  Section III. Hazards Identification  
 Acute Health Effects Irritating to eyes and skin on contact. Inhalation causes irritation of the lungs and respiratory system. Inflammation of the 
 eye is characterized by redness, watering, and itching. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening, 
 or, occasionally, blistering. 
 Harmful if ingested or inhaled. Minimize exposure to this material. Severe overexposure can result in injury or death. 
 Follow safe industrial hygiene practices and always wear proper protective equipment when handling this compound. 
 Chronic Health Effects CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS : Not available. 
 MUTAGENIC EFFECTS : Not available. 
 TERATOGENIC EFFECTS : Not available. 
 DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available. 
 Repeated or prolonged exposure to this compound is not known to aggravate existing medical conditions. 
 
  Section IV.  First Aid Measures 
 Eye Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 
 minutes. Get medical attention. 
 Skin Contact In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing 
 before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention. 
 Inhalation If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or 
 waistband. If breathing is difficult, oxygen can be administered. Seek medical attention if respiration problems do not 
 improve. 
 Ingestion INDUCE VOMITING by sticking finger in throat. Lower the head so that the vomit will not reenter the mouth and throat. 
 Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth 
 resuscitation. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues are damaged, a possible indication that the 
 toxic material was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive.

  Section VI.  Accidental Release Measures 
 Spill Cleanup 
 Irritating material. Harmful material. Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish 
 cleaning the spill by rinsing any contaminated surfaces with copious amounts of water. Consult federal, state, and/or local 
 Instructions 
 authorities for assistance on disposal. 
 
  Section VII. Handling and Storage  
 IRRITANT. HARMFUL. Keep away from heat. Mechanical exhaust required. When not in use, tightly seal the container 
 Handling and Storage 
 and store in a dry, cool place. Avoid excessive heat and light. Do not breathe dust. 
 Information 
 Always store away from incompatible compounds such as oxidizing agents, acids. 
 
  Section VIII. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  
 Engineering Controls Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below 
 recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to 
 airborne contaminants below the exposure limit. 
 Personal Protection Splash goggles. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult 
 a specialist BEFORE handling this product. Be sure to use a MSHA/NIOSH approved respirator or equivalent.
