Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Contact may aggravate disorders of eyes, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and respiratory system. Section IV First Aid Measures Skin contact: Wash with mild soap and water. Remove severely contaminated clothing and clean before reuse. Seek medical attention in the event that irritation occurs. Eye contact: Flush thoroughly with large amounts of water. Seek medical attention if irritation persists. Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, give subject water to drink and do not induce vomiting. Seek medical help. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air and get medical help for any breathing difficulties. Section V Fire Fighting Measures Flammability: Non-Combustible Upper & Lowe Flammable Limit: Not Applicable Auto Ignition Temp: Not Determined Special Firefighting Procedures: Not Applicable Combustion Products: Not Applicable Sensitivity to Mechanical Flash Point: Not Applicable Impact/Static Discharge: Not Applicable Means of Extinction: Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding media Section VI Accidental Release & Disposal Measures Personal precautions: NIOSH approved dust respirator suggested. Approved dust respirators are required when dust exceeds recommended TLV. Safety glasses with side shields or goggles are suggested. Cloth, leather, rubber, or plastic gloves are recommended. Environmental precautions: Provide an adequate exhaust system that is filtered to avoid contaminating the environment, and that meets the TLV requirements in the work area.

Disposal

Vacuum or scoop up spilled material and dispose in an appropriate waste container. Misting with water or absorbent dust control products may help to keep airborne dust levels at a minimum. Provide proper ventilation and personal protection equipment for use during clean-up. Waste material can be buried in an approved landfill in accordance with Federal, State, and Local environmental regulations. According to 40 CFR, Part 261 of the Resource, Conservation, and Recovery Act (RCRA), this product is not classified as a hazardous material. Spill/leak procedure: Use proper protective equipment. Small spills: Use dry method to collect spilled materials. Avoid generation of dust. Do not clean up materials with compressed air. Store collected materials in dry, sealed plastic or metal containers. Residue on surfaces may be washed with water. Large spills: Use dry methods to collect spilled materials. Evacuate area downwind of clean-up operations to minimize dust exposure. Store spilled materials in dry, sealed plastic or metal containers. - 2 - Containment: For large spills, as much as possible, avoid the generation of dusts. Prevent release to sewers or waterways. Cleanup: Residual amounts of material can be flushed with large amounts of water. Equipment can be washed with water. Section VII Handling and Storage Handling: Keep in closed packages. Protect containers from physical damage.

Storage

Store in cool, dry, and well-ventilated location Section VIII Exposure Controls Engineering controls: Provide ventilation adequate to maintain PELs. Respiratory protection: Use N1OSH/MSHA approved respirators if airborne concentrations exceed PEL. Eye protection: Use safety glasses with side shields or safety goggles. Contact lenses should not be worn when working with lime products. Other: Eye wash fountain and emergency showers are recommended.
