Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. Seek medical attention if breathing problems develop. Skin Contact: In case of skin contact, immediately remove contaminated clothing and wash affected areas with water and soap. Seek medical attention if irritation occurs. Eye Contact: In case of eye contact, rinse continuously with water, including under eyelids. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists. Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Immediately rinse mouth with water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek medical attention if feeling unwell. Inhalation: May cause irritation of the respiratory tract. Skin: Contact may result in irritation, redness, rash and dermatitis. Eye: Contact may result in irritation, lacrimation, pain and redness. Ingestion: May be harmful and result in gastric disturbance such as nausea and vomiting if ingested in large quantities.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use fire extinguishing methods suitable to surrounding conditions. Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical: May evolve ammonia and nitrogen oxides when heated to decomposition. Product is not flammable. Containers close to fire should be removed if only safe to do so. Use water fog to cool intact containers and nearby storage areas. Minimise run-off from firefighting entering drains and water courses. Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Fire Fighters: When fighting a major fire wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective equipment. Toxic gases may be evolved in a fire situation.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures: Wear protective equipment. Keep unprotected persons away. Contact emergency services where appropriate. Environmental precautions: In the event of a major spill, prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses. Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up: Stop leak if safe to do so and sweep granules into a pile and shovel into drums for subsequent disposal if contaminated or return to original stockpile if not contaminated. Avoid generating dust. Provide adequate ventilation. Decontaminate spill area with detergent and water.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Precautions for Safe Handling: Use of safe work practices are recommended to avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation of dust. Food, beverages and tobacco products should not be stored or consumed where this material is in use. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storage or re-use. Provide eye wash fountains and safety showers in close proximity to points of potential exposure. Conditions for Safe Storage: Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed when not in use.

No specific exposure standards are available for this product.
| Exposure Standards: | |
|---|---|
| Nuisance dust | |
| WES | TWA: 10 mg/m³ |
Personal Protection: The following Australian Standards will provide general advice regarding safety clothing and equipment: Respiratory equipment: AS/NZS 1715 and 1716, Protective Gloves: AS 2161, Occupational Protective Clothing: AS/NZS 4501, Industrial Eye Protection: AS/NZS 1337. Engineering Controls: Natural ventilation should be adequate under conditions of normal use. Respirator Protection: Where an inhalation risk exists, at low dust levels, wear a dust mask. At high nuisance dust levels and ventilation is inadequate, wear an approved particulate respirator (filter type P), either full-face-piece or half mask plus goggles. See above AS/NZS standards for more information. Skin Protection: Skin protection is not required under normal use conditions. For prolonged or repeated contact, use protective gloves. See above AS/NZS standards for more information. When selecting gloves for use against certain chemicals, the degradation resistance, permeation rate and permeation breakthrough time should be considered. Occupational protective clothing (depending on conditions in which it has to be used, in particular as regards the period for which it is worn, which shall be determined on the basis of the seriousness of the risk, the frequency of exposure to the risk, the characteristics of the workstation of each worker and the performance of the protective clothing). See above AS/NZS standards for more information. Eye and Face Protection: Eye and face protectors against splashing materials or liquids. See above AS/NZS standards for more information.
