4-FIRST AID MEASURES
4.1 Description of first aid measures:
The product is a white odourless, powdered substance that
is not flammable, combustible, or explosive, and has low
acute oral and dermal toxicity.
Usually no assistance by a doctor is required. In case of
accidental ingestion maintain adequate kidney function and
force fluid. Gastric lavage is recommended for symptomatic
patients only. Haemodialysis should be reserved for massive
acute ingestion or patients with renal failure.
4.2 Symptoms and effects:
Inhalation is the most significant route of exposure in
occupational and other settings..
 Inhalation: Accidental inhalation of dust ,at levels greater
3
than 10 mg/m , may cause light irritation to the first
respiratory system. If symptoms such as nose or throat
irritation are observed, remove person to fresh air . No
specific treatment is necessary.
SDS-C0218 Storflam CB 9671 - Calcium Borate - EN - 2014.doc
 Eye contact: may cause eye irritation. Use eye wash fountain
or fresh water to clean the eyes. If irritation persists for
more than 30 minutes, seek medical attention.
 Skin contact: drying of the skin can occur. If the irritation
appears wash with soap and abundant water for a number
of minutes .
 Ingestion: The product is not intended for ingestion. Small
amounts (teaspoon) swallowed accidentally are not likely to
cause effects. Swallowing amounts larger than that may
cause gastrointestinal symptoms . Choking may occur if
large quantities are swallowed.Wash with abundant
running water .Give two glasses of water or milk to drink
and seek medical attention.
4.3 Environment: none effect known. Releases to the
environment should be minimised. (See sec. 12)
