FIRST-AID MEASURES Inhalation If breathing is difficult, remove to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. For breathing difficulties, oxygen may be necessary. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist. Skin contact Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water for several minutes. Eye contact Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Promptly wash eyes with plenty of water while lifting the eye lids. Ingestion Call a physician or poison control center immediately. If swallowed, rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious). Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that stomach vomit doesn't enter the lungs.

Dusts may irritate the respiratory delayed tract, skin and eyes. Skin irritation. May cause redness and pain. Prolonged exposure may cause chronic effects. Indication of immediate medical Not available. attention and special treatment needed General information Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Suitable extinguishing media Water spray, fog, CO2, dry chemical, or alcohol resistant foam. Unsuitable extinguishing media Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire. Specific hazards arising from Explosion hazard: Avoid generating dust; fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and the chemical in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Special protective equipment Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame retardant coat, helmet with and precautions for firefighters face shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in enclosed spaces, SCBA. Structural firefighters protective clothing will only provide limited protection. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece operated in the positive pressure demand mode when fighting fires. Fire fighting In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Use standard firefighting procedures and equipment/instructions consider the hazards of other involved materials. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Keep run-off water out of sewers and water sources. Dike for water control. Specific methods Use water spray to cool unopened containers. SAFETY DATA SHEET 502016 BENZOIC ACID Revision Date: 07-06-2021 Page 4 of 10 Version # 04 Print Date: 07-06-2021 General fire hazards Static charges generated by emptying package in or near flammable vapor may cause flash fire. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions, protective Eliminate all sources of ignition. Avoid contact with skin or inhalation of spillage, dust or vapor. equipment and emergency Keep unnecessary personnel away. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless procedures wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Methods and materials for Sweep up and place in a clearly labeled container for chemical waste. Wash contaminated area containment and cleaning up with water. Collect and dispose of spillage as indicated in section 13 of the SDS. This material and its container must be disposed of as hazardous waste. Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Use only non-sparking tools. Avoid the generation of dusts during clean-up. Never return spills in original containers for re-use. Environmental precautions Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water. Avoid release to the environment. Contact local authorities in case of spillage to drain/aquatic environment. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not contaminate water. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for safe handling Take precautionary measures against static discharges when there is a risk of dust explosion. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Routine housekeeping should be instituted to ensure that dusts do not accumulate on surfaces. Dry powders can build static electricity charges when subjected to the friction of transfer and mixing operations. Provide adequate precautions, such as electrical grounding and bonding, or inert atmospheres. Do not handle or store near an open flame, heat or other sources of ignition. Assume that this material is capable of producing a dust explosion if ignited as a dust cloud. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Avoid breathing vapor. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid prolonged exposure. Wash thoroughly after handling. Conditions for safe storage, Keep container closed. Handle containers with care. Open slowly in order to control possible including any incompatibilities pressure release. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area. 8.
