4. FIRST-AID MEASURES

Inhalation: If symptomatic, move to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
Eyes: Any material that contacts the eye should be washed out immediately with water. If easy to do,
remove contact lenses. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
Skin: Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Ingestion: Seek medical advice.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Extinguishing Media: water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam
Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
Hazardous Combustion Products: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: none

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Absorb spill with vermiculite or other inert material, then place in a container for chemical waste.
For Large Spills: Flush spill area with water spray. Prevent runoff from entering drains, sewers, or
streams. Dike for later disposal.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Personal Precautionary Measures: Wash thoroughly after handling.
Prevention of Fire and Explosion: Keep from contact with oxidizing materials.
Storage: Keep container closed.

MSDSUSA/ANSI/EN/150000001048 /Version 5.1

Time Weighted Average (TWA) Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL): 5 mg/m3

Ventilation: Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation
rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust
ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended
exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an
acceptable level.
Respiratory Protection: If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below
recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where
exposure limits have not been established), an approved respirator must be worn. In the United
States of America, if respirators are used, a program should be instituted to assure compliance
with OSHA Standard 63 FR 1152, January 8, 1998. Respirator type: Air-purifying respirator with
an appropriate, government approved (where applicable), air-purifying filter, cartridge or
canister. Contact health and safety professional or manufacturer for specific information.
Eye Protection: It is a good industrial hygiene practice to minimize eye contact.
Skin Protection: It is a good industrial hygiene practice to minimize skin contact.
Recommended Decontamination Facilities: eye bath, washing facilities

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
Revision Date: 11/20/2009
MSDSUSA/ANSI/EN/150000001048 /Version 5.1

General: High oral doses of this material given to pregnant animals produced some minor
abnormalities in their offspring. However, high doses to humans handling this material are not
expected since oral consumption is not a likely route of significant exposure. Because this
material does not evaporate readily and is not easily absorbed through human skin, it is not
expected to produce such effects in humans through inhalation or skin exposure when handled
in a manner consistent with the precautionary measures contained in this Safety Data Sheet.
Acute toxicity data, if available, are listed below. Additional toxicity data may be available on request.

Oral LD-50:(rat) 20,000 – 25,000 mg/kg
Dermal LD-50: ( guinea pig) > 2,096 mg/kg> 2 ml/kg (highest dose tested)
Dermal LD-50: ( rabbit) > 20,960 mg/kg> 20 ml/kg (highest dose tested)
