4. First-aid Measures
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air, if not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen and get immediate medical attention. Skin: After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. Get medical attention if irritation occurs. If clothing is contaminated, remove and launder before reuse. Eyes: Immediately flush the eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water for 15 minutes or until the chemical is removed. Get immediate medical attention if irritation persists. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs naturally, have casualty lean forward to reduce the risk of aspiration. Seek medical attention immediately.

5. Fire-fighting Measures
Suitable extinguishing media: carbon dioxide, dry powder, foam Hazardous combustion products: Carbon and nitrogen oxides. Hazards during fire-fighting: Standard procedure for chemical fires. The product is slippery when wet. Restrict pedestrian and vehicular traffic in areas where slip hazard may exist. Dust in sufficient concentration can result in an explosive mixture in air. Handle to minimize dusting and eliminate open flame and other sources of ignition. Protective equipment for fire-fighting: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.

6. Accidental Release Measures


Cleanup: Wear suitable protective equipment. Product becomes slippery and difficult to handle when wet. Avoid raising dust. Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal. Should not be released into the environment. Clean up promptly.

7. Handling and Storage

MAGNAFLOC 156
Revision date : 12.05.2010 Version: 1.1 Page: 3/7 (30481338/SDU_GEN_CA/EN) As with all industrial chemicals, use good industrial practices when handling. Avoid eye, skin, and clothing contact. Do not inhale. Do not taste or swallow. Use only with adequate ventilation. Slip hazard when wet. Clean up spills promptly Protection against fire and explosion: Combustible powder. - Avoid creating dusty conditions. - Grounding is required when emptying into a conductive container. - When flammable solvents are present, the container must be inerted or the system otherwise designed to prevent or contain an explosion. Seek expert advice. In addition, for products packaged in fused-lined (coated) fiber drums, fiber drums with conductive liners, steel drums, steel pails, and Type " C " FIBC (bulk bags), or other conductive the following instructions also apply: - Always ground this package before emptying. The user is responsible for designing the system to handle solid and ensuring proper training of employees in the system's use.
Storage

General advice: Keep container tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Avoid wet, damp or humid conditions, temperature extremes and ignition sources. Avoid buildup of dust. > for industrial use only <

8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection


Engineering Controls: Ensure good ventilation and local exhaust. Work in well ventilated areas. Do not breathe dust.
Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection: Use NIOSH approved respirator as needed to mitigate exposure. Eye protection: Wear safety goggles (chemical goggles) if there is potential for airborne dust exposures. Body protection: Wear chemical resistant gloves and protective clothing. General safety and hygiene measures: There are no OSHA or ACGIH exposure guidelines available for component(s) in this product., Eye wash station and safety shower should be available in immediate work area.
