FIRST AID MEASURES Inhalation Ingestion Skin Eye Contact Advice to Doctor Remove the source of contamination or move the victim to fresh air. Ensure airways are clear and have qualified person give oxygen through a face mask if breathing is difficult. If symptoms develop, seek medical If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. If symptoms persist, seek medical Wash affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. Remove and wash contaminated clothing thoroughly. If irritation persists, get medical IMMEDIATELY flush eye(s) with copious amounts of water for approximately 15 minutes holding eyelid(s) open. Take care not to rinse contaminated water into the non-affected eye. If pain persists or recurs, seek medical Treat symptomatically. 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Suitable Extinguishing Media Hazard from Combustion Products Specific Hazards Precautions Product contains a substantial proportion of water, therefore there are no restrictions on the type of extinguishing media which may be used. When involved in a fire, this product may generate toxic fumes. Combustion products: Oxides of carbon and harmful organic chemical fumes Fire fighters use Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). Personal protection Safety glasses or chemical goggles, PVC or chemical resistant gloves. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Emergency Procedures Clean-up & Disposal Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Clear area of people and move upwind. Avoid breathing vapours or contact with skin and eyes. For small spills: Clean up spills immediately. Contain and absorb spill with sand, earth inert material or vermiculite. Place in a suitable, labelled container for waste disposal. For large spills: Prevent by all means available, spillage from entering drains or watercourses.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Discharge, treatment and disposal may be subject to federal, state or local laws and these should be consulted before discharge. Safe Handling Safe Storage Do not ingest. Avoid contact with skin. Store away from foodstuffs. Store away from strong alkalis and chlorinated products. Store in original containers. Polyethylene or polypropylene containers are suitable. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION National Exposure Standards Biological Limit Values Engineering Controls Respiratory Protection Eye Protection Hand Protection Body Protection Use local exhaust if misting occurs. Natural ventilation is adequate in absence of mists or dust. The measures appropriate for a particular worksite depends on how this material is used and on the extent of exposure. Use this general information to help develop specific control measures. Ensure that control systems are properly designed and maintained and comply with occupational, environmental, fire, and other applicable regulations. No biological limit allocated. A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Adequate ventilation should be provided so that exposure limits are not exceeded. Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate, use a full-face particle respirator. Safety glasses with side shields or chemical goggles. Wear chemical resistant gloves, e.g. PVC. Wear overalls. 9.
