First-aid measures

General information:

Seek medical advice immediately

Ensure that the First Aid Personnel are aware of the product involved, and take precautions to protect

themselves (e.g. wear personal protection equipment).

Remove affected person from danger area, lay him down.

Remove soiled or soaked clothing immediately

Keep warm, calm and covered up.

After inhalation:

Summon a doctor immediately.

Remove the casualty into fresh air and keep him calm.

After contact with skin:

Summon a doctor immediately.

In case of contact with skin wash off immediately with polyethylene glycol 400, then with plenty of water

After contact with eyes:

Summon a doctor immediately.

In case of contact with the eyes rinse thoroughly with plenty of water or with an eye-cleaning solution.

After ingestion:

When swallowed seek medical aid immediately and show the physician the packaging or the label of

the packaging.

Advice to doctor:

Symptoms

Headache

Disorientation

Nausea

Cyanosis (change of colour of lips and finger nails to blue gray).

Methaemoglobinaemia

Hazards:

Risk of deterioration due to consumption of alcohol.

Treatment

Monitor blood circulation.

Keep under medical supervision for at least 48 hours.

If necessary, give oxygen.

In the event of cyanosis give vitamin C, oxygen, keep out of sun.

Against Methaemoglobin anemia: Give 300 ml Toluidine blue intravenously or 1 to 2 mg/kg Methylene

blue intravenously.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:

alcohol-resistant foam

dry powder

carbon dioxide

water spray jet

Extinguishing media that must not be used for safety reasons:

Full water jet

Special hazards from the substance itself, its combustion products or from its vapours:

In case of fires, hazardous combustion gases are formed: Carbon monoxide (CO)

Hydrogen chloride (HCl)

Nitrous gases (NOx)

Special protective equipment for firefighting:

Do not inhale explosion and/or combustion gases

Use self-contained breathing apparatus

Further information:

Fire residues and contaminated firefighting water must be disposed of in accordance with the local

regulations.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions:

Use personal protective clothing.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Remove persons to safety.

Environmental precautions:

Do not allow entry to drains,water courses or soil

Contain contaminated water/firefighting water

If the product gets into drains, inform the relevant authorities immediately.

Methods for cleaning up/taking up:

Take up with suitable equipment and if necessary collect in closed containers

Avoid raising dust

Clean contaminated floors and objects thoroughly, observing environmental regulations

When picked up, treat material as prescribed under heading "Disposal".

Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with the regulations.

Containers in which spilt substance has been collected must be adequately labelled

Handling and storage

This substance should be handled under strictly controlled conditions as specified in REACH Article 18 (4).

Site documentation to support safe handling arrangements in accordance with risk-based management

system should be available at each manufacturing site.

Advice on safe handling:

Provide good ventilation of working area (local exhaust ventilation if necessary).

Avoid the formation and deposition of dust.

Provide exhaust ventilation if dust is formed.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion:

In principle, with organic products which are -intentionally or unintentionally- in powdered form, the

danger of a dust explosion should be kept in mind.

Take precautionary measures against electrostatic charges - earthing necessary during loading

operations.

Keep away from sources of ignition - refrain from smoking.

Dust can form an explosive mixture with air.

Observe the general rules of industrial fire protection

Temperature class : T2

Dust explosion class : ST1 Capable of dust explosion

Requirements for storage rooms and vessels:

Keep only in the original container

Advice on storage compatibility

Do not store or transport together with foodstuffs

Further information on storage conditions

Keep container tightly closed in a well-ventilated place

Protect from heat and direct sunlight

Exposure controls / personal protection

This substance should be handled under strictly controlled conditions as specified in REACH Article 18 (4).

Site documentation to support safe handling arrangements in accordance with risk-based management

system should be available at each manufacturing site.

General protective measures:

Do not inhale dust

Avoid contact with eyes and skin

Hygiene measures

Do not eat, drink or smoke during work time.

Remove soiled or soaked clothing immediately and clean thoroughly before using again.

Garments that cannot be cleaned must be destroyed (burnt).

Keep away from foodstuffs and beverages.

Clean hands and face during work intervals and after work

Avoid contact of the substance.

Respiratory protection : Dust mask

Hand protection : Nitrile rubber applied on knitted cotton for mechanical stress.

Leather gloves

Because this glove is used only for mechanical protection, the

minimum breakthrough time and thickness are not relevant to safety.

For long-term exposure:

Butyl rubber gloves.

These types of protective gloves are offered by various

manufacturers. Please note the manufacturers´ detailed statements,

especially about the minimum thickness and the minimum

breakthrough time. Consider also the particular working conditions

under which the gloves are being used., With solid dry substances

permeation is not to be expected, therefore the breakthrough-time for

this protective glove has not been measured.

Eye protection : tightly fitting safety glasses

Body protection : protective clothing

Stability and reactivity

Thermal decomposition : from 290 °C

Method : DTA

Hazardous reactions:

When handled and stored appropriately no dangerous reactions are known

Hazardous decomposition products:

Nitrous gases

Hydrogen chloride (HCl)

Disposal considerations

Product:

Special waste incineration plant, after consultation with operators

Observe local authority regulations

Uncleaned packaging:
