Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

General information

In case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show the label where possible).

After inhalation

Move to fresh air, rest, half upright position, loosen clothing. Oxygen or artificial respiration if there is difficulty in breathing. Seek medical advice after significant exposure.

After contact with skin

Wash immediately with soap and water. Take off contaminated clothing immediately. In case of skin eruption seeks medical advice.

After contact with eyes

Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Eyelids should be held away from the eyeball to ensure thorough rinsing. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.

After ingestion

Rinse mouth, give water to drink. Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

May cause sensitization by skin contact. Toxic if swallowed.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Do not delay treatment of exposed individuals, death may result.

Treat symptomatically.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Water-spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam.

Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons

Full water jet

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Do not inhale explosion or combustion vapors. Fire will produce acrid smoke.

Fire may produce:

Carbon monoxide

Carbon dioxide

Nitrogen oxides (NOx)

Dust may form explosive mixture in air.

Advice for firefighters

Wear self contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

Additional information

Water used to extinguish a fire should not be allowed to enter drains, soil or surface waters.

Provide for measures for the retention of product and extinguishing water.

Contaminated extinguishing water and soil must be disposed of in accordance with official regulations.

Cool containers at risk with water spray jet.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Avoid dust formation.

Do not breathe dust.

Ensure adequate ventilation.

Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.

Use personal protective clothing.

Dust may form explosive mixture in air.

Remove all sources of ignition.

Environmental precautions

Do not discharge into the drains/surface waters/groundwater. Avoid subsoil penetration.

This material and its container must be disposed of as hazardous waste.

Inform respective authorities in case of seepage into water course or sewage system.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Use personal protective equipment.

Moisten and pick up mechanically, avoiding dust. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Reference to other sections

Observe protective instructions and disposal considerations (see sections 7, 8 and 13).

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Advice on safe handling

Persons with a history of skin sensitization problems should not be employed in any process in which this product is used.

Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery and at places where dust can be generated.

Do not breathe dust.

Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.

Keep container tightly closed.

Use personal protective equipment.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion

Dust may form explosive mixture in air.

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

To avoid dust explosions any dust deposits which cannot be avoided have to be taken up regularly.

Static electric discharges have to be avoided, e.g. by grounding of containers, equipment, pumps and exhaustion devices.
