Administrative data

First-aid measures

Eye contact:

- rinse immediately with tap water for 10 minutes - open eyelids forcibly

- consult physician

Skin contact:

- remove immediately contaminated clothes, wash affected skin with water and soap

- do not use any solvents

Inhalation:  

- remove the casualty to fresh air and keep him/her calm

Note to physician:

- treat symptomatically

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media - water spray jet, dry powder, foam, carbon dioxide

Specific hazards - consider dust explosion hazard

Protection of fire-fighters - precipitate gases/vapours/mists with water spray

Accidental release measures

Methods for cleaning up :

- collect solids (avoid dust formation) and hand over to waste removal

- flush afterwards with plenty of water

Handling and storage

Handling

Technical measures:

- processing in closed systems, if possible superposed by inert gas (e.g. nitrogen)

- local exhaust ventilation necessary

- avoid impact, friction and electrostatic charging

- avoid dust formation; high dust explosion hazard

Suitable materials:

- stainless steel, aluminium, glass, polyethylene

Storage

Storage conditions:

- room temperature

- protected from humidity

Validity:

- 24 months, 15 to 25 °C, in the unopened original container, see expiry date on the label, after opening the container, the contents

should be used within a short period
