Eye Contact: Flush eyes for at least 15 minutes, remove contact lenses, consult physician if irritation persists
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, seek medical attention if irritation develops
Inhalation: Move to fresh air, support breathing if necessary, consult a physician for persistent symptoms
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water, seek professional medical attention if discomfort continues or large quantities consumed
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically; product considered of low toxicity but observation recommended for large exposures
Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, CO2, foam or water mist (not direct stream)
Special Hazards: Product may melt, producing irritating or flammable vapors above 230°C; dust can form explosive mixtures with air
Protective Equipment: Full protective clothing, self-contained breathing apparatus recommended
Specific Methods: Remove containers from fire zone if safe, avoid breathing smoke or combustion products
Personal Precautions: Use protective gloves, goggles, avoid dust generation, ventilate area adequately
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage into drains or waterways; product is not classified hazardous to waters but best practice restricts release
Cleanup Methods: Sweep or vacuum up without generating dust, place in suitable containers for disposal, wash spill site
Handling: Avoid skin or eye contact, prevent inhalation of dust, practice normal hygiene, use in well-ventilated area
Storage: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct light, strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents
Packaging: Keep in tightly closed containers; do not store near incompatible substances
Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits established for this product
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation for bulk handling to keep dust below nuisance levels
Personal Protection: Use gloves (PVC or nitrile), goggles for dust protection, dust mask (P2 or N95) for large-scale operations
