4. First-aid Measures
INGESTION:
If accidently swallowed, give large quantities of water or milk to dilute the effects on the stomach. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical advice.
INHALATION:
If inhalation causes adverse effects, remove to fresh air. If problem persists, seek medical advice.
SKIN CONTACT:
In case of contact, immediately flush with plenty of water.
EYE CONTACT:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.

5. Fire-fighting Measures
Will burn.  In common with most organic materials, a high dust concentration offers the potential for a dust explosion if an ignition source is present.  Static electricity should be considered a potential ignition source
In case of fire, use dry chemical, "alcohol" foam or carbon dioxide extinguishers. Water may be ineffective, but should be used to keep fire-exposed containers cool. For large fires, fire-fighters should wear full emergency protective equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus.

6. Accidental Release Measures
Always wear appropriate protective clothing (refer to "Section 8.2").  Sweep (scoop) up and remove to a chemical disposal area. Prevent from entering drains or watercourses; should this occur, the relevant Local Authority must be notified.

7. Handling and Storage
7.1. Handling
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices. Refer to Section 8 for appropriate personal protection equipment. Wash thoroughly after handling.

 

INHALATION:
Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of dust or vapour.
SKIN CONTACT:
Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin or clothing.
EYES:
Avoid contact with eyes.
Organic powders can be combustible under certain conditions. Consult US NFPA Standard 654, UK  HSE Guidance HSG 103 or other national guidance on safe handling of combustible dusts. The potential for  dust explosion exists when high concentrations of dust come into contact with an ignition source.  High dust concentrations should, therefore, be avoided, and where this is not possible, all sources of ignition should be excluded.  Good housekeeping is essential to avoid accumulation of dust on surfaces, as this can contribute to the hazard .  Static buildup and subsequent discharge can occur when handling flaked or powdered organic materials.  This can be a potential source of ignition.  Suitable precautions, such as earthing of all handling or processing equipment, must  be taken to avoid static build up.

 

7.2. Storage
Keep in tightly sealed containers and store in a cool dry place, avoiding exposure to heat, light, moisture and air.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

8.1. Exposure Controls
If airborne contaminants are generated when the material is heated or handled, sufficient ventilation in volume and air flow patterns should be provided to keep air contaminant concentrations below acceptable levels. Refer to Section 8.3 which details specific exposure limits where applicable.

8.2. Personal Protection
Where air contaminants can exceed acceptable criteria, use approved respiratory protection equipment. Respirators should be selected based on the form and concentration of contaminants in air. Use goggles if contact is likely. Wear impervious gloves as required to prevent skin contact.

8.3. Exposure Guidelines
- Kaolin 1332-58-7
VLEP   8-hr VME         10 ppm                       Time Weighted Average
- Aluminium Sulphate 10043-01-3
VLEP   8-hr VME         2 mg/m3          Soluble salt, as Al Time Weighted Average
