Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
If inhaled: If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
In case of skin contact: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with soap and plenty of water. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
In case of eye contact: In the case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
If swallowed : If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media: Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local cir-cumstances and the surrounding environment. Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or car-bon dioxide.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: High volume water jet
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Specific hazards during fire-fighting: In case of fire hazardous decomposition products may be produced such as carbon oxides.
Avoid generating dust; fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard.
Advice for firefighters
Special protective equipment for firefighters: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system. Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions: Ensure adequate ventilation. Use personal protective equipment.
Environmental precautions : Prevent product from entering drains.
Methods for cleaning up: Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal.
Handling and storage
Advice on safe handling: Avoid dust formation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion: Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. Avoid dust formation in confined areas.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Requirements for storage areas and containers: Store in original container. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.
Advice on common storage: No special restrictions on storage with other products.
Further information on stor-age stability: Keep in a dry place. Stable under recommended storage conditions.
