Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INFORMATION ON THE HUMAN HEALTH
    EFFECTS FROM EXPOSURE TO THIS SUBSTANCE IS LIMITED. ACUTE: 
    INHALATION: INHALATION OF DUST IS IRRITATING TO THE UPPER
    RESPIRATORY TRACT. INGESTION: COMPOUND SHOULD BE H ANDLED AS A
    POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARD. IN LABORATORY ANIMALS, LETHAL DOSES OF
    THIS MATERIAL RESULTED IN CONVULSIONS, RESPIRATORY SYSTEM EFFECT,
    AND CYANOSIS. SKIN CONTACT: CAUSES SKIN IRRITATION. EYE CO NTACT:
    STRONG IRRITANT. CAUSE EYE IRRITATION. CHRONIC: NO INFORMATION
    FOUND.
Effects of Overexposure:SEE HEALTH HAZARDS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NO INFORMATION FOUND.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
    ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.
    CALL A PHYSICIAN. INGESTION: GIVE LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER TO DRINK.
    NEVER GIVE AN YTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. GET MEDICAL
    ATTENTION. SKIN CONTACT: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH SKIN WITH PLENTY OF
    WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. CALL A PHYSICIAN IF IRRITATION
    DEVELOPS. EYE CONTACT : IN CASE OF CONTACT, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES
    WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES, LIFTING UPPER AND
    LOWER EYELIDS OCCASIONALLY. CALL A PHYSICIAN IF IRRITATION
    PERSISTS.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Extinguishing Media:WATER SPRAY, DRY CHEMICAL, ALCOHOL FOAM, OR CARBON
    DIOXIDE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT .
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FINE DUST DISPERSED IN AIR IN SUFFICIENT
    CONCENTRATIONS, AND IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE IS A
    POTENTIAL DUST EXPLOSION HAZARD. FIRE: AS WITH MOIST ORGANIC
    SOLIDS, FIRE IS POSSIBLE AT ELEVATE D TEMPERATURES OR BY CONTACT
    WITH AN IGNITION SOURCE.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION. VENTILATE AREA
    OF LEAK OR SPILL. WEAR APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AS
    SPECIFIED IN SECTION 8. SPILLS: CLEAN UP SPILLS IN A MANNER THAT
    DOES NOT DISPERSE DU ST INTO THE AIR. USE NON-SPARKING TOOLS AND
    EQUIPMENT. REDUCE AIRBORNE DUST AND PREVENT SCATTERING BY
    MOISTENING WITH WATER. PICK UP SPILL FOR RECOVERY OR DISPOSAL AND
    PLACE IN A CLOSED CONTAINER.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP IN TIGHTLY CLSD CNTNR, STORED IN
    COOL, DRY VENT AREA. PROTECT AGAINST PHYSICAL DMG. ISOLATE FROM
    INCOMPATIBLE SUBSTANCES. CNTNRS OF THIS MATL MAY BE HAZ WHEN EMPTY
    SINCE THEY RETAIN PROD RESIDUES  (DUST, SOLIDS); OBSERVE ALL
    WARINGS & PREC LISTED FOR PROD.
Other Precautions:AVOID DUST FORMATION & CONTROL IGNITION SOURCES.
    EMPLOY GROUNDING, VENTING & EXPLOSION RELIEF PROVISIONS
    I/A/W/ACCEPTED ENGINEERING PRACTICES IN ANY PROCESS CAPABLE OF
    GENERATING DUST AND/OR STATIC EL ECTRICITY. EMPTY ONLY INTO
    INERT/NON-FLAMMABLE ATM. EMPTYING CONTENTS INTO NON-INERT ATM
    (SUPDAT)

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:(NIOSH APPROVED): FOR CONDITIONS OF USE WHERE
    EXPOSURE TO THE DUST OR MIST IS APPARENT, A HALF-FACE DUST/MIST
    RESPIRATOR MAY BE WORN. FOR EMERGENCIES OF INSTANCES WHERE THE
    EXPOSURE LEVELS ARE NOT KNO WN, USE A FULL-FACE POSITIVE-PRESSURE,
    AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRATORY. WARNING: AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRATORS DO NOT
    PROTECT WORKERS IN OXYGEN-DEFICIENT ATMOSPHERES.
Ventilation:SYS OF LOC &/GENERAL EXHST IS REC TO KEEP EMPLOYEE EXPOS AS
    LOW AS POSS. LOC EXHST VENT IS GENERALY PREFERRED BECAUSE IT CAN
    CONTROL EMISSIONS (SUPDAT)
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS GLOVES.
Eye Protection:ANSI APPROVED CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES .
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH & DELUGE SHOWER MTG ANSI DESIGN
    CRITERIA . WEAR IMPERVIOUS PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, INCLUDING BOOTS,
    LAB COAT, APRON OR COVERALLS, AS APPROPRIATE, TO PREVENT SKIN
    CONTACT.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING.
Supplemental Safety and Health
OTHER PREC: WHERE FLAMM VAP MAY BE PRESENT COULD CAUSE FLASH
    FIRE/EXPLOSION DUE TO ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE. VENT: OF CONTAM AT
    ITS SOURCES, PREVENTING DISPERSION OF IT INTO GENERAL WORK AREA.
    PLEASE R EFER TO ACGIH DOCUMENT, INDUSTRIAL VENTILATION, A MANUAL
