Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:

Cough, pain, choking, and breathing difficulties.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:

water, foam, alcohol resistant foam, fire extinguishing powder

Unsuitable extinguishing media:

water jet

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

Deposited combustible dust has considerable explosion potential.

Hazardous combustion products:

nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen chloride (HCl)

Advice for fighters:

In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.

Co-ordinate firefighting measures to the fire surroundings.

Do not allow firefighting water to enter drains or water courses.

Collect contaminated firefighting water separately.

Fight fire with normal precautions from a reasonable distance.

Special protective equipment for firefighters:

wear self-contained breathing apparatus

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

- For non-emergency personnel

Remove persons to safety.

Ventilate affected area.

Control of dust.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Do not breathe dust.

Wearing of suitable protective equipment (including personal protective equipment referred to under

- For emergency responders

Wear breathing apparatus if exposed to vapours/dust/spray/gases.

Environmental precautions:

Keep away from drains, surface and ground water.

Retain contaminated washing water and dispose of it.

If substance has entered a water course or sewer, inform the responsible authority.

Advices on how to contain a spill:

take up mechanically

Advices on how to clean up a spill:

Collect spillage.

Other information relating to spills and releases:

Place in appropriate containers for disposal.

Ventilate affected area.

Handling and storage

Recommendations for safe handling:

Handle and open container with care.

Measures to prevent fire as well as aerosol and dust generation:

Use local and general ventilation.

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

Specific notes / details:

Dust deposits may accumulate on all deposition surfaces in a technical room.

The product in the delivered form is not dust explosion capable; the enrichment of fine dust however leads to the danger of dust explosion.

Measures to protect the environment:
