2.   HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview:
Repeated or prolonged exposure may irritate eyes, skin and respiratory system. The product gets hot as it first adsorbs 
water.
 
 
Form: Spheres
 
Color: White
 
Potential Health Effects: 
 
 
Primary Routes of Exposure: Contact with skin and eyes. Exposure may also occur via inhalation or ingestion if 
product dust is generated.
 
 
Eye Contact: Dust and /or product may cause eye discomfort and/or irritation seen as tearing and reddening.
 
 
Skin Contact: Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause skin irritation.
 
 
Ingestion: The product is considered to have a low order of oral toxicity.
 
 
Inhalation: Exposure to dust particles generated from this material may cause irritation of the respiratory tract. 
Irritation may be accompanied by coughing and chest discomfort.
 
 
Chronic Effects: Prolonged or repeated inhalation of dust generated from this material may cause lung injury.

4.   FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye contact: Flush immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If eye irritation persists, consult a physician.
 
Skin contact: Wash off with soap and plenty of water. If skin irritation persists, call a physician.
 
After inhalation: Remove the victim into fresh air. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
 
After ingestion: Drink at least 2 glasses of water. Obtain medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an 
unconscious person.
 
Notes to physician: The used product can retain material of a hazardous nature. Identify that material and treat 
symptomatically.
  
5.   FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media: Non-combustible.  Use extinguishing media for surrounding fire.
 
Unsuitable extinguishing media: N.A.
 
Fire and explosion hazards: The product itself does not burn. The used product can retain material of a hazardous 
nature. Identify that material and inform the fire fighters. 
 
Special protective equipment: In the case of respirable dust and/or fumes, use self-contained breathing apparatus and 
dust impervious protective suit.
 
Flash Point: N.A.
  
6.   ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal protection: See Section 8. 
 
Environmental precautions: No special environmental precautions required.
 
Clean-up: Sweep, shovel or vacuum spilled product into appropriate containers (do not use a vacuum if material has 
contacted a hydrocarbon material). Pick-up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Never use spilled product. 
Spilled product should be disposed of in accordance with all applicable government regulations.
 
7.   HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Handle and open container with care. Avoid formation of dust particles. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. 
Provide an electrical ground connection during loading and transfer operations to avoid static discharge in an explosive 
atmosphere and to prevent persons handling the product from receiving static shocks.
 
Storage: Store in original container. Keep in a dry place.

8.   EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering measures: Where natural ventilation is inadequate, especially in confined areas, use mechanical ventilation, 
other engineering controls or respiratory protection to prevent inhalation of product dust.
 
Personal protection equipment: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
 
 
Eye protection: Safety glasses or goggles.
 
 
Hand protection: Protective gloves.
 
 
Skin and body protection: Work uniform and gloves to prevent prolonged contact.
 
 
Respiratory protection: In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.  Air-purifying 
respirator with NIOSH classification N-95 filter or P-95 (or equivalent) if oil/liquid aerosols are present (42 CFR 84).

10.   STABILITY
Stability: Stable.
 
Hazardous decomposition products: No decomposition if used as directed. Hydrocarbons and other materials that 
contact the product during normal use can be retained on the product. It is reasonable to expect that decomposition 
products will come from these retained materials of use. If the product is subject to extreme temperatures or chemical 
conditions, decomposition may occur and the product will include the oxides shown in Section 2.
 
Conditions/Materials to avoid: Reacts violently with chlorine trifluoride, producing flames.  May cause ethylene oxide to 
polymerize violently, releasing heat.
