EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white to off-white solid. Warning! May cause allergic respiratory reaction. May cause
allergic skin reaction. Sensitizer. May cause eye and skin irritation. May cause respiratory and digestive
tract irritation.
Target Organs: Respiratory system, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye: May cause eye irritation.
Skin: May cause skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes
evident upon re-exposure to this material.
Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause serious
or fatal hypersensitivity (anaphylactic) reactions in some individuals.
Inhalation: May cause allergic respiratory reaction. May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic: May cause reproductive and fetal effects.
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper
and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical
device such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand,
MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic
gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
