RINSE FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INHALATION:
REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR AND KEEP AT REST IN A POSITION COMFORTABLE FOR
BREATHING. IF NOT BREATHING, IF BREATHING IS IRREGULAR OR IF RESPIRATORY
ARREST OCCURS, PROVIDE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION OR OXYGEN BY TRAINED
PERSONNEL. IT MAY BE DANGEROUS TO THE PERSON PROVIDING AID TO GIVE
MOUTH-TO-MOUTH RESUSCITATION. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. IF UNCONSCIOUS, PLACE
IN RECOVERY POSITION AND GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. MAINTAIN AN
OPEN AIRWAY. LOOSEN TIGHT CLOTHING SUCH AS A COLLAR, TIE, BELT OR

FLUSH CONTAMINATED SKIN WITH PLENTY OF WATER. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING
AND SHOES. WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING THOROUGHLY WITH WATER BEFORE REMOVING
IT, OR WEAR GLOVES. CONTINUE TO RINSE FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES. GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION. WASH CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE. CLEAN SHOES THOROUGHLY BEFORE REUSE.
INGESTION:
WASH OUT MOUTH WITH WATER. REMOVE DENTURES IF ANY. REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH
AIR AND KEEP AT REST IN A POSITION COMFORTABLE FOR BREATHING. IF MATERIAL
HAS BEEN SWALLOWED AND THE EXPOSED PERSON IS CONSCIOUS, GIVE SMALL
QUANTITIES OF WATER TO DRINK. STOP IF THE EXPOSED PERSON FEELS SICK AS
VOMITING MAY BE DANGEROUS. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING UNLESS DIRECTED TO DO SO
BY MEDICAL PERSONNEL. IF VOMITING OCCURS, THE HEAD SHOULD BE KEPT LOW SO
THAT VOMIT DOES NOT ENTER THE LUNGS. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. NEVER GIVE
ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. IF UNCONSCIOUS, PLACE IN

ANY INFORMATION IN SECTION 8 ON SUITABLE AND UNSUITABLE MATERIALS. SEE ALSO
THE INFORMATION IN "FOR NON-EMERGENCY PERSONNEL".
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:
AVOID DISPERSAL OF SPILLED MATERIAL AND RUNOFF AND CONTACT WITH SOIL,
WATERWAYS, DRAINS AND SEWERS. INFORM THE RELEVANT AUTHORITIES IF THE
PRODUCT HAS CAUSED ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (SEWERS, WATERWAYS, SOIL OR
AIR).
METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEANING UP:
SMALL SPILL:
MOVE CONTAINERS FROM SPILL AREA. USE SPARK-PROOF TOOLS AND EXPLOSION-PROOF
EQUIPMENT. AVOID DUST GENERATION. DO NOT DRY SWEEP. VACUUM DUST WITH
EQUIPMENT FITTED WITH A HEPA FILTER AND PLACE IN A CLOSED, LABELED WASTE
CONTAINER. PLACE SPILLED MATERIAL IN A DESIGNATED, LABELED WASTE CONTAINER.
DISPOSE OF VIA A LICENSED WASTE DISPOSAL CONTRACTOR.
LARGE SPILL:
MOVE CONTAINERS FROM SPILL AREA. USE SPARK-PROOF TOOLS AND EXPLOSION-PROOF
EQUIPMENT. APPROACH RELEASE FROM UPWIND. PREVENT ENTRY INTO SEWERS, WATER
COURSES, BASEMENTS OR CONFINED AREAS. AVOID DUST GENERATION. DO NOT DRY
SWEEP. VACUUM DUST WITH EQUIPMENT FITTED WITH A HEPA FILTER AND PLACE IN A
CLOSED, LABELED WASTE CONTAINER. AVOID CREATING DUSTY CONDITIONS AND
PREVENT WIND DISPERSAL. DISPOSE OF VIA A LICENSED WASTE DISPOSAL
CONTRACTOR.
