Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Eye Contact:

Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the

upper and lower eyelids. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Get

medical attention following exposure or if feeling unwell.

Inhalation:

Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for

breathing. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory

arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained

personnel. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give

mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Get medical attention following exposure

or if feeling unwell. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get

medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight

clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.

Skin Contact:

Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated

clothing and shoes. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Get

medical attention following exposure or if feeling unwell. Wash clothing

before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse.

Ingestion:

Wash out mouth with water. Remove dentures if any. Remove victim to

fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If

material has been swallowed and the exposed person is conscious, give

small quantities of water to drink. Stop if the exposed person feels sick

as vomiting may be dangerous. Do not induce vomiting unless directed

to do so by medical personnel. If vomiting occurs, the head should be

kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Get medical attention

following exposure or if feeling unwell. Never give anything by mouth to

an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery position and

get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen

tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.

Fire-fighting measures

Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of

the incident if there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any

personal risk or without suitable training.

Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and selfcontained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in

positive pressure mode. Clothing for fire-fighters (including helmets,

protective boots and gloves) conforming to European standard EN 469

will provide a basic level of protection for chemical incidents.

Accidental release measures

Move containers from spill area. Avoid dust generation. Do not dry

sweep. Vacuum dust with equipment fitted with a HEPA filter and place

in a closed, labelled waste container. Dispose of via a licensed waste

disposal contractor.

Handling and storage

Put on appropriate personal protective equipment. Do

not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Keep in the

original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible

material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Empty containers retain

product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Engineering controls:

If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vapour or mist, use

process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering

controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any

recommended or statutory limits

Eye/Face protection:

Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard (EN 166 or local

equivalent) is required during loading and unloading of reactors,

cleaning and maintenance operations, and sampling, where exposure to

dust, powder or liquid splashes is possible.

Hand Protection:

Chemical/bio-chemical resistant, impervious gloves complying with an

approved chemical standard (EN 374 or local equivalent) should be worn

at all times when handling chemical products. For tasks involving

physical or mechanical hazards, gloves should also comply with an

approved physical standard (EN 388 or local equivalent).

Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check

during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties.

In the case of mixtures, consisting of several substances, the protection

time of the gloves cannot be accurately estimated.

Body Protection:

Safety shoes complying with an approved standard (EN 20346 or

equivalent) and a hard hat complying with an approved standard (EN

297 or equivalent) is required during loading and unloading of reactors,

cleaning and maintenance operations and sampling.

Wear protective coveralls. For dusty tasks where dermal contact is

possible a protective suit complying with an approved standard (EN

13982-1 Type 5 or equivalent) may be worn

Respiratory protection:

Use of Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) (Particle filter with high

efficiency for solid particles (EN 143 or 149, Type P2 or FFP2, Associated

Protection Factor (APF) = 10) or local equivalent as a minimum) is

required during loading and unloading of reactors, cleaning and

maintenance operations, and sampling, where exposure to dust or

powder is possible. Air-fed Respiratory Protective Equipment may be

used if entry to the reactor is required.

Stability and reactivity

Under normal conditions of storage and use, hazardous reactions will not occur.

Disposal considerations

The generation of waste should be avoided or minimised wherever

possible. Waste packaging should be recycled. Incineration or landfill

should only be considered when recycling is not feasible.

This material and its container must be disposed of in a safe way. Care

should be taken when handling emptied containers that have not been

cleaned or rinsed out. Empty containers or liners may retain some

product residues. Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and

contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers.
