First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably by mouth-to-mouth. Get medical attention.
Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash clothing before reuse.
Flush eyes with plenty of water. Call a physician if irritation persists.
Symptoms: moderate eye irritation
Call a physician or poison control center. Do not induce vomiting.
Immediate Medical Attention
Get medical attention (for inhalation if not breathing). Call a physician or poison control center (if swallowed). Call a physician if irritation persists (for eyes).
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Any fire extinguishing media may be used on nearby fires.
Borates present no unusual hazards when involved in a fire.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Use personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid dust formation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal. Avoid dust formation.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Caution: Keep out of Reach of Children.
No special storage or handling procedures are required for this material.
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling, and before eating, drinking, or smoking.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
General dilution ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation should be provided as necessary to maintain exposures below regulatory limits. Dust collection systems may be necessary in some operations.
Use of gloves recommended. Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure.
Safety goggles recommended in dusty areas. Use goggles or vented safety glasses in excessively dusty conditions. 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.
Not required unless there is heavy dust occurrence in which case a protective mask is recommended. Use appropriate NIOSH/MSHA certified respirators when levels are expected to exceed exposure limits (see Section 15). A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR §1910.134 must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use.
(Not required under normal conditions.) Use protection if excessively dusty or if skin is damaged. Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.
