Section 3 - Hazards Identification 
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
May cause irritation to eyes, respiratory system and skin.

Potential Health Effects
Eye: Dust can cause eye irritation.  Symptoms include stinging,  tearing, redness, and swelling of eyes.                                                                                          
Skin: Unlikely to cause skin irritation or injury.                                                                        
Swallowing: Swallowing this material is not likely to be harmful.  
Inhalation: This material is a dust or may produce dust.  Breathing small amounts of this material is not likely to be harmful.                                                                          
Symptoms of Exposure: No data                                                                                                           
Target Organ Effects: No data     
Developmental Information: There are no data available for assessing risk to the fetus from maternal exposure to this material.                                                                                           
Cancer Information:There is no information available.  The chance of this material causing cancer is unknown.  This material is not listed as a carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the National Toxicology Program, or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.                                                     
Other Health Effects: This material can form dust which may cause skin or mucous membrane irritation.  Symptoms may include redness, burning, and   swelling.  Although they may cause respiratory tract irritation, nuisance dusts do not form scar tissue or affect the structure of air spaces in the lungs.  Their effects on the tissues are potentially reversible.                                                                                                         
Primary Route(s) of Entry: Inhalation, Skin contact, Eye contact.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures 
Eyes: If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from exposure and into fresh air.  Flush eyes gently with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids apart; seek immediate medical attention.                                                                                                        
Skin: First aid is not normally required.  However, it is recommended that exposed areas be cleaned by washing with soap and water.                                                                                 
Swallowing: First aid is not normally required.  If symptoms develop, seek medical attention.                                                                                                               
Inhalation: If symptoms develop, move individual away from exposure and into fresh air.  If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.  If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen.  Keep person warm and quiet; seek immediate medical attention.                            
Note to Physicians: No data      

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures 
General Information: Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece operated in the positive pressure demand mode with appropriate turn-out gear and chemical resistant personal protective equipment.  Refer to the personal protective equipment section of this MSDS.
Extinguishing Media: Use regular foam, water fog, carbon dioxide, sand.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures 
Small Spill: Sweep up material for disposal or recovery.                                                             
Large Spill: Shovel material into containers.  Thoroughly sweep area of spill to clean up any residual material.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage 
Handling: Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied.  Since emptied containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or  solid), all hazard precautions given in the data sheet must be observed.  Use good personal hygiene practices.  Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking, or using toilet facilities.  Promptly remove soiled clothing and wash before reuse.  Shower after work using plenty of soap and water.                                     
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place at 75 degrees F or lower. 

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection 
Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate ventilation to
keep airborne concentrations low.

Personal Protective Equipment
Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses in compliance with OSHA regulations. (Consult  your safety representative.)                                                                                                     
Skin Protection: Wear resistant gloves such as:  latex.                                                            
Respiratory Protections: 3M Dust respirator No. 8710 or 9900 is recommended or a NIOSH/MSHA jointly approved dust respirator. (See your safety equipment supplier.)                                                          
Engineering Controls: Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to maintain exposure below level of overexposure (from  known, suspected or apparent adverse effects).
