EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
Color: White
Physical State: Pellets
Odor: Odorless
Signal Word: WARNING
MAJOR HEALTH HAZARDS: CAUSES EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION. HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED.
PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENT S: Isolate area. S lip p ing hazard.
*****************************************************************************************************************************************
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
Inhalation: Dust may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract (nose and throat).
Skin contact: Brief contact is essentially nonirritating to skin. Prolonged contact may cause skin irritation, even a

Eye contact: For solid: May cause slight eye irritation, mechanical injury only. Dust formation should be avoided, as
dust can cause severe eye irritation with corneal injury.
Ingestion: Low toxicity if swallowed. Small amounts swallowed incidentally as a result of normal handling
operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger amounts may cause injury. Swallowing may
result in gastrointestinal irritation or ulceration.
See Section 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION: Move person to fresh air; if effects occur, consult a physician.
SKIN CONTACT: Wash off immediately with plenty of water.
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush with plenty of water. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue
flushing for at least 15 minutes. If effects occur, consult a physician, preferably an ophthalmologist. May cause injury due
to mechanical action.
INGESTION: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Give one cup (8 ounces or 240 ml) of water or milk if available and
transport to a medical facility. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsive person.
Protection of First-Aiders: If potential for exposure exists refer to Section 8 for specific personal protective equipment.
Notes to Physician: Due to irritant properties, swallowing may result in burns/ulceration of mouth, stomach and lower
gastrointestinal tract with subsequent stricture. Aspiration of vomitus may cause lung injury. Suggest
endotracheal/esophageal control if lavage is done. If burn is present, treat as any thermal burn, after decontamination. No
specific antidote. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the
patient.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire Hazard: This material does not burn.
Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing agents appropriate for surrounding fire.

Fire Fighting: Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. This material does not burn. Fight
fire for other material that is burning. Water should be applied in large quantities as fine spray. Wear NIOSH approved
positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure demand mode. Wear protective fire fighting
clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers, boots, and gloves). Avoid contact with this material during fire
fighting operations. If contact is likely, change to full chemical resistant fire fighting clothing with self-contained breathing
apparatus. If this is not available, wear full chemical resistant clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus and fight
fire from a remote location. For protective equipment in post-fire or non-fire clean-up situations, refer to the relevant
sections.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Occupational Release:
Small and large spills: Contain spilled material if possible. Collect in suitable and properly labeled containers. Flush
residue with plenty of water. See Section 13, Disposal Considerations, for additional information.
Personal Precautions:
Spilled material may cause a slipping hazard. Isolate area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering
the area. Use appropriate safety equipment. For additional information, refer to Section 8, Exposure Controls and
Personal Protection. Refer to Section 7, Handling, for additional precautionary measures.
Environmental Precautions:
Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or groundwater. See Section 12, Ecological Information.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Storage Conditions: Store in a dry place. Protect from atmospheric moisture.
Handling Procedures: Heat developed during diluting or dissolving is ver y high. Us e cool water when
diluting or dissolving (temperature less than 80°F, 27°C). Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not swallow.
Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container tightly closed. See Section 8, EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND
PERSONAL PROTECTION.

Non-Regulatory Exposure Limit(s):
- The Non-Regulatory United States Occupati o nal Sa fety and Health Association (OSHA) limits shown in
the table are the Vacated 1989 PEL's (vacated by 58 FR 35338, June 30, 1993).
- The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) is a voluntary organization of
professional industrial hygiene per sonnel in government or educational institutions in the United States.
The ACGIH develops and publishes recommended occupational exposure limits each year called Threshold
Limit Values (TLVs) for hundreds of chemicals, physical agents, and biological exposure indices.

Additional Advice: Ingestion: Use good personal hygiene. Do not consume or store food in the work area. Wash hands
before smoking or eating.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels
below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines,
general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some
operations.
PERSONAL PROT EC TIVE EQUIPMENT:
Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses with side-shields. For dusty operations or when handling solutions of the
material, wear chemical goggles.
Skin and Body Protection: Wear clean, body-covering clothing.
Hand Protection: Use gloves chemically resistant to this material. If hands are cut or scratched, use gloves
chemically resistant to this material even for brief exposures. Examples of preferred glove barrier materials include:
Neoprene, Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl"), Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile" or "NBR"). NOTICE: The selection
of a specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace should also take into account all
relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical
requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential body reactions to glove materials, as
well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.
Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed the exposure
limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelin es , wear
respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as respiratory irritation or discomfort have been experienced, or
where indicated by your risk assessment process. In dusty or misty atmospheres, use an approved particulate
respirator. The following should be effective types of air-purifying respirators: High efficiency particulate air (HEPA)
N95. A respiratory protection program that meets 29 CFR 1910.134 must be followed whenever workplace
conditions warrant use of a respirator.
