Always seek medical attention after first aid measures are provided.
| Inhalation | Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention. |
| Ingestion | Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention. |
| Skin Contact | Wipe off excess material from skin then immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. |
| Eye Contact | Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately. |
| Flammability of the Product | Non-flammable. |
| Products of Combustion | Sulfur oxides, Oxides of Iron etc. |
| Fire | Not considered to be a fire hazard. |
| Explosion | Not an Explosive item. |
| Fire Extinguishing Media | Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Use means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire. |
| Special Information | In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. At high temperatures or when moistened under fire conditions, it may produce toxic or irritating fumes. On decomposition it may emit hydrogen iodide. Containers may explode on heating. |
Methods and materials used for containment Cleanup procedures and Storage
| Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures | Ventilate area of leak or spill. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.). Restrict unprotected personnel from the area. Prevent any contact with hot surfaces. Do not approach facing the wind. Do not touch the spilled material. |
| Environmental precautions | Do not let the product enter drains, soil, or water sources. |
| Small Spill | Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing dust. Ensure adequate ventilation. Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements. |
| Large Spill | Contain spilled material. Cover with an inert, non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite). Do not let the product enter drains. Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water and swab. |
| Precautions for safe handling | Apply according to good manufacturing and industrial hygiene practices. Ensure proper ventilation. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not drink, eat, or smoke while handling. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Minimize dust generation. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.). Prevent any contact with hot surfaces. |
| Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities | Store in cool, dry, and ventilated area away from heat sources and protected from sunlight in tightly closed original container. Keep air contact to a minimum. Store protected from heat, sparks and ignition sources and incompatible materials. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.Avoid inhalation of dust/mist/vapor. Do not store with incompatible materials like strong oxidizing agents and alkalis. |
Airborne Exposure Limits:
| TWA 1 mg/m3 | USA ACGIH Threshold Limit Values (2011) |
| REL 1 mg/m3 | USA NIOSH: Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards (2010) |
| TWA 1 mg/m3 | USA OSHA Table Z-1-A (29 CFR 1910.1000) (1989) |
| Ventilation System | A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. |
| Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved) | For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator may be worn. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. |
| Skin Protection | Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing. |
| Eye Protection | Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area. |
| Other Control Measures | Maintain good housekeeping in work area. Dust deposits on floors and other surfaces may pick up moisture and cause the surfaces to become slippery and present safety hazards. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands after handling. |
