2. Hazards Identification
Emergency overview

Signal word: Colour: Appearance: State of matter: Odour: Health: Physical/Chemical hazards:
Potential health effects

CAUTION: ! white beads solid mild MAY CAUSE EYE IRRITATION. Slip hazard when wet., Organic powders may be capable of generating static discharges and creating explosive mixtures in air. Handle with caution., Refer to MSDS Section 7 for Dust Explosion information.

Primary routes of entry: Skin, Eyes, Inhalation, Ingestion Chronic exposure: Eye contact may cause irritation and/or redness. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause slight skin irritation. Inhaled dust may cause some respiratory irritation. Repeated or prolonged skin contact can cause drying and cracking of the skin.
Potential environmental effects

Releases to the environment are to be avoided.

4. First-aid Measures
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air, if not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen and get immediate medical attention. Skin: If clothing is contaminated, remove and launder before reuse. After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. Get medical attention if irritation occurs. Eyes: Immediately flush the eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water for 15 minutes or until the chemical is removed. Get immediate medical attention if irritation persists. 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, foam, dry powder 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. The product is slippery when wet. Dust in sufficient concentration can result in an explosive mixture in air. Handle to minimize dusting and eliminate open flame and other sources of ignition. Protective equipment for fire-fighting: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Cleanup: Wear suitable protective equipment. Avoid raising dust. Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal. Should not be released into the environment. Spills are very slippery. Clean up promptly.

7. Handling and Storage

Handling

General advice: As with all industrial chemicals, use good industrial practices when handling. Avoid eye, skin, and clothing contact. Do not inhale. Do not taste or swallow. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid dust formation. Clean up spills promptly Protection against fire and explosion: Avoid creating dust. Organic powders may be capable of generating static discharges and creating explosive mixtures in air. Handle with caution. Handle with caution.
Storage

General advice: Keep container tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Avoid extremes of temperature. Avoid buildup of dust. > for industrial use only <

8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Guidelines

Hexanedioic-acid- (124-04-9) Engineering Controls:

ACGIH

TWA value: 5 mg/m3

Work in well ventilated areas. Do not breathe dust. Ensure good ventilation and local exhaust.
Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection: Use NIOSH approved respirator as needed to mitigate exposure. 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: Eye wash station and safety shower should be available in immediate work area., Select additional protective equipment based upon potential for exposure.
