4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
and get medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Immediately wash with soap and plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and
launder before reuse. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Slowly dilute with 1-2 glasses of water or milk and seek
medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation: No specific treatment is necessary since material is not likely to be hazardous by
inhalation. If exposed to excessive levels of dust or fumes, remove to fresh air and
get medical attention if cough or other symptoms develop.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after
handling. May produce sensitization to damaged exposed skin (as sold) (See
Toxicological Section 11). Wear appropriate PPE.
Storage: Storage at temperatures below 10癈 requires thawing and mixing prior to use, with
no detrimental effect to product quality or efficacy. Keep containers tightly closed
when not in use. Store in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight. If crystals from,
heat to 50癈 (122癋). Mix well before using.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: Use in a well ventilated area.
