4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Description of necessary measures
Inhalation: Remove from exposure area to fresh air. Treat symptomatically and supportively. If any symptoms appear, get medical attention.
Skin contact: First aid measures not required
Eye contact: Immediately rinse eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. Get medical attention if pain or
Ingestion: Dilution by rinsing the mouth and giving water or milk to drink is generally recommended. Contact physician or local poison control

center.
After eye contact: Moderate to strong irritation of the eyes (redness, swelling, burning, watering eyes), the occurrence of these symptoms may
be delayed. After skin contact: Moderate to strong irritation of the skin (redness, swelling, burning), severe burns also possible. After Ingestion:
Ingestion may cause pain, burning, swelling and redness in the mouth and throat. Nausea and vomiting may occur. After inhalation: Dust may
cause mucous membrane irritation with coughing and shortness of breath.
After eye contact: Rinse eyes immediately with plenty of water, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids, until no evidence of product remains.
After skin contact: Rinse affected area with large amounts of water until no evidence of product remains. After ingestion: Dilution by rinsing the
mouth and giving a glass of water to drink is generally recommended. After inhalation: Remove from exposure area to fresh air. Contact
physician or local poison control center.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable (and unsuitable) extinguishing media
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Thermal decomposition products may include toxic oxides of sodium and boron.
Special protective equipment and precautions for fire-fighters
In case of fire, wear a full-face positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit. Shut off all ignition sources. Apply cooling water
to sides of containers that are exposed to flames until well after fire is out. Isolate area. Keep unnecessary personnel away. Avoid breathing vapors,
keep upwind.
Suitable extinguishing media: Extinguish using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: None known
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Wear skin, eye and respiratory protection as recommended in Section 8. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Spills present a slipping hazard. Keep
unnecessary personnel away. Ventilate spill area if possible. Make sure area is slip-free before re-opening to traffic.
Environmental Precautions
Small or household quantities may be disposed in regular domestic trash. For larger quantities check with your local disposal authorities.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
SMALL SPILLS: Sweep or scoop up and place into containers for later disposal. Wash site of spillage thoroughly with water. LARGE SPILLS: Sweep or
scoop up and place into suitable clean, dry containers for reclamation or later disposal. Do not flush spilled material into sewer. Dispose in suitable
waste container. Keep unnecessary people away from spill.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling
Do not get in eyes. Do not take internally. Use with adequate ventilation. Keep the containers closed when not in use. Have emergency equipment (for
fires, spills, leaks, etc.) readily available.

Store in original containers in a cool dry area. Storage areas for large quantities (warehouse) should be well ventilated. Keep the containers tightly
closed when not in use.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
OSHA permissible exposure limit (PEL), American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Value (TLV),
and any other exposure limit used or recommended by the chemical manufacturer, importer, or employer preparing the safety data sheet,
where available.
Appropriate engineering controls
Provide local exhaust or general dilution ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the permissible exposure limits where mists or
vapors may be generated.
Individual protection measures
Respiratory: Air contamination monitoring should be carried out where mists or vapors are likely to be generated, to assure that the
employees are not exposed to airborne contaminants above the permissible exposure limits. If respiratory protection is required, it must be
based on the contamination levels found in the workplace, must not exceed the working limits of the respirator and be jointly approved by the
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and the Mine Safety and Health Administration (NIOSH-MSHA).
Eye: Safety glasses are required to prevent eye contact where dusty conditions may occur.
Hand/Body: Protective gloves are required where repeated or prolonged skin contact may occur.
Protective clothing is required where repeated or prolonged skin contact may occur.
