4. FIRST AID MEASURES

4.1 Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Keep person warm and at rest. If not breathing,

if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or
oxygen by trained personnel.

4.2 Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash skin thoroughly

with soap and water. Do NOT use solvents or thinner.

4.3 Eye contact: Check for and remove contact lenses. Immediately flush with

running water for at least 20 minutes holding eyelids open. Seek medical attention if
irritation develops.

4.4 Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show this

container or label. Keep person warm and at rest. Do NOT induce vomiting.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

5.1 Extinguishing media: Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding

material.

5.2 Unsuitable extinguishing media: Full water jet.

5.3 Special hazards in fire: In the event of fire carbon dioxide and carbon

monoxide can be release. No other specific fire or explosion hazard. The compound
when wet may render slick surfaces.

5.4 Protective equipment for firefighters: No special protective measure against
fire required.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

6.1 Personal precautions protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Forms slippery surfaces with water. Use personal protective equipment taking
note of any applicable information is Section 8.

6.2 Environmental precautions: Although the compound itself is non-hazardous,
material collected during cleanup operations may be contaminated and should be
treated as hazardous. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused
environmental pollution.

6.3 Methods for cleaning up: Clean up promptly by scoop or vacuum. Keep in
suitable and closed containers for disposal. After cleaning, flush away traces with
water.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

7.1 Precautions for safe handling: Put on appropriate personal protective

equipment (see Section 8). Eating, drinking, and smoking should be prohibited in
areas where this material is handled, stored, and processed. Workers should wash
hands and face before eating, drinking, and smoking. Remove contaminated
clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. When transferring
material into flammable solvents, use proper grounding to avoid electric sparks.
Do not inhale/ dust/ fumes/ aerosols.

7.2 Conditions for safe storage: Do not store with or near incompatible materials
(see Section 10). Store in accordance with local regulations in tightly closed
containers out of contact with the elements. Store container in a dry, cool and well­ventilated area.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

8.1 Control parameters: ACGIH TLV, OSHA PEL

8.2 Engineering controls: Use local exhaust if excessive dusting occurs. Maintain

exposure limits below of nuisance particulates of 10 mg/M^3 for total particulates
and 3 mg/M^3 for respirable particulates. The need for local exhaust ventilation
should be evaluated by a professional industrial hygienist.

8.3 Personal protective equipment:

8.3.1 Eye protection: Chemical protective goggles are recommended or safety

glasses with side shields.

8.3.2 Gloves: Protective gloves made of PVC or similar construction materials

are recommended.

8.3.3 Respirator: If dusts or particulates are generated during handling or

processing and exposures may exceed the limits cited above, use, as a
minimum, a NIOSH approved ½ face piece respirator with cartridges
approved for particulates matter with an exposure limit of not less than

0.05 mg/M^3.

8.3.4 Clothing: Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection

measures (ex: coated apron) should be selected based on the task being
performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist
before handling this product.
