Inflammation of the eyes is characterized by redness, watering and itching. : Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant). Skin Inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening, or occasionally, blistering. : No known acute effects of this product resulting form inhalation. May cause nuisance condition such as coughing, sneezing, and nasal irritation. : No known acute effects of this product resulting form ingestion SECTION 5: FIRST AID MEASURES Eye contact Skin contact Inhalation Ingestion : Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention immediately. : In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Cover irritated skin with an emollient. Wash clothing before re-sue. Thoroughly clean shoes before re-use. Get medical attention immediately. : If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention if symptoms appear. : Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

3 SECTION 6: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Fire/Explosion Hazard : Not considered to be a fire/explosion hazard. Fire Extinguishing : Substance is non-combustible; use agent most appropriate to extinguish surrounding fire. Special Information : In the extent of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face-piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Substance itself is non-combustible but may decompose upon heating to produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic fumes. SECTION 7: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES General Information : Use proper protective equipment as indicated in SECTION 9. Leak and/or Spill : Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precaution to minimize potential acute health effects listed in SECTION 4. Avoid generation dusty condition. Provide ventilation. SECTION 8: HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling Storage : Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. : Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep away from strong acids. SECTION 9: EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION Airborne Exposure : OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) 15mg/m 3 total dust, 5mg/m 3 Limit respirable fraction for nuisance dust ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TRV) 10mg/m 3 total dust Ventilation System Personal Respirators Skin Protection Eye Protection : A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the airborne exposure limits. Local exhaust is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. : Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. : Gloves and lab coat, apron or coveralls. : Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area. Rev. No: Page 3
