First-aid measures

4.1 Description of first aid measures

General advice

      :       Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.

Ensure that the First Aid Personnel are aware of the product involved, and take precautions to protect themselves (e.g. wear personal protection equipment).

If inhaled

      :       If inhaled, remove to fresh air.

Get medical advice/ attention.

In case of skin contact

      :       In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of wa-ter.

In case of eye contact

      :       In the case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plen-ty of water and seek medical advice.

If swallowed

      :       If swallowed do not induce vomiting,seek medical advice and show safety datasheet or label

4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Risks       :

None known.

4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Treatment

      :

Treat symptomatically.

Fire-fighting measures

5.1 Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media

      :       Water spray jet

Foam

Unsuitable extinguishing media

      :       High volume water jet

5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Specific hazards during fire-fighting

      :       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.

In case of fires, hazardous combustion gases are formed: Carbon monoxide (CO)

Carbon dioxide (CO2)

5.3 Advice for firefighters

Special protective equipment for firefighters

      :       Self-contained breathing apparatus Full protective suit

Accidental release measures

6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Personal precautions

      :

Ensure adequate ventilation.

Wear suitable protective equipment.

Keep away sources of ignition.

6.2 Environmental precautions

Environmental precautions

      :       Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains.

The product should not be allowed to enter drains, water courses or the soil.

6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Methods for cleaning up

      :       Pick up mechanically. Rinse away rest with water.

Avoid dust formation.

Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.

Risk of dust explosion.

Treat recovered material as described in the section "Dis-posal considerations".

6.4 Reference to other sections

For disposal considerations see section 13., For personal protection see section 8.

Handling and storage

7.1 Precautions for safe handling

Advice on safe handling

      :       Maximum safe handling temperature 119°C

Advice on protection against fire and explosion

      :       Dust can form an explosive mixture in air. Keep away sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against build-up of electrostatic charges, e.g  earthing during loading and off-loading operations. Observe the general rules of in-dustrial fire protection

Hygiene measures

      :       Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.

Use protective skin cream before handling the product.

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse.

Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.

Dust explosion class

      :       No data available

7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Requirements for storage areas and containers

      :       Keep only in the original container.

Advice on common storage

      :       Avoid storage near incompatibile agents (see section 10).

Do not store or transport together with foodstuffs

7.3 Specific end use(s)

Specific use(s)

      :       No further recommendations.
