Description of first aid measures
General advice No acute or delayed symptoms are expected under normal conditions of use and with
proper personal protective equipment (PPE). Do not breathe dust. Get medical attention if
irritation or other symptoms occur.
Inhalation Move victim to fresh air.
Eye contact Rinse eyes. Keep eye wide open while rinsing.
Skin contact Wash with soap and water. In the case of skin irritation or allergic reactions see a physician.
Ingestion Not an expected route of exposure. Clean mouth with water. Never give anything by mouth
to an unconscious person.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________ surrounding environment.
Large Fire CAUTION: Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient.
Unsuitable extinguishing media Do not scatter spilled material with high pressure water streams.
Specific hazards arising from the
chemical No information available.
Hazardous combustion products None.
Explosion data
Sensitivity to mechanical impact None.
Sensitivity to static discharge None.
Special protective equipment and
precautions for fire-fighters Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full firefighting turnout Use personal protection equipment.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal precautions Avoid generation of dust. Do not breathe dust. If respirator is required, use of a
MSHA/OSHA/NIOSH/STPS approved respirator is recommended. Spilled materials may
cause slippery conditions when wet. Care should be exercised when walking on spills on
floors or concrete pads.
Other information Refer to protective measures listed in Sections 7 and 8.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for containment Keep out of drains, sewers, ditches and waterways.
Methods for cleaning up Avoid dry sweeping and use water spraying or vacuum cleaning systems to prevent
airborne dust generation. Vacuum, pump or scoop spilled material into containers for
reclaiming or disposal. Do not discharge into drains, watercourses or onto the ground.
7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Advice on safe handling Avoid generation of dust. Do not breathe dust. Handle in accordance with good industrial
hygiene and safety practice. Ensure adequate ventilation. In case of insufficient ventilation,
wear suitable respiratory equipment. Product on floor when wetted will become slippery and
may present a hazard; wear anti-slip boots.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Storage Conditions Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.

toxicity for which no TLV has been established. See Appendix B of the TLV booklet for
guidelines.
Appropriate engineering controls
Engineering controls Minimize airborne dust generation. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined
areas. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to
keep airborne levels below specified exposure limits. Use proper respiratory and personal
protective equipment. MSHA/OSHA/NIOSH/STPS approved respirator recommended.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Hand protection Wear suitable gloves. Appropriate protection (e.g. gloves, barrier cream) is recommended
for workers who suffer from dermatitis or sensitive skin.
Skin and body protection Wear suitable protective clothing.
Respiratory protection When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate
certified respirators.
Environmental exposure controls Avoid creating dust. Do not allow into any sewer, on the ground or into any General hygiene considerations Do not breathe dust. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling Barrier creams may help to protect the exposed areas of skin. Do not eat, drink or smoke
when using this product.
