Section 3: Hazards Identification

Potential Health Effects

Eye: Dust may cause eye irritation. Symptoms include stinging, tearing, redness, and swelling of eyes.

Skin: Unlikely to cause skin irritation or injury.

Swallowing: Swallowing this material is not likely to be harmful.

Inhalation: This material is a powder and may produce dust. Breathing small amounts of this material is not likely to be harmful.

Symptoms of Exposure: No data

Target Organ Effects: No data

Developmental Information: There is no data available for assess risk to the fetus from maternal exposure to this material

Cancer Information: There is no information available. The chance of this material causing cancer is unknown. This material is not listed as a carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the National Toxicology Program, or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Other Health Effects: This material can form dust which may cause skin or mucous membrane irritation. Symptoms include redness, burning and swelling. Although they may cause respiratory tract irritation, nuisance dusts do not form scar tissue or affect the structure of air spaces in the lungs. Their effects on the tissues are potentially reversible.

Primary Route(s) of Entry: Inhalation, Skin contact, Eye contact

 

Section 4: First Aid Measures

Oral Exposure: First aid is not normally required. If symptoms develop, seek medical attention.

Inhaled Exposure: If symptoms develop, move the individual away from exposure and into fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Keep person warm and quiet; seek medical attention.

Dermal Exposure: First aid is not normally required. However, it is recommended that exposed area by cleaned by washing with soap and water.

Eye Exposure: If Symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. Flush eyes gently with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids apart; seek immediate medical attention.

Note to Physicians: No data

 

Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures

Autoignition temp: Unknown

Flammability: Non-combustible

Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing media appropriate to surrounding fire conditions.

Firefighting: For fires involving this material, do not enter any enclosed or confined fire space without proper protective equipment. This may include self-contained breathing apparatus to protect against the hazardous effects of the normal products of combustion or oxygen deficiency.

NFPA Rating
