4. .First Aid MeasuresFirst aid procedures
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention
Wash off with soap and plenty of water. For minor skin contact, avoid spreading material on
unaffected skin. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
Material name: DCI®-90 (Ibuprofen USP 90%)
MSDS ID: DCI90 Version #: 02 Revision date: 07-13-2012
If gas/fume/vapor/dust/mist from the material is inhaled, remove the affected person immediately
to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. Do not induce
vomiting without advice from poison control center. Never give anything by mouth to a victim who
is unconscious or is having convulsions. Rinse mouth thoroughly. If vomiting occurs, keep head
low so that stomach content doesn't get into the lungs.
Oxygen, if needed. Keep victim warm. Symptoms may be delayed.
In the case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show the label
where possible). Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take
5. .Fire Fighting MeasuresFlammable properties
Not flammable by OSHA criteria. Dust may form explosive mixture with air.
Water. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Dust may form explosive mixture with air. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic
In the event of fire, cool tanks with water spray. Move containers from fire area if you can do so
without risk. As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand,
MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out.
6. .Accidental Release MeasuresPersonal precautions
Ventilate the area. Keep unnecessary personnel away. Do not touch damaged containers or
spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Wear appropriate protective
equipment and clothing during clean-up. Avoid inhalation of dust from the spilled material.
Ventilate closed spaces before entering them.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not contaminate water.
ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Collect
spillage. If sweeping of a contaminated area is necessary use a dust suppressant agent which
does not react with the product. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined
Should not be released into the environment. Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in
suitable container for disposal. Avoid dust formation. Collect dust using a vacuum cleaner
equipped with HEPA filter. Following product recovery, flush area with water.
DO NOT handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of ignition. Protect
material from direct sunlight. Handle under inert gas atmosphere. Minimize dust generation and
accumulation. Keep formation of airborne dusts to a minimum. Dust may form explosive mixture
with air. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. Use
explosion-proof ventilation equipment. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory
equipment. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Static electricity and
formation of sparks must be prevented. All equipment used when handling the product must be
grounded. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use non-sparking tools and
explosion-proof equipment. Do not breathe dust. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid prolonged
exposure. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Avoid release to the environment.
Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from moisture. Keep
from freezing. Guard against dust accumulation of this material. This material can accumulate
static charge which may cause spark and become an ignition source. Prevent electrostatic charge
build-up by using common bonding and grounding techniques. Keep away from heat, sparks and
open flame. Use care in handling/storage.

8. .Exposure Controls / /Personal ProtectionOccupational exposure limits
Explosion-proof general and local exhaust ventilation. Good general ventilation (typically 10 air
changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If
applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to
maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been
established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. If engineering measures are not
sufficient to maintain concentrations of dust particulates below the OEL, suitable respiratory
protection must be worn. If material is ground, cut, or used in any operation which may generate
dusts, use appropriate local exhaust ventilation to keep exposures below the recommended
exposure limits. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas.
Chemical goggles are recommended. Provide eyewash station and safety shower. Avoid contact
Avoid contact with the skin. Wear suitable protective clothing. Chemical resistant gloves.
If airborne concentrations are above the applicable exposure limits, use NIOSH approved
respiratory protection. Wear respirator with dust filter.
When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Do not breathe dust. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid
contact with skin. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
