Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Immediately move to a place with fresh air. Symptomatic

treatment. Give artificial respiration if necessary. Seek

medical attention.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Immediately rinse out eyes thoroughly with running water.

Seek medical advice if irritation persists.

Emergency measure - Skin: Immediately rinse the affected area thoroughly with soap and

running water. Seek medical advice if irritation persists.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Rinse out mouth and drink plenty of water. Do not induce

vomiting. Symptomatic treatment. Call for medical help

immediately.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: The material is incombustible. In the event of a fire in the

vicinity, use the the extinguisher suitable for the

condition of the surrounding fire.

Product arising from burning: Not applicable as the material is incombustible.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing

apparatus must be worn.

Fight the fire from a safe distance or protected location.

Accidental release measures

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

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment to prevent

flying items from coming in contact with your skin. This

protective equipment must conform to the relevant national

or international standards, as mentioned in section 2.3.10.

Wash the spillage area with water and an appropriate

detergent. 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 substance containers.

Dispose of waste material in accordance with local

regulations.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance will be handled and used under conditions of

good industrial hygiene and in conformity with any local

regulations in order to avoid exposure.

Engineering controls are necessary in order to reduce

exposure to the substance.

When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled,

appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn.

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 and breathing 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 EN149 FFP1.

These measures should be regarded as a minimum.

Storage: Store in tightly close containers. Keep them in a cool, dark

place and always closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: The substance will imported into the EU as a masterbatch, in

20 kg-sized polyethylene bags.

present a significant explosion hazard. However, it may form

a dust explosion if widely dispersed in air.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Recovery from minor spillages or accidental discharge is not

economically feasible, and such waste material will be

disposed of by incineration and landfill.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers or spillages of material may be

disposed of by sanitary landfills at an authorised tip in

accordance with local regulations.

Alternatively, the material may be outsourced to sanitary

landfills agencies with permission by their local and

prefecture governor.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Not applicable as the material is incombustible.

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

to the sewage system or the aqueous environment. However,

adverse effects on sewage treatment systems would be

unlikely, as the substance is insoluble in water and

therefore, there is no evident effect on the environment.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None.

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: None.
