Unless otherwise noted, all PEL and TLV values are reported as 8 hour time weighted averages (TWA). SECTION 3: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION LITTLE OR NO IMMEDIATE HAZARD- potential formation of explosive air/dust cloud with confinement, pressure and ignition source SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES Inhalation..........If discomfort develops, remove from exposure, to fresh air. Seek medical attention if symptoms worsen or persist. A NIOSH N-95 approved respirator is recommended whenever dusty, powder situations are encountered. Eye Contact......If discomfort develops, flush eyes with water for 15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower eyelids. Seek medical attention if necessary. Safety eyewear is recommended whenever dusty, powder situations are encountered. Skin Contact.....If discomfort develops, wash with soap and water if irritation develops. Product may have an abrasive action. Ingestion...........If discomfort develops when ingested, do not induce vomiting. If conscious, drink two
glasses of water. Seek medical attention if necessary. SECTION 5: FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA Flash Point (Method Used): Ignition Temp, 716°F (380°C) Flammable Limits (LEL): 0.04 oz/ft3 Extinguishing Media: Water, foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical extinguishers. Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Starch Dust in high concentration is an explosive hazard. Avoid excessive dusting, open flames, open lights, or welding in area of dry product if bag dumping. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: When suspended in air and exposed to open flame or spark, may ignite and burn explosively. EXCEPTION: Periwinkle and Purple may release trace amounts of sulphur dioxide gas under extreme combustion conditions. SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Proper respiratory and personal protective equipment may be required. Vacuum, sweep or scoop spilled materials into containers for reclaiming or disposal. It is the user's responsibility to obey local, state and federal regulations of proper disposal. Spilled materials may become slippery when wet. Care should be exercised when walking on spills on floors or concrete pads. SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAG E Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Sweep up, avoiding production of dust and/or flush with water (though not hazardous avoid excessive contamination of storm sewer or waterway) Use only explosion proof vacuum and avoid production of dust. Materials should be placed in DOT approved containers. Follow all legislative requirements for non-hazardous waste disposal. Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing: Best storage is realized under dry, cool, odor-free conditions. Store away from heat source. Do not expose to open flame or sparks. Practice good housekeeping. SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS- PERSONAL PROTECTION Control Parameters...........Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low. Personal Protective Equipment Respiratory .............NTOSH N-95 respirator is recommended if excessive dust is generated Eye Contact.. ..........Proper glasses/goggles recommended, as with any dusty powder product Skin/hands...............None required, rubber gloves may be used under prolong exposure. Existing wounds or conditions may become irritated.
