3 Hazards identification
• Hazard Information Emergency Overview: Dust may be irritating to eyes
and upper respiratory tract. Fine dust clouds may form explosive mixtures with air. Highly toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. May cause sensitization by skin contact. May cause alcohol intolerance. • Eye Contact: Causes mild eye irritation. Mild Eye Irritation:
signs/symptoms can include redness, swelling, pain, and tearing. • Skin Contact: May cause an allergic skin reaction. May be absorbed
through the skin and product effects similar to those caused by inhalation and/or ingestion. • Inhalation: Exposure to dust particles generated from this material may
cause irritation of the respiratory tract. Inhalation may cause alcohol intolerance • Ingestion: May cause alcohol intolerance (Antabuse Effect) May cause
headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal irritation. 4 First aid measures
• In Eyes: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention if irritation persists. • On Skin: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of soap
and water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation persists. • Inhaled: Remove person to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, get immediate medical attention. • Swallowed: If swallowed, call a physician immediately. Only induce
vomiting at the instruction of a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. • Notes To Physician: Treat symptomatically. Exposure by ingestion,
inhalation or skin absorption may cause alcohol intolerance (Antabuse Effect) 5 Fire fighting measures
• Flash Point (°F/C): 318°F / >150°C
• Flash Point Method: Pensky-Martens Open Cup
• Autoignition Temp. (°F/C): >200°C
• Lower Explosion Limit In Air (LEL): Not determined.
• Upper Explosion Limit In Air (UEL): Not determined.
• Extinguishing Media: Water fog, carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical
• Special Exposure Hazards: Fight fire from a safe distance and from a
protected location. Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces. Decomposition in fire may produce toxic gases. Do not allow runoff to enter waterways. • Special Protective Equipment: Full protective clothing and approved
self-contained breathing apparatus required for fire fighting personnel. • Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazards: Toxic emissions may result if product
6 Accidental release measures
• Spill Procedures: Wear protective equipment specified. Avoid the
generation of dust. Sweep, vacuum, or shovel and place into closable container for disposal. • Procedure for Cleaning/Absorption: Isolate area and remove sources of
friction, impact, heat, low level electrical current, and RF energy. Scoop up and remove. Do NOT spread spilled product with water. • CERCLA Reportable Quantity (RQ): Not Applicable
7 Handling and storage
• Handling: Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid generating
or breathing dust. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Wash hands before eating, drinking, and chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Close containers of unused product. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Do not reuse this container. • Storage: Store closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
Store away from strong oxidizing materials. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight. 8 Exposure controls and personal protection
• Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses or goggles to protect against
• Skin Protection: Normal work coveralls. Launder contaminated clothing
• Gloves: Use gloves as a standard industrial handling procedure.
Appropriate chemical resistant gloves should be worn. • Respiratory Protection: Use in a well ventilated area. Use approved
NIOSH respiratory protection if TLV exceeded. Or over exposure is likely. Appropriate respiratory protection shall be worn when applied engineering controls are not adequate to protect against inhalation exposure. • Ventilation: General; local exhaust ventilation as necessary to control
any air contaminants to within their exposure limits during the use of this product. • Airborne Exposure Limits: Nuisance Dust. OSHA PEL/8Hr-TWA = 15 mg/m3
(Total Dust). OSHA PEL/8-Hr TWA = 05mg/m3 (Respirable Dust). ACGIH TLV/8-Hr TWA = 10 mg/m3. 9 Physical and chemical properties:
