SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Primary Routes(s) Of Entry Eyes: Likely Inhalation: Likely Skin: Likely Ingestion: Likely Name (cont.) Eye Hazards Dust may cause mechanical irritation. Causes eye irritation. May cause permanent corneal opacification. May cause chemical conjunctivitis. Skin Hazards Irritation Ingestion Hazards May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause burns to the gastrointestinal tract. Does not cause serious toxic manifestations Inhalation Hazards Inhalation of dust may cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause acute pulmonary edema, asphyxia, chemical pneumonitis, and upper airway obstruction caused by edema. Chronic/Carcinogenicity Effects Effects may be delayed. Conditions Aggravated By Exposure Causes eye irritation. May cause respiratory and digestive tract irritation. May cause skin irritation. Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air). May cause irritation to the respiratory system. Maintain housekeeping and personal hygiene to minimize exposure and prevent sensitization. Conditions Aggravated By Overexposure To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, the physical, and toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated. First Aid (Pictograms)
