Notes to physician:
Symptoms: Treat as cyanide poisoning. Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray, Dry powder, Foam
Specific hazards during fire fighting: Heating or fire can release toxic gas.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Additional advice: Use water spray to cool unopened containers.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions: Avoid dust formation. In the case of respirable dust and/or fumes, use self-contained breathing apparatus and dust
impervious protective suit.
Environmental precautions: Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.
Methods for cleaning up: Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal.
Handling and storage
This substance is handled under Strictly Controlled Conditions in accordance with REACH regulation Article 17(3) for on-site isolated intermediates and, in case the substance is transported to other sites for further processing, the substance should be handled at these sites under Strictly Controlled Conditions as specified in REACH regulation Article 18(4). Site documentation to support safe handling arrangements including the selection of
engineering, administrative and personal protective equipment controls in accordance with risk-based management systems is available at each
Manufacturing site.
Safe handling advice: Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use. Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation. In
case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Advice on protection
against fire and explosion: Avoid dust formation. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
