Section 3: Hazard Identification


Emergency overview:
       This material is not hazardous by OSHA Hazard Communication 
       Definition.

Signal Word(s):
       Harmful!  Irritant!

Main Hazards:
Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin, and if swallowed.  Irritating
to eyes, respiratory system and skin.
       

Physical Health Hazards:
       Dry dust may form respirable particulates if disturbed.  
       If this material gets into the eyes, it could be irritating.
       Material could be irritating if the dust is inhaled.  Could
       also be irritating if skin is exposed to the dry powder.

Physical state:   Dry powder

Color:            Yellow

Odor:             None

Odor threshold:   No data available

Potential Health Effects:

Routes of exposure:
      Eye contact, ingestion, skin contact

Signs and Symptoms of Acute Exposure:
      This material if used properly, should not pose any kind of 
      real hazard. If the material is used improperly, for example, if
      the dust is inhaled, it could be very irritating to the respirable
      tract.

Eye contact:
      Mechanical irritation is possible; can be irritant.

Ingestion:
      Ingestion is unlikely, but if it does occur, material could 
      be expected to be an irritant.  Drink one pint of water after
      rinsing out mouth first.  Try to prevent vomiting.  Never give
      anything to an unconscious person.  Contact a physician immediately.




Section 4: First Aid Measures


Take proper precautions to ensure your own health and safety before 
attempting to rescue and providing first aid.  For specific information 
refer to the Emergency Overview in Section of this MSDS.

Symptoms:

Skin contact: There may be irritation and redness at the site of contact. An itchy rash may occur at the site of contact. Eye contact: There may be irritation and redness. Ingestion: Nausea and stomach pain may occur. There may be vomiting. Inhalation: Nausea and stomach pain may occur.

Action:

Skin Contact: Remove all contaminated clothes and footwear immediately unless stuck to skin. Drench the affected skin area with running water for ten minutes or longer if substance is still on skin. Transfer to hospital if there are burns or symptoms of poisoning. Eye Contact: Wash eyes with clean low-pressure water. Continue to rinse for 15 minutes. Seek medical advice for examination and possible further treatment of the affected eye(s). Ingestion: If product is swallowed, first rinse out mouth several times to remove material from mouth and to keep more from being swallowed. Give one pint of water. Do not induce vomiting. If unconscious and breathing is OK, place in the recovery position. Seek medical attention at once. Inhalation: Remove victim from further exposure ensuring your own safety first. If unconscious, and check for breathing and apply artificial respiration if necessary. If unconscious and breathing is OK, place in the recovery position. If conscious, ensure the victim sits or lies down. Seem medical attention at once.


Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures

      



Extinguishing Media:
Any suitable medium for extinguishing the supporting fire.  Use water to
keep fire-exposed containers cool.  For fire specifically involving this
product, use dry foam, dry chemical powder, polymer foam, CO2, sand,
or earth to extinguish the fire.

Exposure Hazards:
In combustion emits toxic fumes.

Protection of Fire-Fighters:

Protective Equipment/Clothing:
Wear a NIOSH approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus
and firefighter turnout gear.  This should be selected on the basis of the
supporting fire.  Avoid having the fumes come in contact with skin and eyes.



Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

      


See Sections 8 and 13.

Personal precautions:
Do not attempt to take action without suitable protective clothing.  Do not
create dust so that there are air borne particulates that could be inhaled.

Environmental precautions:
Do not discharge into drains, rivers, or lakes.

Release response:
Pick up with dry cloth and retain for recycle or disposal.  Do not flush
spilled material to the sewer or the environment.  Waste materials should
be put into a labeled disposal container for disposal according to local
regulations.




Section 7: Handling and Storage


Handling:  
Use in well ventilated areas.  Wear suitable gloves if prolonged exposure is
contemplated.  Avoid direct contact with the material.

Store away from excessive heat and generally in a cool dry place.  Keep
container tightly closed.  Keep away from direct sunlight.  Avoid contact
with water or humidity.




Section 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection


Engineering measures:
Ensure that there is mechanical ventilation of the area.

Respiratory protection:
Respiratory protective device with particle filter.  Self-contained
breathing apparatus must be available in case of emergency.

Hand protection:
Protective gloves

Eye protection:
Safety goggles.  Ensure eye bath is readily available.

Skin protection:
Protective clothing with elastic cuffs and closed neck.  Boots should be
made of PVC.
