| Inhalation | Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician. |
| Ingestion | Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician. |
| Skin Contact | In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Call a physician. |
| Eye Contact | Wash eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician. |
| Fire | It is not considered to be a fire hazard. |
| Explosion | It is not considered to be an explosion hazard.. |
| Fire Extinguishing Media | Use any 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. |
| 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 acids. |
| Airborne Exposure Limits | None established. |
| 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. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details. |
| 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 (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn. 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 positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. |
| WARNING | Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen deficient atmospheres. |
| Skin Protection | Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing. |
