Eye Contact Immediately flush with plenty of water for up to 15 mins.
Remove any contact lenses and open eyelids widely. If
irritation persists, seek medical attention promptly. Do not rub
eyes.
Skin Contact Promptly flush with plenty of water if molten chemical gets on
skin. Get medical attention immediately.
Inhalation If exposed to finely ground dust, move the exposed person to
fresh air at once. If breathing is difficult, properly trained
personel may assist affected person by administering
oxygen.Get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion Rinse mouth with water. Give the person one or two glasses of
water to drink.. After the liquid has been swallowed, try to
induce vomiting by having affected person touch back of the
throat with his finger. Get medical attention immediately.

Remove spillage with vacuum cleaner. If not possible, collect spillage with shovel, broom or the like. Transfer to a container for disposal.
6.4 Reference to other sections
No additional information available
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 Precautions for safe handling
When handling finely ground powder, ground all transfer, blending and dust collecting equipment to prevent static electricity and
formation of sparks. Remove all ignition sources from material handling, transfer and processing areas where dust may be present.
Mechanical and local exhaust ventilation should be provided in work areas. Do not use near open flame or areas where smoking is
permitted. If pellets are spilled on walking surfaces, beware of slippery surfaces. Work areas should be kept clean and pellet free.
