Fire-fighting measures
Recommended extinguishing agent: Water spray, extinguishing powder, carbon dioxide, foam, dry
powder
Product arising from burning: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, other toxic gases Thermal decomposition may lead to formation of phenol and its derivatives.
Product determined by test: N
Protective equipment: Firemen have to wear self-contained breathing apparatus; fight fire in early stages if safe to do so. If possible, remove big-bags from danger area.

Accidental release measures
Emergency measures in case of spillage: After spillage: take up mechanically, avoid dust formation.
Handling and storage
Handling: Technical protective measures : store in a cool, dry place.
Take measures to prevent dust formation; remove any dust
with air extractors where it is formed.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Big-Bags with PE-Inliner, protected against static charges.

Special provisions / remarks
- Remarks:
- Transport: No dangerous cargo, slightly smelling, keep separated from
foodstuffs
Transport is possible without increased danger as long as attention is paid to the usual measures such as stack height, protection against falling and correct labelling. In the case of partially fractured containers, these must be kept closed on any internal transport, in order to prevent spillage.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Technical measures: Local exhaust ventilation is required for sampling and (dis)charging operations to control airborne levels below the exposure guidelines.
Organisational measures: Procedural and/or control technologies are required to minimise emissions and the resulting exposure during cleaning and maintenance procedures or if there is a risk of the occupational exposure limit being exceeded. The substance is only available to industrial and professional users and is not made available to the do-it-yourself market.
Respiratory protection: Wearing a filtering half mask with at least an FFP2 particle filter according to DIN EN 149 is required in presence of product dust.
Hand protection: Wearing of permeation resistant gloves with suitable materials for safety gloves is required. According to DIN EN 374-3 those are laminate gloves build-up of PE/EVOH/PE (PE = Polyethylene; EVOH = ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymer). Conditionally suitable materials for protective gloves following DIN EN 374-3 are nitrile rubber – NBR, with thickness of >= 0.35 mm. Breakthrough time of these gloves has not been tested. Disposal of gloves after contamination is recommended.
Eye protection: Wearing of eye/face protection is required. Chemical goggles should be consistent with EN 166 or equivalent.
Skin and body protection: Wearing of suitable protective clothing is required.
Hygiene measures: Keep away from foodstuffs, drinks and tobacco. Wash hands before breaks and at end of work and use skin-protecting ointment. Keep working clothes separately. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Wash thoroughly after open handling of the product.

Stability and reactivity
Danger other than fire: Precautions should generally be taken against electrostatic
charges according to the equipment used and the way the
product is handled and packaged.
Chemical reaction with water: None
Dust explosion: Dust explosion is possible with solid products.
Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations
Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance used in the industrial production of polycarbonates. Once processed into this polymer, the substance cannot be recovered. On the other hand, polycarbonate finished articles after their practical use cycle are suitable for mechanical recycling processes (such recycling projects are performed in a large scale). Therefore, the public at large has no need to handle the substance, nor to recover, recycle, neutralize, discharge or to incinerate it.
Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The substance is exclusively used in the industrial production of polycarbonates. Once processed into tis polymer, the substance cannot be recovered. On the other hand, polycarbonate finished articles after their practical use cycle are suitable for mechanical recycling processes (such recycling projects are performed in a large scale). Therefore, the public at large has no need to handle the substance, nor to recover, recycle, neutralize, discharge or to incinerate it.
Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Dumping at waste disposal sites insulated to prevent seepage of liquids into the ground is possible in accordance with legal regulations.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Incineration is the recommended way of disposal.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: If at all only small amounts get into waste water. They will be separated by filtration/sedimentation or by precipitation or adsorption onto the sludge during treatment in the waste water treatment plant.
