Handling
Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin.

Hazards Identification

Ingestion
Ingestion of large amounts may cause gastrointestinal irritation. Low hazard for usual industrial handling.
Inhalation
Low hazard for usual industrial handling. Excessive inhalation may cause minor respiratory irritation.
Skin
May cause mild skin irritation.
Eyes
Dust may cause mechanical irritation.

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 minimize contact with skin.
Respirators
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator when necessary.

Fire Fighting Measures

Fire Fighting
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. Extinguishing media: Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire. In case of fire use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.

Accidental Release Measures

Small spills/leaks
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Sweep up, then place into a suitable container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.

Stability and Reactivity

Incompatibilities
No data reported.
Stability
Stable under normal shipping and handling conditions.
Decomposition
Irritating and toxic fumes and gases.
