Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

Appearance: very slightly yellow. Caution! May be harmful if swallowed. May cause eye and skin irritation. May cause digestive tract irritation. Light sensitive. Moisture sensitive.
Target Organs: None.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: Dust may cause mechanical irritation. Low hazard for normal industrial handling.
Skin: Dust may cause mechanical irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. Low hazard for usual industrial handling.
Ingestion: May cause irritation of the digestive tract.
Inhalation: No hazard expected in normal industrial use. Dust is irritating to the respiratory tract.
Chronic: Not available. Prolonged or repeated contact may result in "vanillism", an allergic dermatitis.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures


Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin: Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing before reuse. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water.
Ingestion: If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Get medical aid if irritation or symptoms occur.
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 if cough or other symptoms appear.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures


General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear.
