Potential Health Effects 
Inhalation: Not expected to be a health hazard.
Ingestion: Extremely large oral dosages may produce gastrointestinal disturbances.

Eye Contact: No adverse effects expected but dust may cause mechanical irritation.  

4. First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Not expected to require first aid measures.
Ingestion: Not expected to require first aid measures.
Skin Contact: Not expected to require first aid measures.
Eye Contact: Wash thoroughly with running water. Get medical advice if irritation develops.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

Fire: Not considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion: This material in sufficient quantity and reduced particle size is capable of creating a dust explosion
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire.
Special Information: Wear full protective clothing and breathing equipment for high-in

tensity fire or potential explosion conditions.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Clean up spills in a manner that does not disperse dust into the air. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Reduce airborne dust and prevent scattering by moistening with water. Pick up spill for recovery or disposal and place in a closed container. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Sweep up and containerize for reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or wet sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal.

7. Handling and Storage

Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Isolate from incompatible substances. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Airborne Exposure Limits: None established.
Ventilation System: In general, dilution ventilation is a satisfactory health hazard control for this substance. However, if conditions of use create discomfort to the worker, a local exhaust system should be considered. Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): 
For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection: 
Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: 
Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
