Skin: Dust may cause slight irritation. Ingestion: Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments. Ingestion may result in nausea, abdominal irritation, pain and diarrhea. Inhalation: Inhalation of airborne dust may cause irritation to the mucous membrane and upper airways. Symptoms of exposure can include coughing, sneezing and breathing difficulties.

3 Inhalation of dust may aggravate a pre-existing respiratory condition such as asthma, bronchitis, emphysema. Repeated or prolonged inhalation may cause lung damage. Chronic: Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Section 4- First Aid Measures Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical attention if irritation occurs. Skin: Immediately wash skin with soap and copious amounts of water. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. If irritation develops and persists, seek medical attention. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Wash out mouth with water. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.

4 Get medical aid if irritation develops and persists. Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Seek medical attention if irritation develops or persists. Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically. Section 5- Fire Fighting Measures General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Product is not combustible. Extinguishing Media: Use agent most appropriate to extinguish surrounding fire. Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam. Section 6- Accidental Release Measures General information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in section 8.

5 Spills/Leaks: Sweep up and place in suitable containers for recycle or disposal. Spilled or released at long industrial condition: remove ignition sources, keep away from heat and flame, evacuate area. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing dust. Shut off source of the leak only if it is easy to do so. Do not get water inside containers. Do not let product enter drains. Section 7-Handling and Storage Handling: In accordance with good industrial practice, handle with care and avoid unnecessary personal contact. Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid physical damage to containers. Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling the product. Do not allow contact with water. Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated away from incompatible substances.

6 Store in a tightly closed container. Keep away from moisture. Section 8- Exposure Control, 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. Industrial Protection for Industrial Use Eyes: Wear chemical splash goggles Skin: for prolonged or repeated contact use protective gloves. Clothing: choose body protection according to the amount and concentration of the dangerous substance at the work place. Respirators: Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR or European Standard En a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. Section 9- Physical and Chemical Properties Physical State: Powder Color: Amber Odor Odorless pH: 7 Vapor Pressure N/A Boiling Point: N/A Freezing/Melting Point 1000 C Autoignition Temperature N/A Flash Point: Not applicable Explosion Limits: Lower N/A Explosion Limits: Upper N/A Decomposition Temperature: N/A Solubility in water Insoluble Specific Gravity/Density: g/cm3 Section 10- Stability and Reactivity Chemical Stability: Stable under normal temperatures and pressures.
