09. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID

INHALATION Remove victim to fresh air immediately. Obtain emergency medical attention if breathing difficulty persists beyond 15 minutes. EYE CONTACT In case of eye contact with this solid material, immediately rinse with clean water for 20-30 minutes. Retract eyelids often. Obtain emergency medical attention if pain, blinking, tears or redness persist. SKIN CONTACT Immediately remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with mild soap/water. Flush w/lukewarm water for 15 minutes. If sticky, use waterless cleaner first. Seek medical attention if ill effect or irritation develops. INGESTION If large quantity swallowed, give lukewarm water (pint) if victim completely conscious/alert. Do not induce vomiting/risk of damage to lungs exceeds poisoning risk. Obtain emergency medical attention. EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT PROCEDURES If eye pain, blinking, tears, or redness continue, patient should contact ophthalmologist.
10. SPILL AND DISPOSAL

PRECAUTIONS IF MATERIAL IS SPILLED OR RELEASED Released material poses a dust explosion hazard if it becomes airborne in the presence of an ignition source. Extinguish all ignition sources. On land sweep/shovel into suitable disposal containers or vacuum using equipment Date Printed: 01-17-2005 Page: 4 of 6

which avoids ignition risk. Avoid making dust. On water, contain/minimize dispersion/collect. Report per regulatory requirements. WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS This product is not listed as a hazardous waste. To the best of our knowledge, this product does not meet the criteria of a RCRA hazardous waste when discarded in its purchased form (see 40 CFR 261). However, under RCRA it is the responsibility of the user of a product to determine at the time of disposal whether the product meets any of the criteria of a hazardous waste. This is because the manner in which a product is used, processed, etc. may alter it so that it becomes a hazardous material. Comply with federal/state/local regulations for solid waste disposal. Incinerate or landfill solids at permitted sites. Use registered transporters.
11. ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS

HANDLING AND STORAGE PROCEDURES Store product in a dry, well ventilated area away from strong oxidizers. Store at temperatures below product's melting point. Keep product away from direct sunlight, heat, sparks, open flame, and other ignition sources. Keep containers tightly closed and prevent contamination with foreign materials. For optimum results, use within 6 months of receipt. This produc is not expected to present an explosion hazard during normal transportation and storage operations. However, when dispersed in air and subject to sufficient energy of ignition, it may pose a dust explosion hazard. Minimize the potential for dust explosion by eliminating/controlling ignition sources (bond and ground), and by using good housekeeping practices during storage, transfer, handling, and use to avoid excessive dust accumulation. Electrical equipment must be grounded and conform to the National Electric Code. In instances where this material is bulk conveyed, or where processing may result in a dusty atmosphere, refer to the latest edition of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 654 publication, "Standard for the Prevention of Fire & Dust Explosions in the Chemical, Dye, Pharmaceutical, and Plastics Industries" for complete discussion of dust explosion prevention and control measures. DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES Follow standard plant procedures or supervisor's instructions for decontamination operations.
