3. Hazard Identification
- Warning: can cause eye irritation, dry skin, or discomfort if inhaled
- Ensure adequate ventilation; avoid static discharge
4. First-Aid Measures
- Eye contact:
- Skin contact:
- Ingestion:
- Inhalation:
5. Fire-Fighting Measures
- Not applicable, non-combustible
6. Accidental Release Measures
- Wear suitable protective clothing, eye/face protection, and an approved dust mask if dust is generated
- Contain spillages; dampening with water reduces dust; sweep or preferably vacuum up and collect in suitable containers for recovery or disposal
7. Handling & Storage
- Avoid generating dust
- Mechanical handling can build up considerable static charge — a hazard in atmospheres containing flammable vapours
- Storage:
