| [Fire Fighting] Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. This material in sufficient quantity and reduced particle size is capable of creating a dust explosion. To extinguish fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or alcohol-resistant foam. | |
| [Ingestion] Induce vomiting. Get medical aid. Wash mouth out with water. | |
| [Inhalation] Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. | |
| [Skin] Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. | |
| [Eyes] Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid. | |
| [Storage] Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a dry area. Refrigerator (approx 4 C). | |
| [Handling] Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. | |
| [Ingestion] Harmful if swallowed. May cause irritation of the digestive tract. | |
| [Inhalation] May cause respiratory tract irritation. May be harmful if inhaled. | |
| [Skin] May cause skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin. | |
| [Eyes] May cause eye irritation and possible damage. | |
