                 **** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****

                              EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Moisture sensitive.Air sensitive.The toxicological properties of this
material have not been fully investigated.

Potential Health Effects
    Eye:
         May cause eye irritation.
    Skin:
         May cause skin irritation. Low hazard for usual industrial handling.
    Ingestion:
         May cause irritation of the digestive tract. Low hazard for usual
         industrial handling.
    Inhalation:
         May cause respiratory tract irritation. The toxicological properties
         of this substance have not been fully investigated.
    Chronic:
         Chronic inhalation of fine dusts may cause lung damage.

                   **** 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.
    Skin:
         Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at
         least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash
         clothing before reuse.
    Ingestion:
         Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
         aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and
         drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
    Inhalation:
         Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing,
         give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
         Get medical aid.
    Notes to Physician:

                 **** SECTION 5 - 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.
    Extinguishing Media:
         Do NOT use water directly on fire. Do NOT use carbon dioxide. Use
         agent most appropriate to extinguish fire. Do NOT get water inside
         containers.

               **** 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. Sweep up, then place into a suitable container for
         disposal. Provide ventilation. Place under an inert atmosphere. Do
         not get water inside containers.

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

    Handling:
         Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
         wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust
         generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
         clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and
         inhalation. Handle under an inert atmosphere. Store protected from
         air. Do not allow contact with water. Keep from contact with moist
         air and steam.
    Storage:
         Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a tightly closed
         container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
         incompatible substances. Do not expose to air. Store protected from
         moisture. Store under an inert atmosphere.

         **** SECTION 8 - 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 general or
         local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
         permissible exposure limits. Use process enclosure, local exhaust
         ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne
         levels.
    Personal Protective Equipment

                Eyes:
                      Wear safety glasses and chemical goggles if splashing
                      is possible.
                Skin:
                      Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing to
                      prevent skin exposure.
            Clothing:
                      Wear appropriate protective clothing to minimize
                      contact with skin.
         Respirators:
                      Wear a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149
                      approved full-facepiece airline respirator in the
                      positive pressure mode with emergency escape
                      provisions.
