First-aid measures
General information
Remove clothing where dust collected.
Ensure that the First Aid Personnel are aware of the product involved, and take precautions to protect themselves (e.g. wear personal protection equipment).
After inhalation
When inhaled remove to fresh air and seek medical aid.
After contact with skin
In case of contact with skin wash off immediately with plenty of water
If skin problems persist, seek medical advice.
After contact with eyes
Rinse immediately with gently running water for 15 minutes, maintaining eyelids open. Consult at once an ophthalmologist or a physician.
After ingestion
Do not induce vomiting. Keep patient at rest and obtain immediate medical assistance
If the victim is conscious, rinse the mouth immediately after ingestion, give nothing to drink.

Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Protection through wearing of tightly closed chemical protection suit and a self-contained breathing apparatus.
Keep away sources of ignition.
Environmental precautions
Contain contaminated water/firefighting water
Do not allow entry to drains,water courses or soil
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Pick up mechanically. Rinse away rest with water.
Avoid dust formation and electrical charging (sparking) because dust explosion might occur.
When picked up, treat material as prescribed under heading "Disposal".

Exposure controls / personal protection
General protective measures
Observe the usual precautions for handling chemicals.
Safety shower and eyewash must be in work area.
Avoid contact with eyes and skin
Do not inhale dust
Respiratory protection :
Use respiratory protection in case of insufficient exhaust ventilation or prolonged exposure
Multi-range filter ABEK/P3
Hand protection :
For long-term exposure:
Butyl rubber gloves.
For short-term exposure (splash protection):
Nitrile 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.
Eye protection :
Depending on the risk, wear sufficient eye protection (safety glasses with side protection or goggles, and if necessary, face shield.)
Body protection :
Protective overalls
