Limited evidence of a carcinogenic effect.

Potential Health Effects
     The toxicological properties of this material have not been
     investigated. Use appropriate procedures to prevent opportunities
     for direct contact with the skin or eyes and to prevent inhalation.

                    **** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****

     Eyes:
          Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
          occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid
          immediately.
     Skin:
          Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
          minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Remove
          contaminated clothing and shoes.
     Ingestion:
          If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
          Get medical aid immediately.
     Inhalation:
          Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
          air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
          breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
     Notes to Physician:

                  **** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****

          As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
          pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
          protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
          may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
     Extinguishing Media:
          Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire.

                **** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****

     General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
                          in Section 8.
     Spills/Leaks:
          Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
          Equipment section.

                   **** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****

     Handling:
          Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
          wash before reuse. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid

     Storage:
          Store in a cool, dry place.

          **** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****

     Engineering Controls:
          Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other
          engineering controls to control airborne levels.
     Personal Protective Equipment

                 Eyes:
                       Wear chemical goggles.
