EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful if swallowed. Cause irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin

Potential Health Effects
Inhalation: May be harmful if inhaled. May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed.
Skin: May be harmful if absorbed through skin. May cause skin irritation. 
Eyes: May cause eye irritation.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures 
General advices: Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
If inhaled: If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration Consult a physician.
In case of skin contact: Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a physician.
In case of eye contact: Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician.
If swallowed:Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with water. Consult a physician.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures 
General Information: Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Extinguishing media: Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire. In case of fire use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures 
Personal precautions: Use personal protective equipment. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing dust. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.
Environmental precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Pick up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage 
Precautions for safe handling: Avoid formation of dust and aerosols.Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use.
Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. Normal measures for preventive fire protection.
Conditions for safe storage: Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection 
Engineering Controls: Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.

Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection: Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and
components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
Hand protection: The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it. Handle with gloves.
Eye protection: Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166
Skin and body protection: Choose body protection according to the amount and concentration of the dangerous substance at the work place.

Hygiene measures: Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product.
