for usual industrial handling.
Chronic: No information found.
Section
3 - 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.
Skin: Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid
if irritation develops or persists.
Ingestion: If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls
of milk or water. Get medical aid.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately.
Get medical aid if cough or other symptoms appear.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Section
4 - Fire Fighting Measures
General Information: 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.
Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. This material
in sufficient quantity and reduced particle size is capable of
creating a dust explosion. Runoff from fire control or dilution
water may cause pollution.
Extinguishing Media: For small fires, use water spray, dry chemical,
carbon dioxide or chemical foam.
Flash Point: Not applicable.
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 1; Flammability: 1; Instability:
0
Section
5 - Accidental Release Measures
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment
as indicated in Section 7.
Spills/Leaks: Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable
disposal container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions
in the Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Provide ventilation.
Section
6 - Handling and Storage
Handling: Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation
and accumulation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid ingestion
and inhalation.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Keep from contact with oxidizing
materials.
Section
7 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material
should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.
Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
OSHA Vacated PELs: Calcium lactate, pentahydrate: No OSHA Vacated
PELs are listed for this chemical.
Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety
goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations
in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166.
Skin: Wear appropriate gloves to prevent skin exposure.
Clothing: Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators: Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29
CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or
European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits
are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
Section
8 - Stability and Reactivity
Chemical Stability: Stable at room temperature in closed containers
under normal storage and handling conditions.
Conditions to Avoid: Dust generation, excess heat.
Incompatibilities with Other Materials: Strong oxidizers.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide,
calcium oxide.
Hazardous Polymerization: Has not been reported
