Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Symptomatic treatment. If irritation occurs seek immediate

medical attention.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Rinse eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes.

Seek immediate medical attention if irritation occurs.

Emergency measure - Skin: Rinse skin thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes.

Seek immediate medical attention if irritation occurs.

Launder clothing before re-use.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Symptomatic treatment. Do not induce vomiting. Seek

immediate medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Dry powder or chemical, foam or water spray.

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

fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon, nitrogen and sulfur

oxides). However, there is no experimental evidence to

support these combustion products.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing

apparatus must be worn.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Evacuate personnel from the immediate vicinity.

Wear full personal protective equipment eg. air-fed suit

when handling the dry powder and a PVC one-piece suit and

boots when handling the wetted material.

Absorb spillages of solutions with a suitable inert material

(eg sand or soil). Carefully transfer the spillage to waste

containers, or use a sealed industrial vacuum machine.

Containers filled with waste material must be labelled in

the same way as the original containers.

Clean the spillage area with water and detergent. Avoid

directing the washings to the drain.

Dispose of waste material and washings by incineration in

accordance with local regulations.

Handling and storage

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

conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with

any local regulations in order to avoid exposure by skin,

eyes and inhalation.

Engineering controls are necessary to reduce exposure to the

substance.

When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled,

personal equipment such as an air-fed suit for handling the

dry powder and a PVC one-piece suit and boots when handling

the wetted material should be used.

Such protective equipment should conform to the appropriate

international or national standards as follows;

Chemical protective gloves to Standard EN374

Chemical protective clothing to Standard EN368

Eye protection to Standard EN166.

Furthermore, when respiratory protective equipment has to be

used, it must be capable of adequately controlling exposure,

be suitable for the purpose, and conform to the appropriate

international or national standards, such as a dust mask

conforming to EN405 FFP1.

These measures should be regarded as a minimum.

Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from flammable

material.

Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: 50L polythene lined kegs.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Discharge to the environment will be minimal. 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 not

considered hazardous to health.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers or spillages of solutions mixed with

inert material (eg sand or soil) may be disposed of by

landfill at an authorised tip in accordance with local

regulations.

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,

nitrogen and sulfur oxides) could be formed.

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

the sewage system or the aqueous environment. However

adverse effects on sewage treatment systems would be

unlikely.

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: Not applicable.
