SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
4.1. Description of First-aid Measures
General: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If you feel unwell, seek medical advice (show the label where
possible).
Inhalation: When symptoms occur: go into open air and ventilate suspected area. Obtain medical attention if breathing difficulty
persists.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 30 minutes and continue
flushing throughout emergency transport, if needed. Immediately call a poison center or physician. Wash contaminated clothing
before reuse.
Eye Contact: Get medical attention immediately and begin flushing eyes with plenty of water for at least 30 minutes and continue
flushing eyes throughout emergency transport. Immediately call a poison center or physician. Occasionally lift the upper and lower
eyelids during flushing. Remove any contact lenses, if possible. Chemical burns should be treated promptly by a physician.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Obtain medical attention.

4.2. Most Important Symptoms and Effects Both Acute and Delayed
General: Causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure. Causes skin irritation. Causes serious eye damage. May
cause cancer.
Inhalation: Prolonged exposure may cause irritation.
Skin Contact: Redness, pain, swelling, itching, burning, dryness, and dermatitis.
Eye Contact: Potentially causes permanent damage to the cornea, iris, or conjunctiva.
Ingestion: Ingestion may cause adverse effects.
Chronic Symptoms: May cause cancer. Causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure. Long term exposure to
respirable crystalline silica results in a significant risk of developing silicosis and other non-malignant respiratory disease, lung
cancer, kidney effects, and immune system effects.
4.3. Indication of Any Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment Needed
If exposed or concerned, get medical advice and attention. If medical advice is needed, have product container or label at hand.
SECTION 5: FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
5.1. Extinguishing Media

6.1.1. For Non-Emergency Personnel
Protective Equipment: Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
Emergency Procedures: Evacuate unnecessary personnel.
6.1.2. For Emergency Personnel
Protective Equipment: Equip cleanup crew with proper protection.
Emergency Procedures: Upon arrival at the scene, a first responder is expected to recognize the presence of dangerous goods,
protect oneself and the public, secure the area, and call for the assistance of trained personnel as soon as conditions permit.
Ventilate area.
6.2. Environmental Precautions
Prevent entry to sewers and public waters.
6.3. Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up
For Containment: Contain solid spills with appropriate barriers and prevent migration and entry into sewers or streams.
Methods for Cleaning Up: Clean up spills immediately and dispose of waste safely. Recover the product by vacuuming, shoveling or
sweeping. Transfer spilled material to a suitable container for disposal. Contact competent authorities after a spill.
6.4. Reference to Other Sections
See Section 8 for exposure controls and personal protection and Section 13 for disposal considerations.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1. Precautions for Safe Handling

8.2. Exposure Controls
Appropriate Engineering Controls: Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in the immediate vicinity
of any potential exposure. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Ensure all national/local regulations are
observed. Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in the immediate vicinity of any potential
exposure.
Personal Protective Equipment: Gloves. Protective clothing. Protective goggles. Insufficient ventilation and/or dust generation:
wear respiratory protection.

Materials for Protective Clothing: Chemically resistant materials and fabrics.

Hand Protection: Wear protective gloves.
Eye and Face Protection: Chemical safety goggles.
Skin and Body Protection: Wear suitable protective clothing.
Respiratory Protection: If exposure limits are exceeded or irritation is experienced, approved respiratory protection should be worn.
In case of inadequate ventilation, oxygen deficient atmosphere, or where exposure levels are not known wear approved respiratory
protection.
Other Information: When using, do not eat, drink or smoke.
