APPEARANCE AND ODOR: WHITE FREE FLOWING GRANULAR POWDER WITH CITRUS ODOR.
STATEMENT OF HAZARDS: CONTACT MAY CAUSE EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
NOT FLAMMABLE IN NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES; HOWEVER, UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS IT
MAY DECOMPOSE TO GIVE OFF TOXIC GASES SUCH AS CARBON DIOXIDE, CARBON
MONOXIDE, AND VARIOUS HYDROCARBONS.
PRIMARY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE:
SKIN AND EYE CONTACT ARE THE PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE TO THIS PRODUCT.
SKIN CONTACT - ACUTE: SKIN CONTACT MAY CAUSE MILD IRRITATION.
EYE CONTACT - ACUTE: EYE CONTACT CAN CAUSE IRRITATION.
INHALATION - ACUTE:
THIS PRODUCT IS NOT LIKELY TO PRESENT AN INHALATION HAZARD AT NORMAL
TEMPERATURES; HOWEVER, THIS PRODUCT CAN BE STIRRED UP TO AN IRRITATING DUST
AND AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES VAPORS, MISTS OR FUMES CAN CAUSE IRRITATION TO
THE RESPIRATORY TRACT. INHALATION CAN CAUSE IRRITATION OF MUCOUS MEMBRANES.
INGESTION - ACUTE: INGESTION CAN CAUSE GASTROINTESTINAL IRRITATION.
| SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES | |
INHALATION FIRST AID:
INHALATION IS UNLIKELY; HOWEVER, IF IT DOES OCCUR, REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH
AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS
DIFFICULT, ADMINISTER OXYGEN. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
SKIN CONTACT FIRST AID:
WASH OFF WITH WATER. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
EYE CONTACT FIRST AID:
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES HOLDING
EYELIDS APART TO ENSURE FLUSHING OF ENTIRE EYE SURFACE. SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION.
INGESTION FIRST AID:
IF SWALLOWED, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. GIVE LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER. SEEK
MEDICAL ATTENTION.
