Material Safety Data Sheet—Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose

Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Antidote: No specific antidote exists.

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. Dusts at sufficient concentrations

can form explosive mixtures with air. Combustion

generates toxic fumes.

Extinguishing Media: For small fires, use water spray, dry chemical,

carbon dioxide or chemical foam.

6, ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as

indicated in Section 8.

Spills/Leaks: Sweep up, then place into a suitable container for disposal.

Avoid generating dusty conditions.

7, HANDLING & STORAGE

Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated

clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation.

Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes,

skin, and clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible

substances.

8,EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Engineering Controls: Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne

concentrations low.

Exposure Limits PATICULATE: If used under conditions that generate

particulates,the ACGIH TLV-TWA of 3 mg/m3 respirable

fraction(10 mg/m3 total)should be observed.

OSHA Vacated PELs: METHYL CELLULOSE: No OSHA Vacated

PELs are listed for this chemical.

Personal Protective Equipment

Eyes: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles

as described by OSHA's eye and face protection

regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166. Skin:
