Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Irritating to respiratory system and skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation. May cause conjunctivitis.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
Contact with the skin may cause urticaria (hives).
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause asthmatic attacks due to allergic sensitization of the respiratory tract. Causes irritation of mucous membrane. Inhalation may produce tearing, sneezing, rhinorrhea (the free discharge of a thin nasal mucus), cough, dyspnea (labored breathing), bronchial asthma, and cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood).
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Chronic inhalation may cause effects similar to those of acute inhalation.

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:

Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Dusts at sufficient concentrations can form explosive mixtures with air. Water Reactive. Material will react with water and may release a flammable and/or toxic gas. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. Flammable solid. May burn with intense heat.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT use water directly on fire. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use dry sand, Met-L-X powder, or G-1 graphite powder. Do NOT use water, carbon dioxide, or foam. Confining and smothering is preferable to applying water.