NOTE:
SEE SECTION 1 FOR EMERGENCY CONTACT INFORMATION AND SECTION 13 FOR WASTE
DISPOSAL.
| SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING:
PROTECTIVE MEASURES:
PUT ON APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (SEE SECTION 8). AVOID
EXPOSURE - OBTAIN SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE. DO NOT HANDLE UNTIL ALL
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS HAVE BEEN READ AND UNDERSTOOD. DO NOT GET IN EYES OR ON
SKIN OR CLOTHING. DO NOT INGEST. AVOID BREATHING DUST. AVOID THE CREATION
OF DUST WHEN HANDLING AND AVOID ALL POSSIBLE SOURCES OF IGNITION (SPARK OR

APPROPRIATE RESPIRATOR WHEN VENTILATION IS INADEQUATE. KEEP IN THE ORIGINAL
CONTAINER OR AN APPROVED ALTERNATIVE MADE FROM A COMPATIBLE MATERIAL, KEPT
TIGHTLY CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE. ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AND LIGHTING SHOULD BE
PROTECTED TO APPROPRIATE STANDARDS TO PREVENT DUST COMING INTO CONTACT WITH
HOT SURFACES, SPARKS OR OTHER IGNITION SOURCES. TAKE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
AGAINST ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGES. TO AVOID FIRE OR EXPLOSION, DISSIPATE
STATIC ELECTRICITY DURING TRANSFER BY GROUNDING AND BONDING CONTAINERS AND
EQUIPMENT BEFORE TRANSFERRING MATERIAL. EMPTY CONTAINERS RETAIN PRODUCT
RESIDUE AND CAN BE HAZARDOUS. DO NOT REUSE CONTAINER.
ADVICE ON GENERAL OCCUPATIONAL HYGIENE:
EATING, DRINKING AND SMOKING SHOULD BE PROHIBITED IN AREAS WHERE THIS
MATERIAL IS HANDLED, STORED AND PROCESSED. WORKERS SHOULD WASH HANDS AND
FACE BEFORE EATING, DRINKING AND SMOKING. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT BEFORE ENTERING EATING AREAS. SEE ALSO SECTION 8 FOR
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON HYGIENE MEASURES.
CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE, INCLUDING ANY INCOMPATIBILITIES:
STORE IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL REGULATIONS. STORE IN A SEGREGATED AND
APPROVED AREA. STORE IN ORIGINAL CONTAINER PROTECTED FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT
IN A DRY, COOL AND WELL-VENTILATED AREA, AWAY FROM INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS
(SEE SECTION 10) AND FOOD AND DRINK. STORE LOCKED UP. ELIMINATE ALL
IGNITION SOURCES. SEPARATE FROM OXIDIZING MATERIALS. KEEP CONTAINER TIGHTLY
CLOSED AND SEALED UNTIL READY FOR USE. CONTAINERS THAT HAVE BEEN OPENED
MUST BE CAREFULLY RESEALED AND KEPT UPRIGHT TO PREVENT LEAKAGE. DO NOT
STORE IN UNLABELED CONTAINERS. USE APPROPRIATE CONTAINMENT TO AVOID
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION.
| SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
CONTROL PARAMETERS:
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS:
CALCIUM CARBONATE
CRYSTALLINE SILICA, NON-RESPIRABLE
APPROPRIATE ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. IF USER OPERATIONS GENERATE DUST,
FUMES, GAS, VAPOR OR MIST, USE PROCESS ENCLOSURES, LOCAL EXHAUST
VENTILATION OR OTHER ENGINEERING CONTROLS TO KEEP WORKER EXPOSURE TO
AIRBORNE CONTAMINANTS BELOW ANY RECOMMENDED OR STATUTORY LIMITS. THE
ENGINEERING CONTROLS ALSO NEED TO KEEP GAS, VAPOR OR DUST CONCENTRATIONS
BELOW ANY LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMITS. USE EXPLOSION-PROOF VENTILATION
EQUIPMENT.
ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE CONTROLS:
EMISSIONS FROM VENTILATION OR WORK PROCESS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE CHECKED TO
ENSURE THEY COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
LEGISLATION. IN SOME CASES, FUME SCRUBBERS, FILTERS OR ENGINEERING
MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROCESS EQUIPMENT WILL BE NECESSARY TO REDUCE
EMISSIONS TO ACCEPTABLE LEVELS.
INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION MEASURES:
HYGIENE MEASURES:
WASH HANDS, FOREARMS AND FACE THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING CHEMICAL PRODUCTS,
BEFORE EATING, SMOKING AND USING THE LAVATORY AND AT THE END OF THE WORKING
PERIOD. APPROPRIATE TECHNIQUES SHOULD BE USED TO REMOVE POTENTIALLY
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSING. ENSURE
THAT EYEWASH STATIONS AND SAFETY SHOWERS ARE CLOSE TO THE WORKSTATION
LOCATION.
EYE/FACE PROTECTION:
SAFETY EYEWEAR COMPLYING WITH AN APPROVED STANDARD SHOULD BE USED WHEN A
RISK ASSESSMENT INDICATES THIS IS NECESSARY TO AVOID EXPOSURE TO LIQUID
SPLASHES, MISTS, GASES OR DUSTS. IF CONTACT IS POSSIBLE, THE FOLLOWING
PROTECTION SHOULD BE WORN, UNLESS THE ASSESSMENT INDICATES A HIGHER DEGREE
OF PROTECTION:
CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES. IF OPERATING CONDITIONS CAUSE HIGH DUST
CONCENTRATIONS TO BE PRODUCED, USE DUST GOGGLES.
SKIN PROTECTION:
HAND PROTECTION:
CHEMICAL-RESISTANT, IMPERVIOUS GLOVES COMPLYING WITH AN APPROVED STANDARD
SHOULD BE WORN AT ALL TIMES WHEN HANDLING CHEMICAL PRODUCTS IF A RISK
ASSESSMENT INDICATES THIS IS NECESSARY. CONSIDERING THE PARAMETERS
SPECIFIED BY THE GLOVE MANUFACTURER, CHECK DURING USE THAT THE GLOVES ARE
STILL RETAINING THEIR PROTECTIVE PROPERTIES. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE
TIME TO BREAKTHROUGH FOR ANY GLOVE MATERIAL MAY BE DIFFERENT FOR DIFFERENT
GLOVE MANUFACTURERS. IN THE CASE OF MIXTURES, CONSISTING OF SEVERAL
SUBSTANCES, THE PROTECTION TIME OF THE GLOVES CANNOT BE ACCURATELY
ESTIMATED.
BODY PROTECTION:
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR THE BODY SHOULD BE SELECTED BASED ON THE
TASK BEING PERFORMED AND THE RISKS INVOLVED AND SHOULD BE APPROVED BY A
SPECIALIST BEFORE HANDLING THIS PRODUCT.
OTHER SKIN PROTECTION:
APPROPRIATE FOOTWEAR AND ANY ADDITIONAL SKIN PROTECTION MEASURES SHOULD BE
SELECTED BASED ON THE TASK BEING PERFORMED AND THE RISKS INVOLVED AND
SHOULD BE APPROVED BY A SPECIALIST BEFORE HANDLING THIS PRODUCT.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
BASED ON THE HAZARD AND POTENTIAL FOR EXPOSURE, SELECT A RESPIRATOR THAT
MEETS THE APPROPRIATE STANDARD OR CERTIFICATION. RESPIRATORS MUST BE USED
ACCORDING TO A RESPIRATORY PROTECTION PROGRAM TO ENSURE PROPER FITTING,
TRAINING, AND OTHER IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF USE.
