EFFECTS: Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Classified Reproductive system/toxin/female [POSSIBLE]. Repeated or prolonged exposure is not known to aggravate medical condition. Section IV. First Aid Measures Eye Contact
Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention if irritation occurs. Skin Contact
Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Cold water may be used. Inhalation
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention. Ingestion
Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Section V. Fire and Explosion Data Flash Points Flammable Limits
May be combustible at high temperature. Products of
These products are carbon oxides (CO, CO2), Halogenated compounds, phosphates. Some metallic oxides. Combustion Fire Hazards
Slightly flammable to flammable in presence of heat. Non-flammable in presence of shocks. As with most organic solids, fire is possible at elevated temperatures. Explosion Hazards
Slightly explosive in presence of open flames and sparks. Non-explosive in presence of shocks. Fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard. Fire Fighting Media
SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder. LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam. and Instructions Material Safety Data Sheet For Compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200 and ANSI Z400.1-1998 Extinguishing Media to Section VI. Accidental Release Measures Spill Cleanup

cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements. Large Spill: Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system. Section VII. Handling and Storage Handling and Storage
Storage: Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Do not store above 8 C
(46.4 F). Refrigerate. Precautions: Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust. Wear suitable protective clothing. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or label. Section VIII. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Personal Protection
