4. FIRST AID MEASURES
FIRST AID MEASURES FOR ACCIDENTAL:
Eye Exposure:
Hold eyelids open and flush with a steady, gentle stream of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation develops or persists or if visual changes occur.
Skin Exposure:
In case of contact, wash with plenty of soap and water. Seek medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
Inhalation:
Remove victim from immediate source of exposure and assure that the victim is breathing. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen, if available. If victim is not breathing, administer CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation). Seek medical attention.
Ingestion:
Ingestion of dry powder may result in the material swelling in the throat, possibly causing blockage of the throat and choking. If the victim is conscious and alert, give 1-2 glasses of water to drink to prevent esophageal obstruction. Do not give anything by month to an unconscious person. Seek medical attention. Do not leave victim unattended.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS POSSIBLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
Inhalation of product may aggravate existing chronic respiratory problems such as asthma, emphysema or bronchitis.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
All treatments should be based on observed signs and symptoms of distress in the patient. Consideration should be given to the possibility that overexposure to materials other than this product may have occurred.
Treat symptomatically. No specific antidote available.

Evacuation Procedures and Safety:
CAUTION: Spilled material may become slippery when wet. Do not leave traces of product on floors, ladders, etc., as this may present a slipping hazard. Wear appropriate protective gear for the situation. See Personal Protection information in Section 8.
Containment of Spill:
Follow procedure described below under Cleanup and Disposal of Spill.
Cleanup and Disposal of Spill:
Dry Material: Sweep up and place in an appropriate closed container (see Section 7: Handling and Storage). Wet Material: Absorb with an inert absorbent. Shovel up into an appropriate closed container (see Section 7: Handling and Storage).
Environmental and Regulatory Reporting:
Spills may be reportable to the National Response Center (800-424-8802) and to state and/or local agencies.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Minimum/Maximum Storage Temperatures:
Not Available
Handling Avoid breathing dust.
THIS PRODUCT MAY PRESENT A DUST EXPLOSION HAZARD. It is recommended that all dust control equipment and material transport systems involved in handling of this product contain explosion relief vents, an explosion suppression system or an oxygen deficient environment. In addition, all conductive elements of the system that contact this material should be electrically bonded and grounded. This powder should not be flowed through non-conductive ducts or pipes. Use only appropriately classed electrical equipment.
Storage:
Store in closed containers. Store in a dry area.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Introductory Remarks:
These recommendations provide general guidance for handling this product. Because specific work environments and material handling practices vary, safety procedures should be developed for each intended application. While developing safe handling procedures, do not overlook the need to clean equipment and piping systems for maintenance and repairs. Waste resulting from these procedures should be handled in accordance with Section 13: Disposal Considerations.
Assistance with selection, use and maintenance of worker protection equipment is generally available from equipment manufacturers.
Exposure Guidelines:
No exposure limits were found for this product or any of its ingredients.
Engineering Controls:
Where engineering controls are indicated by use conditions or a potential for excessive exposure exists, the following traditional exposure control techniques may be used to effectively minimize employee exposure: wet processing methods to reduce dust generation.
Respiratory Protection:
When respirators are required, select NIOSH/MSHA approved equipment based on actual or potential airborne concentrations and in accordance with the appropriate regulatory standards and/or industrial recommendations. Under normal conditions, in the absence of other airborne contaminants, the following devices should provide protection from this material up to the conditions specified by the appropriate OSHA, WHMIS or ANSI standard(s): Air-purifying (half-mask/full-face) respirator with cartridges/canister approved for use against dusts, mists and fumes.
Eye/Face Protection:
Eye and face protection requirements will vary dependent upon work environment conditions and material handling practices. Appropriate ANSI Z87 approved equipment should be selected for the particular use intended for this material. It is generally regarded as good practice to wear a minimum of safety glasses with side shields when working in industrial environments.
Skin Protection:
Skin contact should be minimized through use of gloves and suitable long-sleeved clothing (i.e., shirts and pants). Consideration must be given both to durability as well as permeation resistance.
Work Practice Controls:
Personal hygiene is an important work practice exposure control measure and the following general measures should be taken when working with or handling this material:
(1) Do not store, use, and/or consume foods, beverages, tobacco products, or cosmetics in areas where this material is stored.
(2) Wash hands and face carefully before eating, drinking, using tobacco, applying cosmetics, or using the toilet.
(3) Wash exposed skin promptly to remove accidental splashes of contact with this material.
