NAIF NAIF NAIF
PRIMARY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE
Inhalation
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: FIRED OR SINTERED MATERIAL HAS NO KNOWN HEALTH HAZARDS.
ACUTE: High dust concentrations may cause mechanical eye irritation and upper respiratory irritation. Prolonged skin contact with powder may cause drying.
CHRONIC: Chronic exposure to dusts may cause pneumoconiosis.
There are no known medical conditions aggravated by exposure to this product.
5. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Inhalation: Move to area free from risk of further exposure. Administer oxygen or artificial respiration, as needed. Get medical attention.
Eye Contact: Flush with tepid water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. Seek medical attention if irritation develops.
Skin Contact: Wash affected areas with soap and water. Seek medical attention if irritation develops.
Ingestion: Not a likely route of exposure. If large amounts of product are ingested, give two glasses of water and get prompt medical attention. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
7. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
VENTILATION:
If dust is generated during processing or use, local exhaust should be provided to maintain exposures below the limits cited in Section 1. Design details for local
exhaust ventilation systems may be found in the latest edition of "Industrial Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended Practices" published by ACGIH Committee
on Industrial Ventilation, PO Box 16153, Lansing, MI 48910. The need for local exhaust ventilation should be evaluated by a professional industrial hygienist.
Local Exhaust systems should be designed by a professional engineer.
RESPIRATORY:
If airborne concentrations may exceed the exposure limits outlined in Section 1, use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator for dusts and mists with an exposure
limit of not less than 0.05 mg/M3. If exposures exceed 10 times the recommended limits, consult a professional industrial hygienist, or your respiratory
equipment supplier, about the selection of the proper equipment. The evaluation of the need for respiratory protection should be determined by a professional
industrial hygienist.
EYE PROTECTION:
Safety glasses are recommended.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES:
Wear any polymer gloves if prolonged exposure to powder is expected.
ALL CHEMICALS SHOULD BE HANDLED SO AS TO PREVENT EYE CONTACT AND EXCESSIVE OR REPEATED SKIN CONTACT.
APPROPRIATE EYE AND SKIN PROTECTION SHOULD BE EMPLOYED. INHALATION OF DUSTS AND VAPORS SHOULD BE AVOIDED.
8. CHEMICAL REACTIVITY
CONDITIONS CAUSING INSTABILITY:
