Revision date : 12.05.2010 Version: 1.1 Page: 2/6 (30487108/SDU_GEN_CA/EN) Inhalation: Remove to fresh air, if not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen and get immediate medical attention. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs naturally, have casualty lean forward to reduce the risk of aspiration. Seek medical attention immediately.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Fire Fighting Measures: Standard procedure for chemical fires. The product becomes slippery when wet. Restrict pedestrian and vehicular traffic in areas where slip hazard may exist. Suitable Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical or foam.

Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: If water is used, restrict pedestrian and vehicular traffic in areas where slip hazard may exist. Fire Fighting Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

Unusual hazards: 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. Hazardous Combustion Products: Burning may produce oxides of carbon, nitrogen.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Cleanup Instructions: Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal. Avoid dust formation. Wear suitable protective equipment. Should not be released into the environment.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling: As with all industrial chemicals, use good industrial practices when handling. Avoid eye, skin, and clothing contact. Do not inhale. Do not taste or swallow. Use only with adequate ventilation. Storage: Explosion Hazards: mixture forms. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Avoid creating dusty conditions. Risk of explosion if an air-dust For Industrial Use Only

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Exposure Guidelines: There are no OSHA or ACGIH exposure guidelines available for component(s) in this product. Personal Protective Equipment Eye/Face Protection: Skin Protection: Wear safety glasses or goggles to protect against dust particles. Wear chemical resistant gloves and protective clothing.
