3. EMERGENCY & FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
EYES: Causes eye irritation. May cause slight eye irritation. Dusts may cause
severe irritation with corneal injury. Effects may be slow to heal. When
dissolving, the heat produced may cause more intense effects as well as
thermal burns. Irrigate with flowing water immediately and
continuously for 15 minutes. Consult medical personnel.
SKIN: Short single exposure not likely to cause significant skin irritation.
Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause skin irritation, even a burn.
May cause more severe response if skin is damp or if material is
confined to skin. May cause more severe response if skin is abraded
(scratched or cut). When dissolving, the heat produced may cause more
intense effects as well as thermal burns. Not classified as corrosive
according to DOT. A single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in
the material being absorbed through skin in harmful amounts. Wash off
in flowing water or shower.
INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be low. Small amounts
swallowed incidental to normal handling operations are not likely to
cause injury; swallowing amounts larger that that may cause injury.
Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation or ulceration. If
swallowed, seek medial attention. Do not induce vomiting unless
directed to do so by medical personnel.
INHALATION: Vapors are unlikely due to physical properties. Dust may cause irritation
to upper respiratory tract. Remove to fresh air if effects occur.
Consult a physician.
SYSTEMIC & OTHER EFFECTS: No relevant information found.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: If burn is present, treat as any thermal burn, after decontamination. No
specific antidote. Supportive care. Treatment based on judgment of the
physician in response to reactions of the patient.
