Section 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation:

If breathing is difficult, remove to fresh air and keep at rest in a position
comfortable for breathing. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist.

Skin contact:

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower.
Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Chemical burns must be
treated by a physician. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

Ingestion:

Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Rinse mouth. Do not
induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach content
doesn't get into the lungs

Eye contact:

Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Continue
rinsing. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Remove contact
lenses, if present and easy to do.

Symptoms/effects:
Burning pain and severe corrosive skin damage. Causes serious eye damage.
Symptoms may include stinging, tearing, redness, swelling, and blurred vision.
Permanent eye damage including blindness could result.
Immediate medical
attention/action:
Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Chemical
burns: Flush with water immediately. While flushing, remove clothes which do
not adhere to affected area. Call an ambulance. Continue flushing during
transport to hospital. Keep victim under observation. Symptoms may be
delayed.

Section 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable
extinguishing
media:

Dry chemical, alcohol foam, carbon dioxide. Do not use water jet, as this
may spread burning material.

Specific hazards:

Product will float and can be re-ignited at the water’s surface. Closed
containers may rupture if exposed to excess heat or flame due to a buildup of internal pressure.

Special fire-fighting procedures: Firefighters should wear proper full protective equipment
and self-contained breathing apparatus. Move containers from fire area if it can be done without
risk. Water spray may be ineffective. Water spray may only be useful in cooling equipment and
containers exposed to heat and flame.

Section 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal
Precautions:

Clean-up personnel should wear appropriate chemically protective
equipment and respiratory protection.

Large Spill:

For large product users or spills involving large quantities, it is recommended
that the purchaser establish a spill prevention, control and countermeasure
plan. This plan should include procedures for proper storage, as well as
clean-up of spills or leaks. The procedure should conform to safe practices
and provide for proper recovery and/or disposal.
Eliminate all sources of heat and flame. Ventilate area of release. If material
is in paste form, scrape up into suitable containers. If material is in dust form,
clean up using dustless methods (for example, HEPA vacuum). Do not use
compressed air. Place any recovered material in closed, labelled containers
for recycling or disposal (see below). Keep out of waterways. Notify the
appropriate authorities as required.

and Clean up

Section 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling:

Storage:

Wear appropriate chemically protective equipment. Use in a well ventilated
area. Avoid inhalation and ingestion of product, and activities that generate
dust or fume. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Keep melting
temperatures as low as possible to minimize the generation of fumes. NOTE:
Inadvertent contaminants to product, such as moisture, ice, snow, grease or
oil can cause an explosion when charged to a molten metal bath or melting
furnace. (Preheating metal will remove moisture from product). Keep away
from oxidizing materials and incompatibles. Use caution when opening cap.
Keep container closed when not in use. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible material,
heat and flame. Practice good housekeeping procedures to prevent
accumulation of dust or refuse. Keep material dry.

An eyewash station and safety shower should be made available in
the immediate working area. Other equipment, including chemically
resistant apron, may be required according to workplace standards.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Respiratory protection:

For prolonged exposure or if the TLV is exceeded, wear NIOSHapproved respirators. Use in well ventilated area. Use general
ventilation for prolonged exposures or if the TLV is not known.

Skin and body protection: Gloves impervious to the material must be worn. Advice should be
sought from glove suppliers.
Eye protection:

Safety goggles, to prevent product from entering the eyes. Safety
glasses or goggles AND a full face shield are recommended
around molten metal.

Hygiene measures:

Avoid inhalation of vapors, fumes and dusts. Avoid contact with
eyes, skin and clothing. Do not permit eating, drinking or the use
of cosmetics or tobacco products while handling or processing
material, or in product work areas. Practice good personal hygiene
procedures. Wash hands and face thoroughly before eating,
drinking, applying cosmetics or using tobacco products. Remove
soiled clothing and wash it thoroughly before reuse.
