3. Composition / Information on Ingredients

Not WHMIS controlled.

4. First-Aid Measures
If inhaled: Fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If necessary, give oxygen. If breathing difficulties develop, aid in breathing and seek immediate medical attention. If on skin: After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. If irritation develops, seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. If in eyes: In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. If swallowed: Do not induce vomiting due to aspiration hazard. If vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to prevent aspiration. Obtain medical attention.

5. Fire-Fighting Measures
Flash point: Autoignition: 510 C not applicable BAM fluidized dust

Suitable extinguishing media: carbon dioxide, dry powder, foam Unsuitable extinguishing media for safety reasons: water Additional information: If water is used, restrict pedestrian and vehicular traffic in areas where slip hazard may exist. Hazards during fire-fighting: Cool containers exposed to fire with water. Decomposition, pressure build-up and bursting of containers may occur.

Cool containers exposed to fire with water. Decomposition, pressure build-up and bursting of containers may occur. carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides Standard procedure for chemical fires. Dust in sufficient concentration can result in an explosive mixture in air. Handle to minimize dusting and eliminate open flame and other sources of ignition. Protective equipment for fire-fighting: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.

6. Accidental release measures

Cleanup: Place into suitable container for disposal. Avoid raising dust. Wear suitable protective equipment. Avoid release to the environment.

7. Handling and Storage

Handling General advice: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid all sources of ignition: heat, sparks, open flame. Protection against fire and explosion: The product is combustible. Avoid dust formation. When flammable solvents are present, the container must be inerted or the system otherwise deisigned to prevent or contain an explosion. Seek expert advice. In addition, for products packaged in fused-lined (coated) fiber drums, fiber drums with conductive liners, steel drums, steel pails, and type ' c ' FIBC (bulk bags), or other conductive the following instructions also apply: - Always ground this package before emptying. The user is responsible for designing the system to handle solid and ensuring proper training of employees in the system's use. Storage General advice: Keep container tightly closed and dry; store in a cool place. Avoid all sources of ignition: heat, sparks, open flame. Temperature tolerance Not frost sensitive.

8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Advice on system design: Work in well ventilated areas. Do not breathe dust. Ensure good ventilation and local exhaust. Personal protective equipment Respiratory protection: Wear a NIOSH-certified (or equivalent) respirator as necessary. Eye protection: Wear safety goggles (chemical goggles) if there is potential for airborne dust exposures. Body protection: Wear chemical resistant gloves and protective clothing.
