Product and Company Identification 24 Hour Emergency Response InformationCompanyBASF Canada Inc.100 Milverton DriveMississauga, ON L5R 4H1, CANADACANUTEC (reverse charges): (613) 996-6666BASF HOTLINE: (800) 454-COPE (2673) 2. Hazards Identification Emergency overview Signal word: CAUTION: !  Colour: off-whiteAppearance: powder State of matter: solidOdour: odourlessHealth: This product has no known adverse effect on human health.Physical/Chemicalhazards: Organic powders may be capable of generating static discharges and creating explosivemixtures in air. Handle with caution., Refer to MSDS Section 7 for Dust Explosioninformation., Spills are very slippery. Potential health effects Chronic exposure: May cause slight eye or mild skin irritation.Inhalation of dust may result in respiratory irritation. Potential environmental effects Releases to the environment are to be avoided. 3. Composition/Information on Ingredients This material does not contain any hazardous components that are reportable according to WHMIS criteria. 4. First-aid Measures Inhalation: Remove to fresh air, if not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen and getimmediate medical attention.    Safety Data Sheet MAGNAFLOC ® 351   Revision date : 05.07.2010   Page: 2/6   Version: 1.2   (30481738/SDU_GEN_CA/EN)   Skin: After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap.Get medical attention if irritation occurs.If clothing is contaminated, remove and launder before reuse. Eyes: In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs naturally, have casualty lean forward to reduce the risk of aspiration. Seek medical attention immediately. 5. Fire-fighting Measures Suitable extinguishing media: carbon dioxide, dry powder, foam Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: If water is used, restrict pedestrian and vehicular traffic in areas where slip hazard may exist. Hazardous combustion products: Carbon and nitrogen oxides.   Hazards during fire-fighting: Standard procedure for chemical fires.Dust in sufficient concentration can result in an explosive mixture in air. Handle to minimize dusting andeliminate open flame and other sources of ignition.Spills can cause very slippery conditions on floors.Restrict pedestrian and vehicular traffic in areas where slip hazard may exist. Protective equipment for fire-fighting: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing. 6. Accidental Release Measures Cleanup: Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal.Avoid raising dust.Wear suitable protective equipment.Should not be released into the environment.Product becomes slippery and difficult to handle when wet. 7. Handling and Storage Handling General advice: As with all industrial chemicals, use good industrial practices when handling. Avoid eye, skin, and clothingcontact. Do not inhale. Do not taste or swallow. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid dust formation! Slip hazard when wet. Clean up spills promptly  Protection against fire and explosion: Avoid creating dust. Organic powders may be capable of generating static discharges and creating explosivemixtures in air. Handle with caution. Handle with caution.     Safety Data Sheet MAGNAFLOC ® 351   Revision date : 05.07.2010   Page: 3/6   Version: 1.2   (30481738/SDU_GEN_CA/EN)   Storage General advice: Keep container tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.> for industrial use only < 8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection Exposure Guidelines Engineering Controls: Work in well ventilated areas. Do not breathe dust.Use local mechanical dust extraction systems designed to handle explosive dusts. Personal protective equipment Respiratory protection: Wear a NIOSH-certified respirator as necessary. Eye protection: Wear safety goggles (chemical goggles) if there is potential for airborne dust exposures. Body protection: Wear chemical resistant gloves and protective clothing. General safety and hygiene measures: There are no OSHA or ACGIH exposure guidelines available for component(s) in this product. 9.
