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: Solid
Color: dark green
Odor: None
Odor threshold: No data available
Potential Health Effects:
Routes of exposure:

minutes. Seek medical advice for examination and possible
further treatment of the affected eye(s).
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Wash out mouth with water. Seek emergency
medical attention at once.
Inhalation:
Remove victim from further exposure ensuring your own safety first. If

breathing is OK, place in the recovery position. If conscious,
ensure the victim sits or lies down. Seem medical attention at once.
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 water spray, dry chemical powder, alcohol or
polymer foam, or CO2 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.
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
