Eye: Possible irritant Skin: Possible irritant Ingestion: Not known Inhalation: Possible lung irritant Chronic: If inhaled in large quantities, may cause reversible lung damage.
Eyes: In case of contact with eye, wash with copious amounts of water. If irritation occurs, seek medical attention. Skin: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation occurs, seek medical attention. Ingestion: Drink one to two glasses of water and seek medical attention. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air and seek medical attention. Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
General Information: Not considered flammable or explosive. Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing media appropriate to the surrounding fire conditions.
General Information: Areas covered with spilled microspheres will be slippery. Absorb spilled material with paper towels or disposable wipes and place in suitable container for appropriate disposal. Avoid inhaling fine particle dust.
Handling: Use general good chemical laboratory practice, including safety glasses and protective gloves/clothing. Keep away from food. Avoid inhaling dust. Storage: Keep tightly sealed. Store at room temperature in dry area. Avoid damaging or puncturing containers.
