Section 4: First Aid Measures
Eye Contact:
Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes,
keeping eyelids open. Cold water may be used. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact:
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin
with running water and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin.
Cold water may be used. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.
Serious Skin Contact: Not available.
Inhalation: Allow the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Small Spill:
Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. If necessary: Neutralize
the residue with a dilute solution of acetic acid. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated
surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements.
Large Spill:
Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Neutralize the residue with a dilute
solution of acetic acid. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate
through the sanitary system.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Precautions:
Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust. Avoid contact with eyes Wear suitable protective clothing In case of
insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and
show the container or the label. Keep away from incompatibles such as moisture.
