Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: DUST MAY BE HARMFUL AND
    IRRITATING. MAY BE HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. CHRONIC: ALLERGIC PERSONS
    MAY DEVELOP DERMATITIS AND ASTHMA.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE OF THE CHEMICAL IN THIS PRODUCT IS
    LIST BY IARC, NTP OR OSHA AS A CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:IRRITATION AND DERMATITIS
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:EYE-WASH THOROUGHLY WITH WATER. IF IRRITATION OCCURS AND
    PERSISTS, SEE AN OPHTHALMOLOGIST. SKIN-WASH THOROUGHLY WITH WATER.
    IF IRRITATION OCCURS AND PERSISTS, OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION.
    INHALE-REMOVE T O FRESH AIR. IF DISCOMFORT OCCURS AND PERSISTS
    OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGEST-DRINK PLENTY OF WATER. CALL
    PHYSICIAN.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:NONCOMBUSTIBLE
Extinguishing Media:DELUGE WITH WATER.
Fire Fighting Procedures:NONCOMBUSTIBLE-CONSIDER MATERIAL AS A STRONG
    OXIDIZER WITH ACIDIC MIST ALSO BEING PRESENT.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:DECOMPOSES WITH THE LIBERATION OF OXYGEN,
    PRESENCE OF MOISTURE ACCELERATES DECOMPOSITION.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:SPILL: MATERIAL SHOULD BE PUT INTO AN APPROVED
    DOT CONTAINER THE DILUTED WITH LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE (UNOPENED) IN A COOL, CLEAN, DRY
    PLACE. AWAY FROM ALL IGNITION SOURCES. USE FIRST IN FIRST OUT
    STORAGE SYSTEM. AVOID CONTAMINATION OF OPEN PRDCT
Other Precautions:AVOID PROLONGED OR REPEATED SKIN CONTACT. IN CASE OF
    FIRE OR DECOMPOSITION CONDITIONS (SMOKING) USE SCBA WITH FULL FACE
    PIECE, ACID RESISTANT CLOTHING AND DELUGE WITH PLENTY OF WATER TO
    CONTROL DECOMP OSITION.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:WEAR A NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR IF
    VENTILATION DOES NOT MAINTAIN INHALATION EXPOSURES BELOW PEL/TLV.
    WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IF REQUIRED FOR HIGH LEVELS
    OF CONTAMINATES.
Ventilation:MECHANICAL (GENERAL) VENTILATION IS REQUIRED. LOCAL EXHAUST
    RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN ENCLOSED AREAS.
Protective Gloves:NEOPRENE OR NATURAL RUBBER GLOVES
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES - CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH STATION AND SAFETY SHOWER.
