Allergens: None recognized by FDA, but product may be processed in facilities with allergens
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes; lift upper and lower eyelids; seek medical attention if irritation does not subside
Skin Contact: Wash area thoroughly with soap and water; remove stained clothing; do not use strong solvents
Inhalation: Move to fresh air, keep warm and at rest; if discomfort persists, seek medical advice
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water; do not induce vomiting; seek attention in case of persistent symptoms, especially gastrointestinal upset
Acute Effects: Generally non-toxic in small amounts; large exposures can cause minor gastrointestinal irritation or allergic response
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical, CO2, water spray or fog
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Strong jets of water may spread powders or dust
Specific Hazards: Fine powder may form explosive dust-air mixtures in confined spaces
Combustion Products: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, trace nitrogen oxides, possible aldehydes
