Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Following inhalation: Remove to fresh air and summon medical help if respiratory irritation develops or if breathing becomes difficult.

Following skin contact: Wipe away excess material with dry towel and then wash affected areas with plenty of water for several minutes. Get medical attention immediately if irritation occurs.

Following eye contact: Immediately wash affected eyes for several minutes under running water with eyelids held open. Get medical attention immediately if irritation occurs.

Following ingestion: Wash out mouth with water and then drink plenty of water, and summon a physician. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable: Foam, dry chemical powder and water fog

Unsuitable: Water jet

Special hazards arising from the substance: Thermal decomposition and burning will produce toxic fume, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides.

Advice for firefighters: Wear full protective clothing. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent extinguishing medium from contaminating surface or ground water.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Avoid dust formation. Avoid inhalation of vapours/dust. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Remove unnecessary people. Avoid raising dust for powder substance as released material may pose a dust explosion hazard if it becomes airborne in the presence of an ignition source. Pick up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, earth, etc.). Place into approved waste containers. Wear suitable protective equipment. Should not be released into the environment. Collect the spilled product into suitable containers which must be tightly sealed and properly labelled. Contain contaminated water/firefighting water. Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater.

Handling and storage

In accordance with good industrial practice, handle with care and avoid unnecessary personal contact. Keep away from ignition sources. Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged or repeated skin contact. Avoid continuous or repetitive breathing of dust.

Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. Normal measures for preventive fire protection. Closed containers should only be opened in well-ventilated areas.

Keep container tightly sealed when not in use and during transport. Prevent contamination with foreign materials. Keep ignition sources away- Do not smoke. Store containers and drums upright; do not drag or slide; and move in a carefully supervised manner with a suitable hand truck. Store in a cool place. Store in the original container securely closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Appropriate engineering controls: Normal ventilation for standard manufacturing procedures is generally adequate. Local exhaust should be used when large amounts are released. Mechanical ventilation should be used in low or enclosed places.

Hygiene measures: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. As a general rule, do not eat, drink and smoke in work areas; to wash hands thoroughly after handling and; to remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.

Eye / Face protection: Safety goggles recommended.

Skin protection: Choose body protection in relation to its type, to the concentration and amount of dangerous substances, and to the specific workplace. Protective work clothing. Closed footwear.

Hand protection: For prolonged or repeated contact use protective gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove’s outer surface) to avoid skin contact with the product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.

Respiratory protection: Suitable dust mask is recommended where dust arises from use. Use NIOSH-certified (or equivalent) respirators.

Stability and reactivity

Chemical stability: Stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage. Heat will contribute to instability.

Conditions to avoid: Direct sunlight, excessive light, moisture, oxidizing conditions, excessively high temperatures, sparks and open flame, dusting conditions and electro-static discharges.

Incompatible materials: Strong acids, strong bases and strong oxidizing agents.

Hazardous decomposition products: Thermal decomposition and burning will produce toxic fumes, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides.

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods: Residual chemical should be incinerated or by other modes or disposal in compliance with local/regional/national/international regulations.

The generation of waste should be avoided or minimized wherever possible. Disposal of this substance or product containing this substance, solutions and any by-products must be dumped or incinerated in accordance with local/regional/national/international regulations.

Treatment of polluted packaging: Contaminated packaging should be treated equivalent to residual chemical. Clean packaging material should be subjected to waste management schemes (recovery recycling, reuse) according to local/regional/national/international regulations.
