3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
Appearance: light yellow powder
Flammability: Use of proper grounding techniques are recommended when emptying this product from
containers weight more than 1 pound. A build-up of hazardous electrostatic charges may
cause a flash fire or explosion when the contents are emptied into a flammable atmosphere.
See Section 7.
Environmental: This product is toxic to aquatic organisms and should not be released into the environment.
Health: This product is a skin sensitizer based upon animal studies, but it was not found to be a
sensitizer in tests on human subjects.
Disposal: Sweep or shovel spilled material and place into a sealed container. Pre-wet the material to
prevent dust build-up. Dispose in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
Incineration is recommended. This product is not a hazardous waste under RCRA.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Primary Route of Entry: Dermal, inhalation, ingestion
Eye: In the case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and see medical

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: 401癋 (205癈)
Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam, water mist
Unusual Hazards: The product can form an explosive dust/air mixture. Avoid dust formation and control ignition
sources. Employ grounding, venting and explosion relief provisions in accord with accepted
engineering practices in process operations capable of generating dust and/or static
electricity.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Use self-contained breathing apparatus. Burning may produce toxic combustion products.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill or Release Procedures: Sweep or vacuum and place in sealable container for disposal. Wear protective
equipment as specified below. Should not be released into the environment.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling and before eating, drinking, or using tobacco products. In
accordance with good industrial practice, handle with care and avoid unnecessary personal
contact. Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged or repeated skin contact or contact with
clothing. Avoid continuous or repetitive breathing of dust. Use only with adequate ventilation.
For industrial use ONLY.
Storage: Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventillated place when not in use and during
transport.
Explosion Hazards:
? For All Packages:
DANGER~ EXPLOSION RISK
Risk of explosion if an air-dust mixture forms
-
Combustible powder
-
