Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
If inhaled: Move to fresh air. Make the victim blow his nose. Seek medical advice.
In case of skin contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If inflammation occurs, alert a physician.
In case of eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. In case of irritation consult an occulist.
If swallowed: Do not induce vomiting. Make the victim rinse his mouth with water. Seek medical advice.
Symptoms: Irritations. Cough. Headache. Nausea, vomiting.
Treatment: No data available. Treat symptomatically.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Dry powder. Carbonic snow (or dry ice).
Unsuitable extinguishing media: Strong water jet.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
In case of fire, the product may emit toxic and/or irritating fumes.
Advice for firefighters:
Special protective equipment: Use self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear full protective suit.
Further information: Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. Avoid discharging extinguishing water in the environment.
Accidental release measures
Environmental precautions: Avoid spreading of product.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:
General advice: Sweep and shovel the solid product into a container specially adapted for its recovery or destroying (avoiding dust formation). Close and label thoroughly.
Cleaning of contaminated zone: After cleaning up the product, rinse the polluted area with water.
Elimination of recovered materials: Deliver to the Environmental service of the factory or to any specialized and approved disposal company.
Additional advice: Intervention of special services recommended.
Handling and storage
Advice on safe handling (industrial scale): Local ventilation and emission point dust extraction. Take precautionary measures against electrostatic loading. Earth vessels and equipment well.
Advice on safe handling (laboratory scale): Handling in a hood recommended.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Requirements for storage rooms and vessels: Keep in a well-ventilated place.
Advice on common storage: Keep away from oxidising agents, strongly alkaline and strongly acid materials in order to avoid exothermic reactions.
Further information on storage conditions: Keep in a well closed container, away from moisture and light.
Storage temperature: Keep away from heat.
Advised packaging material: Glass, polyethylene, polypropylene.
Sensitivity
Humidity: Contact with water liberates extremely flammable gases.
Air: Sensitive to oxidation.
