First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move to fresh air, monitor for any breathing difficulties, seek medical advice if irritation or coughing persists
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, rinse skin with plenty of water and soap, seek medical help if redness or irritation develops
Eye Contact: Rinse carefully with water for at least 15 minutes, remove contact lenses if possible, call a healthcare provider if stinging or redness continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, avoid inducing vomiting, seek medical advice if feeling unwell or if large amounts are swallowed

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water mist, CO2, foam, or dry chemical agents
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Avoid high-pressure water streams that may spread product
Specific Hazards: Product doesn't readily ignite but can emit CO2 and other combustion gases if strongly heated
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing for major fires
Firefighting Instructions: Isolate area, prevent runoff from reaching drains or waterways

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Use personal protective equipment like gloves and goggles, ventilate area
Environmental Precautions: Avoid entry into sewers, waterways, and soil
Spill Cleanup Methods: Contain with absorbent materials such as sand or vermiculite, shovel residue into containers for disposal, wash spill site with water
Additional Measures: Notify responsible authorities if release exceeds reportable quantities

Handling and Storage

Safe Handling: Prevent skin and eye contact, avoid dust generation, do not eat, drink, or smoke during use, maintain local exhaust ventilation
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly sealed containers in cool, dry, well-ventilated locations, keep away from incompatible materials like acids or oxidizers, protect from freezing and direct sunlight
Packaging Materials: Use original containers or compatible polyethylene drums or pails

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: Check workplace guidelines for any limits on respirable dust or particulates
Engineering Controls: Provide local exhaust or general room ventilation to keep airborne levels below exposure limits
Personal Protective Equipment: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles or shield for eye protection, NIOSH-approved respirator if mist or dust exceeds limits, use coveralls or apron as necessary
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and exposed areas before breaks and at shift end, launder contaminated clothing before reuse

Decomposition Products: CO2, small amounts of volatile organic compounds may form at high temperatures
Incompatibility: Strong acids, oxidizers, reducing agents

Toxicological Information

Acute Toxicity: Low oral and dermal toxicity; dust or mist may cause mild respiratory irritation
Skin/Eye Contact: Most reactions are mild; repeated or prolonged contact increases chance of dryness or irritation
Inhalation: High concentrations of dust or mist may trigger cough or shortness of breath in sensitive individuals
Chronic Effects: No evidence of chronic toxicity or sensitizing
Carcinogenicity, Mutagenicity, Reproductive Toxicity: No ingredients listed as suspected or known carcinogens; not found to cause genetic harm or reproductive toxicity

Ecological Information

Aquatic Toxicity: Not classified as hazardous but high concentrations may cause local disruptions in aquatic organisms
Mobility: Moderate; water-based composition increases likelihood of transport if released
Persistence/Degradability: Contains biodegradable and slowly degrading components
Bioaccumulative Potential: Expected to be low for major components
Soil Impact: Minimal risk if handled responsibly

Disposal Considerations

Waste Treatment Methods: Dispose of unused or contaminated product through licensed waste handler
Product Disposal: Small quantities can often go with solid waste if local authorities allow; larger amounts require controlled landfill or approved incineration after consulting environmental requirements
Container Disposal: Rinse thoroughly, recycle or landfill by local regulation, do not reuse packaging for food or drink
Precautions: Always prevent uncontrolled release into sewer, surface water, or soil

Transport Information

UN Number: Not regulated for international or US transport
UN Proper Shipping Name: Non-hazardous; refer to local transport rules
Transport Hazard Class: Not applicable
