Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media: Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.

Unsuitable extinguishing media: For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Not combustible. Ambient fire may liberate hazardous vapours.

Advice for firefighters

Special protective equipment for firefighters: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Advice for non-emergency personnel: Avoid inhalation of dusts. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.

Advice for emergency responders: Protective equipment see “Exposure controls/personal protection”.

Environmental precautions

No special precautionary measures necessary.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Observe possible material restrictions (see sections “Handling and Storage” and “Stability and Reactivity”. Take up dry. Dispose of properly. Clean up affected area. Avoid generation of dusts.

Reference to other sections

Indications about waste treatment see section “Disposal considerations”.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Control parameters

Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values

General threshold limit value for dust

EH40 WEL

-        time weighted average (TWA): 4 mg/m³, form of exposure: respirable dust

-       time weighted average (TWA): 10 mg/m³, form of exposure: inhalable dust

Exposure controls

Engineering measures

Technical measures and appropriate working operations should be given priority over the use of personal protective equipment. See section “Precautions for safe handling”.

Individual protection measures

Protective clothing needs to be selected specifically for the workplace, depending on concentrations and quantities of the hazardous substances handled. The chemical resistance of the protective equipment should be enquired at the respective supplier.

Eye/face protection measures: Safety glasses

Hand protection: Not required

Respiratory protection: required when dusts are generated. Empfohlener Filtertyp: Filter P 1 (according to DIN 3181) for solid particles of inert substances. The entrepreneur has to ensure that maintenance, cleaning and testing of respiratory protective devices are carried out according to the instructions of the producer. These measures have to be properly documented.

Environmental exposure controls

No special precautionary measures necessary.
