- in the event of symptoms get medical treatment

Note to physician

- treat symptomatically

- after accidental exposure women should get medical advice from a physician

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media

- water spray jet, dry powder, foam, carbon dioxide

Unsuitable extinguishing media

- full water jet

Specific hazards

- very high probability of ignition of dust whirled up

- substance is hazardous for water: contain fire-fighting wastewater

Protection of fire-fighters

- precipitate gases/vapours/mists with water spray

- use self-contained breathing apparatus

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions

- ensure adequate ventilation

- keep away sources of ignition

Environmental protection

- do not allow to enter drains or waterways

- if the substance reaches waters or the sewer system, inform the competent authority

Methods for cleaning up

- collect solids (avoid dust formation) and hand over to waste removal

Handling and storage

- processing in closed systems, superposed by inert gas (e.g.nitrogen)

- avoid dust formation; very high dust explosion hazard

- connect conductive pieces of equipment, products and packaging to earth

- handling under inert conditions

- avoid electric charging of dust clouds

Suitable materials

- stainless steel, aluminium

Storage

Storage conditions

- dry, cool and ventilated place

Validity
