3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
CAUSES BURNS.
HARMFUL IF INHALED OR SWALLOWED.
FLAMMABLE SOLID.
LACHRYMATOR.
Appearance:
Yellowish brown flakes, acrid odor
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC)
Symptoms of Exposure:
Very hazardous dust. Causes burns on contact. Harmful if inhaled or swallowed. Can cause lung injury. Lachrymator (causes
watering of the eyes).
Medical Cond. Aggravated by Exposure:
Respiratory conditions
Routes of Entry:
Inhalation, ingestion
Carcinogenicity:
The material is not listed (IARC, NTP, OSHA) as cancer causing
agent.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Emergency First Aid:
GET MEDICAL ASSISTANCE FOR ALL CASES OF OVEREXPOSURE.
Skin: Immediately flush thoroughly with large amounts of water.
Eyes: Immediately flush thoroughly with water for at least 15
minutes.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air; give artificial respiration if
breathing has stopped.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting; if conscious, give water
freely and get medical attention.
Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point (F): N/A
Flammable Limits LEL (%): N/A
Flammable Limits UEL (%): N/A
Extinguishing Media:
Dry chemical, Carbon dioxide. (Do not use water or foam)
Fire Fighting Procedures:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
Fire & Explosion Hazards:
Flammable solid. Can be easily ignited and burns vigorously. Capable of creating a dust explosion in sufficient quantity and
reduced particle size. Thermal decomposition produces toxic fumes.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill Response:
Evacuate the area of all unnecessary personnel. Wear suitable protective equipment listed under Exposure / Personal
Protection. Eliminate any ignition sources until the area is determined to be free from explosion or fire hazards. Contain the
release and eliminate its source, if this can be done without risk. Take up and containerize for proper disposal as described
under Disposal. Comply with Federal, State, and local regulations on reporting releases. Refer to Regulatory Information for
reportable quantity and other regulatory data.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling & Storage:
Keep container tightly closed and protected against physical damage. Store in a cool, dry ventilated area. Do not breathe
dust. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
Ventilation, Respiratory Protection, Protective Clothing, Eye Protection:
Respiratory Protection: If workplace exposure limit(s) of product or any component is exceeded (see TLV/PEL), a
NIOSH/MSHA approved air supplied respirator is advised in absence of proper environmental control. OSHA regulations
also permit other NIOSH/MSHA respirators (negative pressure type) under specified conditions (see your safety equipment
supplier). Engineering and/or administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure. Material must be handled or
transferred in an approved fume hood or with equivalent ventilation. Protective gloves must be worn to prevent skin contact
(Neoprene or equivalent) Safety glasses with side shields must be worn at all times. Impervious protective clothing should be
worn to prevent skin contact.
Work/Hygenic Practices:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not take internally. Eye wash and safety equipment should be readily available.
