Seek medical attention.

If swallowed:
Rinse mouth and then drink plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention if necessary.

Note to physician
Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known
specific antidote.

Fire-fighting measures

Flash point: No data available.
Autoignition: 420 °C (BAM)
Lower explosion limit: not determined
Upper explosion limit: not determined
Flammability: not highly flammable (Directive 92/69/EEC, A.10)
Self-ignition temperature: (Directive 92/69/EEC, A.16) not self-igniting

Suitable extinguishing media:
dry powder, foam

Unsuitable extinguishing media for safety reasons:
carbon dioxide

Additional information:
Avoid whirling up the material/product because of the danger of dust explosion.

Hazards during fire-fighting:
harmful vapours
Evolution of fumes/fog. The substances/groups of substances mentioned can be released in case of fire.

Protective equipment for fire-fighting:
Firefighters should be equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus and turn-out gear.

Further information:
Dusty conditions may ignite explosively in the presence of an ignition source causing flash fire.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions:
Avoid dust formation. Use personal protective clothing.

Environmental precautions:
Contain contaminated water/firefighting water. Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater.

Cleanup:
Avoid raising dust.
For small amounts: Pick up with suitable appliance and dispose of.
For large amounts: Contain with dust binding material and dispose of.

Handling and storage

Handling
General advice:
Breathing must be protected when large quantities are decanted without local exhaust ventilation.

Closed containers should only be opened in well-ventilated areas.

Protection against fire and explosion:
Avoid dust formation. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

Storage
General advice:
Keep container tightly closed and dry; store in a cool place.

Decomposition products:
Hazardous decomposition products: No hazardous decomposition products if stored and handled as
prescribed/indicated.

Thermal decomposition:
> 300 °C (DSC (OECD 113))


Corrosion to metals:
Corrosive effects to metal are not anticipated.

Oxidizing properties:
not fire-propagating (Directive 92/69/EEC, A.17)

Disposal considerations

Waste disposal of substance:
Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater. Dispose of in accordance with national, state and
local regulations.
