3. Hazard identification

Emergency overview
CAUTION: MAY CAUSE EYE, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. MAY CAUSE DIFFICULTY BREATHING. PROLONGED OR REPEATED CONTACT MAY RESULT IN DERMATITIS. Contact with the eyes or skin may cause mechanical irritation. Contains material which may indicate/cause the possibility of sensory and pulmonary irritation. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid inhalation of dusts. Use with local exhaust ventilation.
Wear a NIOSH-certified (or equivalent) particulate respirator. Wear safety glasses with side-shields. Wear chemical resistant protective gloves. Wear protective clothing. Eye wash fountains and safety showers must be easily accessible.

Potential health effects
Primary routes of exposure: Routes of entry for solids and liquids include eye and skin contact, ingestion and inhalation. Routes of entry for gases include inhalation and eye contact. Skin contact may be a route of entry for liquified gases.

4. First-aid measures

If inhaled: Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air. If necessary, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Seek medical attention if necessary.
If on skin: After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. Consult a doctor if skin irritation persists.
If in eyes: In case of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately for at least 15 minutes with plenty of water. Immediate medical attention required.
If swallowed: No hazards anticipated. If large quantities are ingested, seek medical advice.

5. Fire-fighting measures

Additional information: Use extinguishing measures to suit surroundings.
Hazards during fire-fighting: No particular hazards known.
Protective equipment for fire-fighting: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.
