copious amounts of water and obtain medical attention
immediately.
Emergency measure - Skin: Remove any solid dust physically then wash affected area
with copious amounts of water.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek medical attention.
Fire-fighting measures
Recommended extinguishing agent: Dry powder, foam or carbon dioxide may be used.
Product arising from burning: Products of combustion may include metal oxide smoke.
Product determined by test: N
Protective equipment: None reported.
Accidental release measures
Emergency measures in case of spillage: Wear dust respirator or mask. Sweep up excess material,
taking care to minimise creating excess dust. The remaining
particles can be vacuumed up. Wash down with sodium
bicarbonate and water.
Handling and storage
Handling: Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Take off
immediately any contaminated clothing. Do not breathe dust.
Avoid raising a dust cloud. Wear dust respirator, gloves
(PVC, Neoprene or nitrile)), disposable one-piece coated

In a confined space wear compressed air breathing apparatus
with full face-piece.
Storage: Storage area should be dry.
Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Catalyst preparations containing the substance are usually
shipped in sealed woven polypropylene sacks (1500 kg) with
