Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Move exposed subject to fresh air. If breathing is difficult

or  ceases, ensure and maintain ventilation. Give oxygen as

appropriate. The exposed subject should be kept warm and at

rest. Obtain medical attention in cases of known or

possible over exposure.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Wash immediately with clean and gently flowing water.

Continue for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention.

Emergency measure - Skin: Using appropriate personal protective equipment, remove

contaminated clothing and flush exposed area with large

amounts of water. Obtain medical attention if skin reaction

occurs, which may be immediate or delayed.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Do not attempt to give any solid or liquid by mouth if the

exposed subject is unconscious or semi-conscious. Obtain

medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water, dry powder or foam

Product arising from burning: Carbon and nitrogen oxides.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing

apparatus must be worn.

Fight the fire from a safe distance or protected location.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Fence or cordon the affected area and do not allow

individuals to touch or walk through the spilled material

unless wearing appropriate protective equiment. Avoid dust

generation.

Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, surface drainage

systems and poorly ventilated areas. If spill is outdoors,

cover with plastic sheet to minimise spreading or contact

with rain.

Collect and place in a suitable, properly labelled container

for recovery or disposal. Following removal of spillage,

wash down spillage area with copious amounts of water only

if waste water can be directed to an on-site waste water

treatment system.

No specific decontamination or detoxification procedures

have been identified for this material. Consider the use of

water, detergent solutions, or other soluble solvents for

clean-up and decontamination operations.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be stored, handled and used under

conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with

any local regulations in order to avoid exposure.

Engineering controls are necessary to reduce exposure to the

substance.

When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled

appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn.

Furthermore, when respiratory protective equipment has to be

nused, it must be capable of adequately controlling

exposure, be suitable for the purpose.

These measures should be regarded as a minimum.

Storage: Keep in tightly closed containers or packages away from

sources of ignition.

Avoid prolonged storage at elevated temperatures (greater

than room temperature, approximately 20°C).

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Manufacture: Double polyethylene bag in plastic drums.

Use: The substance is packaged in inner and outer polythene

bags. Then it is placed in steel inner kegs with lids and

finally outer fibreboard kegs with lids.

SpecialProvisions

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: None known.

Chemical reaction with water: None which is hazardous.

Dust explosion: Under normal conditions of use this material does not

present a significant explosion hazard. However, like most

organic compounds it is combustible and may form a dust

explosion if widely dispersed in air.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Recovery from minor spillages or accidental discharge is not

economically or technically feasible, and such waste

material will be disposed of by incineration. In principle,

it may be possible to recover larger spillages of

uncontaminated material for subsequent use.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The notification tests have shown that the substance is

classified as harmful by acute oral ingestion. No chemical

treatment is practicable to neutralise the hazardous health

properties.

The dust hazard will be minimised by appropriate handling

and storage.

No chemical treatment is practicable to neutralise the

hazardous environmental properties.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not recommended.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be disposed of by incineration by burning

under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment

processor in accordance with local regulations. Stack gases

should be scrubbed, because noxious fumes (eg. carbon and

nitrogen oxides) could be formed.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged directly

to the sewage system or the aqueous environment.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - others: None.
