SECTION 4: First Aid Measures
Always seek medical advice after the first aid treatment.
| Inhalation |
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician immediately. |
| Ingestion |
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Give large quantities of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician immediately. |
| Skin Contact |
In case of contact with Lactic Acid, wipe off excess material from skin then immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Call a physician immediately. |
| Eye Contact |
Immediately flush eyes with gentle but
large stream of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Call a physician immediately. |
SECTION 5 : Fire Fighting Measures
| Fire |
Not considered to be a fire hazard. It can burn at higher temperatures. |
| Explosion |
Not considered to be an explosion hazard. |
| Fire Extinguishing Media |
Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide.
Use means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire. |
| Special Information |
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and clothing. |
SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures
| 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 |
| Methods and materials used for containment Cleanup procedures and Storage |
Contain spilled material. Cover with an inert, non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite).
Vacuum or sweep-up and remove to an approved disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the
contaminated surface and allow to evacuate as per law. |
SECTION 7:Handling and Storage
| 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. ,br>Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
Minimize dust generation. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray.

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, strong reducing agents, strong bases, nitric, acid, iodides |
SECTION 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits:
|
This product does not contain any hazardous materials with occupational exposure limits established by the region specific regulatory bodies. |
| Ventilation System |
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits.
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) |
If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a full face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filters) may be worn
for up to 50 times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest.
If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids. glycerin, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter.
For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face piece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.
WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-
deficient atmospheres. |
| Skin Protection |
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact. |
| 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. |
