Ingredient List: No hazardous ingredients in concentrations presenting a risk within normal use
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, seek medical attention if symptoms such as coughing or shortness of breath occur, provide oxygen if breathing remains difficult
Skin Contact: Wash affected area with plenty of water and mild soap, remove contaminated clothing, consult medical help if irritation persists
Eye Contact: Rinse eye under gentle running water for 10–15 minutes, keep eyelid open, seek medical care if irritation or redness remains
Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly with water, do not induce vomiting, seek medical advice in case of large quantities or adverse symptoms
Medical Attention: Treat symptomatically, no specific antidote required as effects are predictable and generally mild
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: High-pressure water jets may disperse powder
Specific Hazards: May produce carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and irritant fumes on combustion
Protective Equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighters working near the source
Special Procedures: Use water spray to cool exposed containers, avoid inhalation of smoke or combustion products, remove containers from risk zone if safe to do so
Personal Precautions: Avoid creating dust, wear dust mask, use gloves and safety goggles
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering water systems in large spills, contain spill with inert absorbent material
Clean-Up Procedures: Sweep up to avoid generating dust, place in labelled containers for recovery or disposal, ventilate area, wash spill site with plenty of water
Disposal: Follow regulations for disposal of non-hazardous food or cosmetic material
Handling: Minimize dust formation, use in well-ventilated areas, avoid breathing dust, refrain from eating, drinking or smoking during handling
Storage: Store in cool, dry location, keep packaging tightly closed, shield from moisture and direct sunlight, avoid highly humid conditions
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, acids, bases
Hygiene Recommendations: Wash hands after handling, disconnect sources and avoid contamination with food preparation zones unless intended for use
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limit values
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation recommended for significant dust generation, keep workplace clean
