EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white to off-white solid.
Warning! Causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. May cause allergic respiratory
and skin reaction.
Target Organs: Respiratory system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye: Causes eye irritation.
Skin: Causes skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which
becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. May be harmful if absorbed through the
skin.
Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May be
harmful if swallowed. May cause serious or fatal hypersensitivity (anaphylactic) reactions in
some
Inhalation: Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause allergic respiratory reaction. May
be harmful if inhaled.
Chronic: No information found.

Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally
lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Wash
clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk
or water. Get medical aid.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

General Information: As in any fire, 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.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container.
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section.
Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.

Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before
reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with
an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations low.
