Respirator type: NIOSH-approved with an APF 

(assigned protection factor) of 10 (example: N95 Particulate Filter). If respirators are used, a program 

should be instituted to assure compliance with applicable federal, state, commonwealth, provincial, or 

local laws and regulations.

Eye protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).

Hand protection: Wear impervious gloves and protective clothing appropriate for the risk of exposure.
