Flush skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes Remove contaminated clothing and shoes, and wash before reuse. If ingested in large quantities may cause dissentery and increase of glycemic level. Get medical aid immediately. If victim is alert and conscious, let drink copious water or milk. Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. Get medical aid if cough or other symptoms appear. If not breathing, give artificial respiration and get medical aid immediately. SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES General information: Extinguishing media: Autoignition temperature: Flash point: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear. This material in sufficient quantity and reduced particle size is capable of creating a dust explosion. May emit toxic fumes under fire conditions (carbon monoxide, formaldehyde). Water, carbon dioxide, sand, earth, foam, dry chemical powder. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until fire is out. Higher than 450 C. Higher than 200 C.

3 General information: Spills/Leaks: Wear proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8. Sweep up material, then place into a suitable, clean, dry container for disposal. Then wash the contaminated area with water, preventing the water used for cleanup from being dispersed into the soil or sewer. SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Storage: Keep away from heat and flame. Store in a cool, dry place. Keep containers tightly closed. SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION Engineering controls: Exposure limits: Personal protective equipment: Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentration low. Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to control airborne levels. For not dangerous dust: 10 mg/m 3 TWA. Eyes: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles. Skin: Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure. Clothing: Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure. Respirators: Use appropriate respirator when necessary.
