SECTION 4: First-aid measures
4.1 Description of necessary first-aid measures
General advice Under normal handling and use, exposure to solid forms of this material
present few health haz-ards. Subsequent operations such as grinding,
melting or welding may produce hazardous dust or fumes which can be
inhaled or come in contact with the skin or eyes. Wear appropriate
protective equipment.
If inhaled In case of accident by inhalation: remove casualty to fresh air and keep at
rest.
In case of skin contact After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water
