conscious, drink plenty of water.
After Skin Contact: Instantly wash skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Wash clothing
before reuse. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
After Eye Contact: Rinse opened eye with plenty of running water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and
lower eyelids occasionally. Consult physician.
Section 5 – Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide (CO2), extinguishing powder, water fog, alcohol-resistant
foam.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: As in any fire, wear full protective gear and NIOSH-approved self-
contained breathing apparatus with full face-piece operated in the
pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: No unusual fire or explosion hazards. Material can splatter above 212oF

Section 6 – Accidental Release Measures
Person-related Safety Precautions: Avoid causing dust. Avoid eye and skin contact.
Environmental precautions: Prevent material from reaching sewage and drainage systems or bodies
of water.
Methods for Cleaning up: Use dry cleanup methods that do not disperse dust into the air. With
water, material hydrates to a solid harmless waste. Wear personal

foodstuffs.
Section 8 – Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Use with adequate general and local exhaust ventilation.
Washing of the skin in the working area must be possible.
Eye-wash bottle must be available.
Respiratory Protection: Wear a properly fitted NIOSH approved respirator in poorly ventilated areas and/or if
high dust concentrations are encountered.
Skin Protection: When installing, wear appropriate protective rubber or plastic gloves to prevent
hand-skin exposure. Wear appropriate impervious clothing to prevent skin
exposure (long sleeve shirt and long pants).
Eye Protection: Wear tightly sealed safety glasses with side shields or goggles. Face shield as
