Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

Appearance: white solid.
Warning! Harmful if swallowed. May cause eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. May cause allergic skin reaction. May cause central nervous system effects. Dangerous for the environment.
Target Organs: Skin.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: May cause eye irritation.
Skin: May cause skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. May cause effects similar to those for inhalation exposure.
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause dyspnea (difficult or labored breathing). May cause neurotoxic effects including paresthesia. Harmful if inhaled.
Chronic: No information found.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures


Eyes: Get medical aid. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at l east 15 minutes.
Skin: Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion: Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
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.

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.
