First-aid measures
Emergency measure - Inhalation: Seek medical attention.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Rinse with plenty of water (to avoid colouration of
eyeball). If necessary, seek medical attention.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: No special precautions. If unwell, seek medical attention.
Fire-fighting measures
Recommended extinguishing agent: Recommended extinguishing agents: Water, carbon dioxide,
foam and dry powder are suitable extinguishing agents.
Product arising from burning: Products arising from pyrolysis: Carbon and nitrogen oxides
together with some soot may be formed.
Protective equipment: Protective equipment: Fire fighters should wear protective
clothing and a respirator.
Accidental release measures
Emergency measures in case of spillage: Avoid skin and eye contact and inhalation of dust (cf.
2.3.1). Collect spillage and place in suitable containers
for disposal.
Handling and storage
Handling: Avoid dust formation and electrostatic charging, use
exhaust ventilation. A particle filter (DIN 3181-P1) may be
required. Keep away from food and foodstuff. Avoid skin and
eye contact, wear appropriate protective clothing (gloves
and goggles).
Storage: Observe the principles of good hygiene in store rooms. Keep

Disposal considerations
Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Recovery by recrystallisation is possible.
Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable if used as intended. [UK c.a. has queried
this assertion].
Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Disposal at an approved landfill site, isolated to prevent
seepage, is possible. Observe local and national
regulations.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Recommended method. Waste gas treatment to remove nitrogen
oxides should be used.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Small amounts only will be dissolved in waste water as the
substance has a low water solubility. No information is
available concerning degradation in sewage plants. The
substance may be separated from water by filtration.
Residues may be concentrated by recycling water. [UK c.a.:
See 92 06 0414 00]
Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance itself will not enter the public domain. [UK
c.a.: Preparations containing the substance will enter the
public domain].
