First-aid measures

General advice:

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.

In case of splashes, remove contaminated clothing and plunge it into water immediately. Risk of ignition.

Dust inhalation: Move to fresh air. Oxygen or artificial respiration if needed. Keep under medical surveillance. In case of problems : Hospitalise.

Skin contact: Wash off immediately with plenty of water. If significant contact: Keep under medical surveillance. Hospitalise.

Eye contact:  Wash open eyes immediately, abundantly and thoroughly for at least 15 minutes. Consult an ophthalmologist immediately.

Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. Hospitalise.

Protection of first-aiders: Protective suit

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media: Water

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: At high temperature (decomposition),  Formation of  Oxygen (in large quantity).

Explosive when mixed with combustible material.

Precautions for fire-fighters: Specific methods:

Cool containers / tanks with water spray.  Ensure a system for the rapid emptying of containers. In case of fire nearby, remove exposed containers.

Special protective actions for fire-fighters: Wear a self contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Remove all sources of ignition. Do not smoke.

Environmental precautions: Do not release into the environment. Do not let product enter drains.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:

Recovery: Recover the product. Wash the remainder with water. Recover water for later processing

Neutralisation: Dilute with water.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling: Technical measures/Precautions:

Storage and handling precautions applicable to products: Solid. Dust forming. Oxidizers. Harmful. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery. Provide smooth and easily washable floor and walls. Provide showers, eye-baths. Provide water supplies near the point of use.

Hygiene measures: Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes. Do not smoke. Wash hands after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Store in well insulated area. Do not store near combustible materials. Store away from heat and ignition sources. Keep tightly closed. Provide electrical earthing and waterproof equipment. Provide an anti-corrosion protected electrical equipment in a bunded area.

Incompatible products: Ammonium nitrate, Organic materials, Combustible material, Metallic powders, sulphur compounds or phosphorus compounds (inflammation or explosion)

Packaging material:  Recommended: Metal drums with internal polyethylene coating
