Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Appearance: yellow orange solid. May cause allergic skin reaction. May cause allergic respiratory reaction. May cause eye and skin irritation. May cause respiratory and digestive tract irritation. Caution!
Target Organs: No data found.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: May cause eye irritation. May cause conjunctivitis.
Skin: May cause skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. Contact with the skin may cause urticaria (hives).
Ingestion: May cause irritation of the digestive tract.
Inhalation: May cause asthmatic attacks due to allergic sensitization of the respiratory tract. Causes irritation of mucous membrane. Inhalation may produce tearing, sneezing, rhinorrhea (the free discharge of a thin nasal mucus), cough, dyspnea (labored breathing), bronchial asthma, and cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood).
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Chronic inhalation may cause effects similar to those of acute inhalation.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin: Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion: If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear.
