Advice for firefighters:
Special protective equipment for firefighters: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions: Remove all sources of ignition. Use personal protective equipment. Avoid dust formation. Avoid dust accumulation in enclosed space.
Environmental precautions: No special environmental precautions required.
Methods for cleaning up: Use mechanical handling equipment. Avoid dust formation. Pick up and transfer to properly labelled containers.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:
Advice on safe handling: Avoid dust formation. Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms. Avoid exceeding the given occupational exposure limits.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion: Keep away from heat, open flames, sparks, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. No smoking. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. During processing, dust may form explosive mixture in air. Do not mix with combustible materials.
Hygiene measures: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Keep working clothes separately.
