Danger! May cause severe eye irritation and
possible injury. Harmful if swallowed. May be harmful if absorbed
through skin or if inhaled. May cause skin and respiratory tract
irritation. Possible risk of harm to the unborn child.
Target Organs: Eyes.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause severe eye irritation. This product contains a cationic
dye. Similar dyes have caused permanent injury to the cornea and
conjunctiva in documented exposure cases with human or rabbit eyes.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. May be harmful if absorbed through the
skin.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Inhalation:
Dust is irritating to the respiratory tract. May be harmful if
inhaled.

If inhaled, remove to fresh air. 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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Dust from
this material can form explosive organic dust cloud.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or
chemical foam.
Flash Point: Not available.
Autoignition Temperature: Not available.
Explosion Limits, Lower:N/A
Upper: N/A
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 1; Instability: 0
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Sweep up or absorb material, then place into a suitable clean, dry,
closed container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Provide ventilation. Do not let this chemical enter the environment.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on
clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Do not breathe dust.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
