SECTION 3 - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
An off-white odorless dust that:
* Is harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin.
* Causes eye irritation.
ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: Ingestion, Inhalation and skin contact.
EYES: Causes eye irritation, redness and tearing.
SKIN: Prolonged contact can cause chronic dermititis. Low acute dermal toxicity.
INGESTION: Low acute oral toxicity.
INHALATION: Harmful if inhaled. Dusts may cause upper respiratory tract irritation, coughing, and wheezing.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS POSSIBLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Inhalation of product may aggravate existing chronic
respiratory problems such as asthma, emphysema or bronchitis. Skin contact may aggravate existing skin disease. Adverse effects may arise if
taking alcohol.
CHRONIC EFFECTS: This product contains ingredients that are considered to be probable or suspected human carcinogens (see Section 11
?Chronic). Prolonged contact can cause chronic dermititis.
*****************************************************************************************************
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID
IF SWALLOWED: If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-3 glasses of water to drink and induce vomiting by touching back of throat with
finger. Do not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek immediate medical attention. Do not leave
victim unattended. Vomiting may occur spontaneously. To prevent aspiration of swallowed product, lay victim on side with head lower than
waist. If vomiting occurs and the victim is conscious, give water to further dilute the chemical
IF IN EYES: Hold eyelids open and flush with a steady, gentle stream of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
IF ON SKIN: In case of contact, wash with plenty of soap and water. Seek medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
IF INHALED: Remove from immediate source of exposure and assure that the victim is breathing. If breathing is difficult, administer
oxygen, if avaiable. If victim is not breathing, administer CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation). Seek medical attention.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: All treatments should be based on observed signs and symptoms of distress in the patient. Consideration should
be given to the possibility that overexposure to materials other than this product may have occurred.

SECTION 8 - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
INTRODUCTORY REMARKS: These recommendations provide general guidance for handling this product. Because specific work
environments and material handling practices vary, safety procedures should be developed for each intended application. While developing safe
handling procedures, do not overlook the need to clean equipment and piping systems for maintenance and repairs. Waste resulting from these
procedures should be handled in accordance with Section 13: Disposal Considerations.
Assistance with selection, use and maintenance of warker protection equipment is generally available from equipment manufacturers.
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES: Exposure limits represent regulated or recommended worker breathing zone concentrations measured by
validated sampling and analytical methods, meeting the regulatory requirements. The following limits apply to this material, where, if

SECTION 8 - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION (continued)
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Where engineering controls are indicated by use conditions or a potential for excessive exposure exists, the
following exposure control techniques may be used to effectively minimize employee exposures.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: When respirators are required, select NIOSH/MSHA approved equipment based on actual or potential
airborne concentrations and in accordance with the appropriate regulatory standards and/or industrial recommendations.
Under normal conditions, in the absence of other airborne contaminants, the following devices should provide protection from this material up
to the conditions specified by the appropriate OSHA, WHMIS or ANSI standard(s): Air-purifying (half
-mask/full-face) respirator with
cartridges/canister approved for use against dusts, mists and fumes, pesticides. Under conditions immediately dangerous to life or health, or
emergency conditions with unknown concentrations, use a full-face positive pressure air supplied respirator equipped with an emergency escape
air supply unit or use a self
-contained breathing apparatus unit.
EYE/FACE PROTECTION: Eye and face protection requirements will vary dependent upon work environment conditions and material
handling practices. Appropriate ANZI Z87 approved equipment should be selected for the particular use intended for this material.
Eye contact should be prevented through use of chemical safety glasses with side shields or splash-proof goggles. An emergency eye wash
must be readily accessible to the work area.
SKIN PROTECTION: Skin contact should be minimized through use of gloves and suitable long-sleeved clothing (i.e., shirts and pants).
Consideration must be given both to durability as well as permeation resistance.
WORK PRACTICE CONTROLS: Personal hygiene is an important work practice exposure control measure and the following general
measures should be taken when working with or handling this material:
1. Do not store, use, and/or consume foods, beverages, tobacco products, or cosmetics in areas where this material is stored.
2. Wash hands and face carefully before eating, drinking, using tobacco, applying cosmetics, or using the toilet.
3. Wash exposed skin promptly to remove accidental splashes of contact with this material.
