Always get medical attention after the first aid is over.
| Emergency and First Aid Procedures | |
| Eyes | Flush with water for at least 15 minutes, raising and lowering eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention if irritation persists. |
| Skin | Thoroughly wash exposed area for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation persists. |
| Ingestion | If Potassium bicarbonate is swallowed, if conscious, give plenty of water. Immediately call a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. |
| Inhalation | Remove to fresh air. Give oxygen if breathing is difficult; give artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. Get medical attention. |
| Extinguisher Media | Use media suitable to extinguish surrounding fire. Flammable Limits in Air % by Volume: N/A |
| Special Fire fighting Procedures | Firefighters should wear full protective equipment and NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus. |
| Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures | 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. 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 on the contaminated surface and allow evacuating as per law. |
| 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 strong acids. |
| Respiratory Protection (Specify Type) | None needed under normal conditions of use with adequate ventilation. NIOSH approved equipment should be worn if PELs are exceeded. |
| 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. |
