Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Wear personal protective equipment (see item 8).
When selecting the protective suit attention has to be paid to the complete and safe protection of
skin and mucous membranes. Impermeable protective clothes, protective boots made of neoprene,
complete face protection and nitrile-rubber-gloves with long tops should be worn.
Environmental precautions:
Do not allow product to reach sewage system or water courses.
Inform authorities in case of contamination of water or sewage system.
Do not allow product to enter the ground/soil.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:
Collect mechanically.
Send for recovery or disposal in suitable containers.
Dispose of contaminated material as waste according to item 13.

Handling and storage
Ensure "strictly controlled conditions" to avoid rigorous exposure.
Precautions for safe handling
Undertake operation under enclosed conditions.
Provide closed or ventilated sample points.
Ensure sufficient ventilation when re-packing damaged packages.
Only allow access to authorised staff.
Floors, walls and other surfaces in the hazard area must be cleaned regularly.
Clean contaminated work equipment immediately to avoid skin corrosion/-irritation and/or allergic
skin reactions in case of unconscious skin contact.
Risks to the safety and health of workers may not only be created by work involving chemicals but,
inter alia by work equipment and the fitting-out of work-places. Those risks shall be identified and evaluated.
· Information about protection against explosion and fire:
Protect against electrostatic charges.
Dust can combine with air to form an explosive mixture.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
· Storage
· Requirements to be met by storerooms and containers: Store only in the original container.
· Information about storage in a common storage facility:
Store away from oxidising agents.
Store away from reducing agents.
· Further information about storage conditions:
Keep containers tightly sealed. Protect from humidity and keep away from water.
· Maximum storage temperature: 32° C.
