Section 4. First Aid Measures
Eye ContactCheck for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes,
keeping eyelids open. Cold water may be used. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention.
Skin ContactAfter contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin
with running water and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin.
Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Wash contaminated
clothing before reusing.
Serious Skin ContactWash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek medical
attention.
InhalationAllow the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious InhalationNot available.
IngestionDo not induce vomiting. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not
breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious IngestionNot available.

Section 7. Handling and Storage
PrecautionsKeep locked up Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty containers pose a fire risk,
evaporate the residue under a fume hood. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not ingest. Do not
breathe dust. Wear suitable protective clothing In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory
equipment If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with
skin and eyes
StorageKeep container dry. Keep in a cool place. Ground all equipment containing material. Carcinogenic, teratogenic or
mutagenic materials should be stored in a separate locked safety storage cabinet or room.

---

Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering ControlsUse process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below
recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to
airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
Personal ProtectionSplash goggles. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.
Gloves.
Personal Protection in Case of Splash goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be used
a Large Spillto avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist
BEFORE handling this product.
TWA: 0.0005 (mg/m3) from ACGIH
Exposure Limits
Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits.
