4. First-aid Measures
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air, if not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen and get immediate
medical attention.
Skin:
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap.
Get medical attention if irritation occurs.
If clothing is contaminated, remove and launder before reuse.
Eyes:
Immediately flush the eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water for 15 minutes or until the chemical is removed.
Get immediate medical attention if irritation persists.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs naturally, have casualty lean forward to reduce the risk of aspiration.
Seek medical attention immediately.

5. Fire-fighting Measures
Suitable extinguishing media:
carbon dioxide, dry powder, foam
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media:
If water is used, restrict pedestrian and vehicular traffic in areas where slip hazard may exist.
Hazardous combustion products:
Carbon and nitrogen oxides.



Hazards during fire-fighting:
The product becomes slippery when wet. Restrict pedestrian and vehicular traffic in areas where slip hazard may
exist.



Dust in sufficient concentration can result in an explosive mixture in air. Handle to minimize dusting and eliminate
open flame and other sources of ignition.

Protective equipment for fire-fighting:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.

6. Accidental Release Measures
Cleanup:
Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal.
Avoid raising dust.
Wear suitable protective equipment.
Should not be released into the environment.

7. Handling and Storage
Handling
General advice:
As with all industrial chemicals, use good industrial practices when handling. Avoid eye, skin, and clothing contact.
Do not inhale. Do not taste or swallow. Use only with adequate ventilation.
Protection against fire and explosion:
Avoid creating dusty conditions. Risk of explosion if an air-dust mixture forms.
