Info

Eye Contact: May cause mild eye irritation. Skin Contact: Prolonged contact with the dry powder may cause drying or chapping of the skin. Ingestion: Not a hazard under normal use conditions. Inhalation: Excessive inhalation of dust can mechanically impede respiration. Due to the hygroscopic properties of the gums, they can form a paste or gel in the airway. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Eye Contact: Flush with copious amounts of water. Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Slowly dilute with 1-2 glasses of water or milk and seek medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing or if breathing is difficult, give artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. Seek medical attention. 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Flash Point (°F): N.Ap. Extinguishing Media: Alcohol foam/ Dry chemical/ Carbon dioxide / Water Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazards: Powdered material may form explosive dust-air mixtures. Special Protective Equipment: Fire fighters should wear full protective clothing, including self-contained breathing equipment. Personal Precautionary Measures: Procedure for Cleaning/Absorption: 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Use appropriate protective equipment. Scoop up and remove. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Water washdown not recommended. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling: Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight. Hygroscopic Material. Keep containers closed tightly when not in use. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION Engineering Controls: Use in a well ventilated area. Respiratory Protection: Local nuisance dust OES applies. Use in a well ventilated area.
