Section 4 First Aid Measures
Eye exposure Irrigate eyes with water and repeat
until pain free. Seek medical
attention if irritation develops or if
vision changes occur.
Skin Exposure In case of contact, wash with plenty
of soap and water. Seek medical
attention if irritation develops.
Inhalation If respiratory irritation or distress
occurs remove victim to fresh air.
Seek Medical attention if irritation
persists.
Ingestion If victim is conscious and alert give
2-3 glasses of water to drink and do
not induce vomiting. See immediate
medical attention. Do not leave victim
unattended. To prevent aspiration of
swallowed product, lay victim on the
side with head lower than waist. If
vomiting occurs and the victim is
conscious, give water to further
dilute the chemical.
Medical conditions possibly aggravated by exposure: Inhalation of product may
aggravate existing chronic respiratory problems such as asthma, emphysema, or
bronchitis. Skin contact may aggravate existing skin disease. Chronic
overexposure may cause pneumoconiosis ("dusty lung" disease).
Section 5. Fire fighting measures.
Extinguishing media Non combustible and non flammable-
product is an extinguishing agent.
Unusual fire/explosion hazards In a fire this material may decompose,
releasing oxides to sulfur and carbon
( See section 10)
Insensitive to mechanical impact or static discharge.
HMIS Hazard Ranking :
Health =1 Flammability =0 Reactivity = 0 Personal protective
equipment: ½ mask
APR w/ HEPA
cartridges (see
section 8).
Section 6. Accidental release measures
Clean up released material using vacuum or wet sweep and shovel to minimize
generation of dust. Wear appropriate respiratory protection. Bag and drum for
disposal. If product is used and/or contaminated, use PPE and containment
appropriate to the nature of the mixture. Prevent material from entering
waterways.
Section 7. Handling and storage.
Avoid skin, eye, or respiratory exposure. Use appropriate PPE when handling or
maintaining equipment, and wash thoroughly after handling (see Section 8).
Keep product in original container or extinguisher. Contents may be under
pressure-inspect for extinguisher rust periodically to insure container
integrity. Do not mix with other extinguishing agents.
Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection.
During the application of this product against fires, exhaust gases and the
products of incomplete combustion (PICs) are the principal respiratory
hazards. In the manufacture of extinguishers automated systems and the point
source ventilation controls sufficiently minimize respiratory exposure.
Employers and employees must use their collective judgment in determining
occupational settings where the use of a dust mask or air purifying respirator
is prudent. The need for respiratory protection is not likely for short term
use in well ventilated areas.
Respiratory Protection Use N95 dust mask or air purifying
respirator (APR) with high efficiency
particulate air (HEPA) filters.
Eye Protection Wear chemical goggles
Skin Protection Use nitrile, latex, or similar gloves
and coveralls. Good personal hygiene
practices essential, such as avoiding
food, tobacco products, or other hand
to mouth contact while handling. Wash
thoroughly after handling.
