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 Dry chemical, alcohol foam, carbon dioxide. Do not use water jet, as this

extinguishing may spread burning material.

media:

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 build-

up 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:

Large Spill:

Clean-up personnel should wear appropriate chemically protective

equipment and respiratory protection.

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.

Methods for

Containment

and Clean up

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.

Section 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling: 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.

Storage: 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.

Engineering measures: 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 NIOSH-

approved 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.
