CARCINOGENICITY THIS MATERIAL IS NOT
CONSIDERED TO BE A CARCINOGEN BY THE
NATIONAL TOXICOLOGY PROGRAM, THE INTERNATIONAL AGENCY
FOR RESEARCH ON CANCER, OR THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH
ADMINISTRATION
No specific information is available concerning
chronic effects of exposure.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Rinse mouth and throat with water if only mouth
contact occurs. If ingested, give two glasses of water. Get medical
attention. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing
person. Wash affected area of skin with soap and remove contaminated
clothing.
In case of skin contact, wash affected area of skin
thoroughly with soap and water and remove and wash contaminated clothing
and equipment before reuse. If skin irritation persists after washing,
seek medical attention.
In case of inhalation, remove from area of exposure;
if allergic symptoms occur in 0-48 hours, seek medical attention.
If eye contact occurs rinse thoroughly with water for
15 minutes, lifting and lowering upper and lower eye lids, seek
immediate medical attention.
WARNING STATEMENTS
CAUTION! MAY CAUSE SKIN OR EYE IRRITATION. STORE IN
COOL DRY PLACE. AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN AND CLOTHING AND EXCESSIVE
INHALATION. WASH HANDS, CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT AFTER USE.
Section 7 - Spill,
Leak, & Disposal Information
WASTE DISPOSAL Dispose of in a sanitary
chemical landfill which complies with all local, state, and federal
regulations.
SPILL OR LEAKAGE PROCEDURES Wear suitable
clothing and protective equipment. Dam and recover or mop up bulk
material without releasing aerosol and reuse wherever possible; where
contaminated or unusable, absorb on suitable material and dispose of by
landfilling.
Section 8 - Safe
Handling & Use Information
Permissible Concentrations: Not established
Respiratory Protection: Wear suitable NIOSH-approved
masks or respiratory protector where local ventilation exhaust is not
available or aerosol situations are likely to result.
Ventilation: Provide ventilation to prevent
ambient air entrainment of fugitive aerosol material.
Other Protective Equipment: Eye wash facility
Storage and Handling: Maintain good
housekeeping, avoid creating aerosols. Keep out of direct sunlight and
in cool dry place as deterioration of product and loss of activity may
occur under above conditions.
Eye Protection: ANSI approved safety glasses
with side protection or goggles. It is generally recognized that contact
lenses should not be worn when working with chemicals because contact
lenses may contribute to the severity of an eye injury.
Skin Protection: Long sleeved shirt, trousers,
safety shoes, and impervious gloves.
Hygienic Practices: Wash hands after handling,
as well as any other affected skin areas. Avoid contact with food or
food preparatory surfaces. If this occurs wash the area thoroughly with
suitable detergent and water. Remove and wash contaminated clothing.
Section 9 - Special
Precautions
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING
Maintain good housekeeping, avoid creating aerosols. For maintenance of
product quality, store in dry cool (under 110°F)
warehouse conditions.
