2. Hazards Identification Emergency overview

Signal word: Colour: Appearance: State of matter: Odour: Health: Physical/Chemical hazards:

CAUTION: ! off-white beads solid mild This product has no known adverse effect on human health. Refer to MSDS Section 7 for Dust Explosion information.

Potential health effects

Primary routes of entry: Ingestion, Skin, Inhalation, Eyes Chronic exposure: Eye contact may cause slight irritation and/or redness. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause slight skin irritation. Inhaled dust may cause respiratory irritation.

3. Composition/Information on Ingredients

This material does not contain any hazardous components that are reportable according to WHMIS criteria.

4. First-aid Measures Inhalation:



Remove to fresh air, if not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen and get immediate medical attention. Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected skin with soap and plenty of water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Eyes: Immediately flush the eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water for 15 minutes or until the chemical is removed. Get immediate medical attention if irritation persists. 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 Suitable extinguishing media: carbon dioxide Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: If water is used, restrict pedestrian and vehicular traffic in areas where slip hazard may exist. Hazardous combustion products: Carbon and nitrogen oxides. Hazards during fire-fighting: 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. The product becomes slippery when wet. Restrict pedestrian and vehicular traffic in areas where slip hazard may exist. Protective equipment for fire-fighting: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.

6. Accidental Release Measures Cleanup: Scoop into marked containers for disposal as chemical waste. Avoid raising dust. Wear suitable protective equipment. Should not be released into the environment.

7. Handling and Storage Handling

General advice: 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. Protection against fire and explosion: Combustible powder. - Avoid creating dusty conditions. - Grounding is required when emptying into a conductive container. - When flammable solvents are present, the container must be inerted or the system



otherwise designed 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 in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Avoid wet, damp or humid conditions, temperature extremes and ignition sources. Avoid buildup of dust. > for industrial use only <

8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection Engineering Controls: Work in well ventilated areas. Do not breathe dust. Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection: Use NIOSH approved respirator as needed to mitigate exposure. Eye protection: Wear safety goggles (chemical goggles) if there is potential for airborne dust exposures. Body protection: Wear chemical resistant gloves and protective clothing. General safety and hygiene measures: There are no OSHA or ACGIH exposure guidelines available for component(s) in this product., Eye wash station and safety shower should be available in immediate work area., Select additional protective equipment based upon potential for exposure.
