First Aid Measures

Ingestion
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation
Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid if cough or other symptoms appear.
Skin
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Eyes
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.

Handling and Storage

Storage
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Handling
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation.

Hazards Identification

Inhalation
May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Skin
May cause skin irritation.
Eyes
May cause mild eye irritation.
Ingestion
May cause irritation of the digestive tract.

EC Safety Phrase
S 22 24/25

Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Personal Protection
Eyes: Wear safety glasses with side shields. Skin: Wear appropriate gloves to prevent skin exposure. Clothing: Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.
Respirators
A NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying dust or mist respirator or European Standard EN 149.
Exposure Effects
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause irritation.
Poison Class
5 (Substances and products with a low hazard& potential)

Fire Fighting Measures

Flash Point
>250
Autoignition
607
Fire Fighting
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Dusts at sufficient concentrations can form explosive mixtures with air. Combustion generates toxic fumes. Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes. Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) to prevent contact with thermal decomposition products. Extinguishing media: For small fires, use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or chemical foam.

Accidental Release Measures

Small spills/leaks
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Avoid generating dusty conditions.

Disposal Code
14
Stability
Stable under normal shipping and handling conditions.
Incompatibilities
Strong oxidizing agents. Explosive mixtures may be formed with fluorine or potassium nitrite.
Decomposition
Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, toxic fumes of sodium oxide.
