First-aid measures

Inhalation: Remove victim from area to fresh air. Seek medical attention

of respiratory difficulties or irritation arises.

Eyes:           Flush eyes with plenty of water for several minutes. Seek

medical attention if iritation develops.

Skin:            Wash affected areas with plenty of water, and soap if

available, for several minutes. Seek medical attention if

irritation develops.

Ingestion:  If swallowed, give 3-4 glasses of water but do not induce

vomiting. If vomiting occurs, give fluids again. Seek medical attention in order to                     determine whether vomiting or

evacuation of the stomach is necessary. Do not give anything

by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing

                  person.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Dry powder, water spray, or foam extinguishers may be used.

Product arising from burning or pyrolysis: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in a

fire, evolving noxious fumes

(e.g. oxides of nitrogen and

carbon and sodium containing compounds). However, there is

no experimental evidence to support the anticipated

combustion products.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and a self-contained breating

apparatus must be worn.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions:           Use personal protective equipment.

Environmental precautions: Prevent product from entering drains.

Methods for cleaning up:      Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal.

Handling and storage

Handling:

Safe handling advice:            No special precautions required.

Advice on protection:           Avoid dust formation. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

against fire and explosion

Storage:

Requirements for storage:   Keep container tightly closed. To maintain product quality, do not store in heat or direct sunlight. Keep in a dry, cool and  

areas and containers            well ventilated place.
