Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Apply artificial respiration

if victim is not breathing. Rinse nose, mouth and throat with water. Keep victim warm with a blanket etc. Get immediate medical advice/attention. If vomiting

occurs, keep head low so that stomach content doesn't get into the lungs.

Skin contact: Remove/Take off immediately contaminated clothing and shoes. Gently washwith plenty of soap and water. If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get medical advice/attention.

Eye contact: Do not rub eye. Hold eyelids apart. Begin to rinse with water as soon as possible and rinse cautiously for several minutes. Remove contact lenses,

if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Get immediate medical advice/attention.

Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Keep victim warm with a blanket etc. Get immediate

medical advice/attention. If vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach content doesn't get into the lungs. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult.

Apply artificial respiration if victim is not breathing.

Personal Protection for First-aid Responders:

Use personal protective equipment as required.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media: Small fires: DRY chemical powder, carbon dioxide, water spray, regular foam

Large fires: Water spray, fog, regular foam

Unsuitable extinguishing media:

Straight streams of water

Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards:

Flammable/combustible material. May be fatal if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through skin. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. Contact may cause burning of eyes and flow of tears. Inhalation may cause coughing, difficult breathing and nausea. Will be easily ignited by ignition sources such as heat, mechanical sparks, static discharge or open flames. Powders and dusts may form explosive dust clouds with air. When heated, decomposition gases may form explosive mixtures with air. Contact with molten substance/product may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Fire may produce flammable and/or harmful gases. Powders, dusts, shavings, borings, turnings or cuttings may explode or burn with explosive violence. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff and fire-control water may pollute waters. May re-ignite after fire is extinguished. Risk of fire and explosion on contact with incompatible material(s).

Special Fire Fighting Procedures:

Keep upwind. Keep unauthorized personnel away. If possible, remove containers exposed to heat or cool with water. For large fires, withdraw from fire area and let fire burn. Dike fire water for later disposal; do not spread the material. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Protective Measures: Wear regional, national, and local standards approved fire fighting turnout gear and positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Structural firefighters' protective clothing will only provide limited protection from heat, and may not provide adequate protection from the harmful vapors or liquids.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions: Wear appropriate protective equipment. Use personal protection recommended in "Exposure control/personal protection". Isolate spill or leak area for proper distance in all directions. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.

Emergency procedures: Keep all unauthorized personnel upwind away. Consult an expert. Warn habitants surroundings. Navigation lock on waterways. Form large safety zone.

Environmental precautions: Prevent entry spilled material and runoff from spillage control into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. Avoid release to the environment.

Clean-up methods and materials and containment measures:

ELIMINATE all ignition sources such as heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces/static discharges. Use explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Stop leak if possible without any risk. Collect scattered product into sealable containers. Collect fine substance by dust explosion-proof cleaner to prevent scatter. Use clean non-sparking tools. See "Disposal considerations".

Prevention of secondary hazards:

Prevent from accumulation of static electricity by grounding and bonding of all equipment, and by wearing work clothing made of appropriate material. Prepare appropriate extinguishing agent. (See "5. Fire-fighting measures") For large spill, consider initial downwind evacuation for proper distance. Prevent dust cloud or/and dust accumulation.

Handling and storage

Handling:

Technical measures: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Use clean non-sparking tools. Do not breath powder, dust, shavings, borings, turnings or cuttings. ELIMINATE all ignition sources. Prevent dust cloud and dust accumulation. Take precautionary measures against static electricity such as grounding and bonding, wearing anti-static footwear and clothing, using grounded conductive floor. Do not use low conductive material to equipments and containers including plastic lining, bags and filters. Use dust explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting/equipment.Inerting by nitrogen gas, etc., and explosion pressure venting of confined spaces are requested as dust explosion precautions. If above mentioned precautions are impossible, consult an expert of a specialized company.

Exhausting, Ventilation: Ventilate by appropriate method. (See "Exposure control/personal protection").

Notes: Install appropriate equipment and wear appropriate protective clothing. (See "Exposure control/personal protection").

Safety measures: Eating, drinking and smoking in work areas is prohibited. Wash hands and face thoroughly after handling.

Storage:

Technical measures: Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking. Keep containers tightly closed.

Conditions: Well ventilate by proper manner according to regional, national and local regulations. Protect against direct sunlight. Keep in a fire-proof designed place. Keep away from incompatible materials. See "Stability and reactivity". Keep away from food and feedstuffs. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.

Packaging materials: Use package or container with anti-static discharge liner.

Special provisions / remarks / other:

Specific Safety Measures and Conditions for Transportation:
Make sure no damage, corrosion, leaks, and so on on the container(s) before transportation. Load not to fall, drop, damage the product, and make sure to take measures to secure the loaded products. Equip in automobile or ship for transportation with protective equipment (gloves, eyeglasses, mask, etc), and fire extinguisher, tools necessary for emergency.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure controls:

Appropriate engineering controls:

Use closed system and equipment, or local and/or general exhaust to maintain product dust concentrations in air below occupational exposure standards. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area. Control equipment and handling to prevent dust explosion hazards. See "Handling and storage". Take precautionary measures against static electricity such as grounding and bonding, wearing anti-static footwear and clothing, using grounded conductive floor.

Personal protective equipment (PPE):

Respiratory Protection: Breathing protective equipment should be chosen only according to specific regulatory requirements. Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) in circumstance above occupational exposure standards for dust including emergency procedures and cleaning for accidental release.
