3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
Eye: Contact may cause mild eye irritation including stinging, watering, and redness.
Skin: Contact may cause mild skin irritation including redness and burning. No harmful effects from
skin absorption have been reported.
Inhalation (Breathing): No information available. Studies by other exposure routes suggest a low
degree of toxicity by inhalation.
Ingestion (Swallowing): No harmful effects reported from ingestion.
Signs and Symptoms: Effects of overexposure may include irritation of the nose, throat and
digestive tract, headaches, coughing, nausea, vomiting, and transient disorientation.
Cancer: Inadequate data available to evaluate the cancer hazard of this material.
Target Organs: No data available.
Developmental: Inadequate data available for this material.
Pre-Existing Medical Conditions: None known.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye: If irritation or redness develops, move victim away from exposure and into fresh air. Flush eyes
with clean water. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Skin: Remove contaminated shoes and clothing and cleanse affected area(s) thoroughly by washing
with mild soap and water. If irritation or redness develops and persists, seek medical attention.
Inhalation (Breathing): If respiratory symptoms develop, move victim away from source of exposure
and into fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. If victim is not breathing, clear
airway and immediately begin artificial respiration. If breathing difficulties develop, oxygen
should be administered by qualified personnel. Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion (Swallowing): First aid is not normally required; however, if swallowed and symptoms
develop, seek medical attention.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammable Properties: Flash Point: No data
OSHA Flammability Class: Not applicable
LEL/UEL: No data
Autoignition Temperature: No data
Burn Rate (solids): No data
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards: No unusual fire or explosion hazards are expected.
Fire Fighting Instructions: For fires beyond the incipient stage, emergency responders in the
immediate hazard area should wear bunker gear. When the potential chemical hazard is
unknown, in enclosed or confined spaces, or when explicitly required by DOT, a self-contained
breathing apparatus should be worn. In addition, wear other appropriate protective equipment
as conditions warrant (see Section 8). Isolate immediate hazard area and keep unauthorized
personnel out. Contain spill if it can be done with minimal risk. Move undamaged containers
from immediate hazard area if it can be done with minimal risk. Cool equipment exposed to
fire with water, if it can be done with minimal risk.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Stay upwind and away from spill. Isolate immediate hazard area and keep unauthorized personnel
out. Contain spill if it can be done with minimal risk. Wear appropriate protective equipment including
respiratory protection as conditions warrant (see Section 8). Prevent spilled material from entering
sewers, storm drains, other unauthorized treatment drainage systems, and natural waterways. Notify
appropriate federal, state, and local agencies. Minimize dust generation. Sweep up and package
appropriately for disposal.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Do not enter confined spaces such as tanks or pits without following proper entry
procedures such as ASTM D-4276 and 29CFR 1910.146. The use of appropriate respiratory
protection is advised when concentrations exceed any established exposure limits (see
Sections 2 and 8). Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not wear contaminated clothing or
shoes. Use good personal hygiene practice.
Storage: Keep container(s) tightly closed. Use and store this material in cool, dry, well-ventilated
areas. Store only in approved containers. Keep away from any incompatible material (see
Section 10). Protect container(s) against physical damage.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering controls: If current ventilation practices are not adequate to minimize exposure,
additional ventilation or exhaust systems may be required.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
Respiratory: A NIOSH certified air-purifying respirator with a N95 filter may be used under
conditions where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits (see
Section 2). Protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited (see
manufacturer's respirator selection guide). Use a positive pressure air supplied
respirator if there is potential for uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known,
or any other circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate
protection. A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29CFR 1910.134 and
ANSI 288.2 requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a
respirator's use.
Skin: The use of gloves impermeable to the specific material handled is advised to prevent
skin contact, possible irritation, and absorption (see glove manufacturer literature for
information on permeability).
Eye/Face: Approved eye protection to safeguard against potential eye contact, irritation, or
injury is recommended. Depending on conditions of use, a face shield may be
necessary.
Other Protective Equipment: A source of clean water should be available in the work area
for flushing eyes and skin. Impervious clothing should be worn as needed.
