Potential Health Effects

Eye Contact:May be irritated by gross overexposure, no matter how generated. Keep dust out of eyes.
Skin Contact:May be irritated by gross overexposure, no matter how generated. May cause dryness.
Skin Absorption:May cause dryness.
Inhalation:May irritate eyes, skin and repiratory tract.
Ingestion:OSHA classifies the material as Particulates, not otherwise classified.

Section 3 - Composition/Information on Ingredients

ComponentCAS #Amount
 
Particulates not otherwise classified60-100%
Residual monomersNA0.5-5.0%
Benzoyl Peroxide94-36-00.5-1.5%

Section 4 - First-Aid Measures

Eye Contact: Flush with water for 15 minutes, including under eyelids. Get medical help if discomfort persists.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Get medical help if discomfort persists.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Get medical help if discomfort persists.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Call doctor if amount was large.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

Extinguishing Media: Water, carbon dioxide, dry chemical.
Fire Fighting Procedures: Avoid extinguishing methods which may generate dust clouds. Water stream can diperse dust into air, producing a fire hazard and possible explosion hazard if exposed to ignition source.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Polymer dust is combustible. The explosive limits of the polymer particles suspended in ir are approximately those of coal dust.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

Steps to be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled: Sweep up to avoid slipping hazard. Keep airborne particulates at a minimum when cleaning up spills.
Personal Precautions:
Environmental Precautions:

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

General Handling: Keep out of reach of children.
Other Precautions: Use in well ventilated areas. Wear gloves when handling powder.
Storage: Store in a cool dry place. Keep container closed to prevent water absorption and contamination.
