Appearance: white to off-white solid. Warning! Causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. May cause allergic respiratory and skin reaction. Target Organs: Respiratory system, eyes, skin. Potential Health Effects Eye: Causes eye irritation. Skin: Causes skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin. Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May be
harmful if swallowed. May cause serious or fatal hypersensitivity (anaphylactic) reactions in some Inhalation: Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause allergic respiratory reaction. May be harmful if inhaled. Chronic: No information found.
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid. Skin: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing before reuse. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Get medical aid. Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear.
