Caledon Laboratories Ltd. believes the information contained
sufficient to prevent inhalation of fumes or dust, and contact
herein is reliable and accurate. Caledon makes no warranty
with skin, eyes or clothing. Mix with inert absorbent, transfer

oughly with copious amounts of water. Contaminated
absorbent may present the same hazards as the chemcial;
treat with the same care.
Waste Disposal: Follow all federal, provincial, and local
regulations
Handling Procedures and Equipment: IRRITANT, COM-
BUSTIBLE DUST. Workers should be thoroughly trained in
the handling of hazardous materials and in the particular
hazards of this material and its safe use, and should wear
protective equipment and clothing sufficient to prevent inha-
lation and contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Keep storage
and work areas free of combustible or incompatible materi-
als. Avoid generating dust. If dust is present, observe
explosion prevention measures, use non-sparking tools,
keep away from heat, sparks, and all sources of ignition;
avoid the accumulation of static charge, ground and bond
equipment and containers. Use the smallest amounts possi-
ble for the purpose, in designated areas with adequate
ventilation. Avoid generating dusts or vapours. Avoid all
contact and inhalation. Keep containers closed when not in
use. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Storage Requirements: Store in suitable, labelled contain-
ers, in a cool, dry, well ventilated area, away from sources of
ignition and incompatible materials. Keep containers tightly
closed when not in use and when empty. Protect from dam-
age.
FIRST AID MEASURES
Specific Measures:
Eyes: Flush eyes thoroughly with running water for five to
ten (5-10) minutes, or until no trace of chemical remains,
holding eyelids open while flushing. Get medical advice if ir-
ritation persists.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Brush or wipe off dry
material. Wash skin with plenty of running water until no ev-
idence of chemical remains. If irritation persists, get medical
attention.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Give oxygen and get
medical attention for any breathing difficulty.
