Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS: EYES, SKIN, RESPIRATORY
& GI TRACTS. ACUTE- MAY CAUSE SEVERE EYE IRRITATION OR EVEN BURNS
FROM HEAT OF HYDROLYSIS. SOLID MAY CAUSE MILD SKIN IRRITATION;
STRONG SOLUTIONS OR SOLID IN CO NTACT WITH MOIST MAY CAUSE SEVERE
IRRITATION, EVEN BURNS. LOW TOXICITY MATERIAL BUT INGESTION MAY
CAUSE SERIOUS IRRITATION OF THE MUCOUS MEMBRANE DUE TO HEAT OF
HYDROLYSIS. LARGE AMOUNTS CAN CAUSE GA STROINTESTINAL UPSET,
VOMITING, ABDOMINAL PAIN. INHALATION OF GRANULAR MATERIAL DOES NOT
POSE A SIGNIFICANT INHALATION HAZARD, BUT INHALATION OF DUST MAY
CAUSE IRRITATION TO THE RESPIRATORY TRACT. CHR ONIC- UNKNOWN.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:COUGHING, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, VOMITING,
ABDOMINAL PAIN, SEVERE IRRITATION, BURNS, PAIN

First Aid:OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION. INHALED: MOVE TO VENTILATED AREA.
IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS
DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. EYES: WASH WITH COPIOUS QUANTITIES OF
WATER FOR 15 M INUTES. SKIN: REMOVE EXCESS. FLUSH SKIN WITH LARGE
AMOUNT OF RUNNING WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. INGESTION: WASH OUT MOUTH
WITH RUNNING WATER. INDUCE VOMITING IMMEDIATELY AS DIRECTED BY
MEDICAL PERSONNEL. N EVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS
PERSON.

Flash Point:NONE
Autoignition Temp:Autoignition Temp Text:NONE
Extinguishing Media:USE ANY MEANS SUITABLE FOR EXTINGUISHING
SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING AND NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH
FULL FACEPIECE OPERATED IN POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NOT CONSIDERED TO BE AN EXPLOSION HAZARD.

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE AREA OF LEAK OR SPILL. WEAR
APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 8
(EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION). SWEEP UP AND CONTAINERIZE
FOR RECLAMATION OR DISPOSAL . VACUUMING OR WET SWEEPING MAY BE
AVOID DUST DISPERSAL. SMALL AMOUNTS OF RESIDUE MAY BE FLUSHED TO
SEWER WITH PLENTY OF WATER.

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP IN A TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINER,
STORED IN A COOL, DRY, VENTILATED AREA. PROTECT AGAINST PHYSICAL
DAMAGE. MOIST CALCIUM CHLORIDE AND CONCENTRATED SOLUTIONS CAN
CORRODE STEEL WHEN EXPOSED TO THE ATM OSPHERE, CALCIUM CHLORIDE
WILL ABSORB WATER AND FORM A SOLUTION. SEE OTHER PRECAUTIONS.
Other Precautions:DISPOSE OF CONTAINER AND UNUSED CONTENTS IN
ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REQUIREMENTS. CONTAINERS
OF THIS MATERIAL MAY BE HAZARDOUS WHEN EMPTY SINCE THEY RETAIN
PRODUCT RESIUDES (DUST, SOL IDS); OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS AND
PRECAUTIONS LISTED FOR THE PRODUCT.

Respiratory Protection:NIOSH APPROVED: FOR CONDITIONS OF USE WHERE
EXPOSURE TO THE DUST OR MIST IS APPARENT, A HALF-FACE DUST/MIST
RESPIRATOR MAY BE WORN. FOR EMERGENCIES OR INSTANCES WHERE THE
EXPOSURE LEVELS ARE NOT KNOWN , USE A FULL-FACE POSITIVE-PRESSURE,
AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR. WARNING: AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRAORS DO NOT
PROTECT WORKERS IN OXYGEN-DEFICIENT ATMOSPHERES.
Ventilation:A SYSTEM OF LOCAL AND/OR GENERAL EXHAUST IS RECOMMENDED TO
KEEP EMPLOYEE EXPOSURES AS LOW AS POSSIBLE. LOCAL EXHAUST
VENTILATION IS GENERALLY (SEE SUPPL.)
Protective Gloves:WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND CLEAN BODY-COVERING
CLOTHING.
Eye Protection:USE CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES AND/OR FULL FACE SHIELD
WHERE DUSTING OR SPLASING
Other Protective Equipment:MAINTAIN GOOD HOUSEKEEPING IN WORK AREA.
DUST DEPOSITS ON FLOORS AND OTHER SURFACES MAY PICK UP MOISTURE AND
CAUSE THE SURFACES TO BECOME SLIPPERY AND PRESENT SAFETY HAZARDS.
Supplemental Safety and Health
LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION IS GENERALLY PREFERRED BECAUSE IT CAN CONTROL
THE EMISSION OF THE CONTAMINANT AT ITS SOURCE, PREVENTING
DISPERSION OF IT INTO THE GENERAL WORK AREA.
