Section III. Hazards Identification
Yellow powder. Not expected to be a significant acute health hazard. Dust suspended in air in critical
Emergency Overview
proportions and in the presence of an ignition source may present an explosion hazard.




Section IV. First Aid Measures
In case of contact, flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Eye Contact


After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated
Skin Contact
skin with running water and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and
groin. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.

Allow the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention
Inhalation


Do not induce vomiting. Immediately give two glasses of water, a little at a time. Never give anything by
Ingestion
mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, lower head below waist
to prevent fluid from entering the lungs

Special Remarks on
Fire Hazards
Special Remarks on Explosion As with any dry material, pouring or allowing to free-fall or to be conveyed through chutes or pipes can
Hazards accumulate and generate electrostatic sparks, potentially causing ignition of the material itself, or of any
flammable materials which may come in contact with the material or its container.



Section VI. Accidental Release Measures
Put spilled solid in a waste disposal container.
Small Spill

Evacuate area of nonessential personnel. Use safety glasses and gloves. Respiratory protection is required
Large Spill
only if a dust is generated. Scoop or shovel spilled solids into containers. Avoid creating a dust. Prevent
spilled product or contaminated wash water from entering drinking water supplies or streams.



Section VII. Handling and Storage
Keep container tightly closed. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place. Highly toxic or infectious materials
Storage
should be stored in a separate locked safety storage cabinet or room.
Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after
Handling Procedures and
handling. Store in cool area. Keep away from heat, sparks, and flames. Under dusty conditions, static
Equipment
electricity may cause an explosion. Take proper precautions when transferring material, including grounding
equipment, providing an inert atmosphere and using properly designed material handling equipment. For
operations involving milling or addition to flammable solvents, use Class II, Division I, electrical equipment.




Section VIII. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below
Engineering Controls
recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep
exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
Safety glasses. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.
Personal Protection
Gloves.
TWA: 15 (mg/m3) from OSHA (PEL)
TLV/PEL
TWA: 10 (mg/m3) from ACGIH (TLV)


Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits.
