Administrative data

First-aid measures

General advice : Take off all contaminated clothing immediately.

Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.

If inhaled : Move to fresh air.

Consult a physician after significant exposure.

In case of skin contact : Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water.

for firefighters

: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Further information : Standard procedure for chemical fires.

Accidental release measures

Precautions for safe handling

Advice on safe handling : Avoid formation of dust and aerosols.

Handle with care to avoid abrasion or breakage.

Advice on protection against

fire and explosion

: In case of inappropriate handling, spent catalyst can be selfheating

when in contact with air.

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity

No dangerous reaction known under conditions of normal use.

Chemical stability

No decomposition if stored and applied as directed.

Possibility of hazardous reactions

Hazardous reactions : Metal catalysts can form Metal carbonyl M x(CO)y in the

presence of carbon monoxide. Metal carbonyl is highly

flammable and highly toxic and can cause cyanosis and

chemical pneumonia which can be fatal. Symptoms may be

delayed for several hours or days. Extreme care and

specialized handling is required if carbon monoxide is present

in the catalyst process. Hazardous reactions are possible at

temperatures including, but not limited to, ambient

temperatures depending on pressure and carbon monoxide

concentrations.

Conditions to avoid

Conditions to avoid : Avoid dust formation.

Incompatible materials

Materials to avoid : Acids and bases

Hazardous decomposition products

No decomposition if stored and applied as directed., In case of fire hazardous decomposition

products may be produced such as:, see heading 5

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods

Product : Refer to manufacturer/supplier for information on

recovery/recycling.

Used catalysts may have different hazards or properties than

the original product. This SDS does not apply to used

catalysts.

Contaminated packaging : Dispose of as unused product.
