4. FIRST AID: Eyes: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for 15 min. and seek medical advice. Skin:. Rinse with plenty of soap & water and seek medical advice. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Rinse with water. Consult physician. Inhalation: Move to fresh air.  Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively. 

5. FIRE FIGHTING: Info: Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand. MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Dusts at sufficient concentrations can form explosive mixtures with air. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Special Hazards: Carbon oxides. Extinguishing: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or alcohol-resistant foam. 

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE: Info: Use proper PPE as indicated in Section 8. Spills/Leaks: Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.  

7. HANDLING & STORAGE: Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Storage: Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. 

8. EXPOSURE / PPE: Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
