First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove patient to fresh air. Symptomatic treatment.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Rinse eye with wash fountain or fresh water to cleanse eye.
If irritation persists for more than 30 minutes seek medical
attention.
Emergency measure - Skin: Wash affected area with soap and water.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water, dry chemical and foam may be used.

Product arising from burning: The substance is a flame retardant. It is not flammable,
combustible or explosive.

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: Wear suitable protective clothing (see 2.3.1).

Avoid dust formation. Carefully sweep or shovel the spillage
to suitably labelled waste containers, or use a sealed
industrial vacuum machine.


Dispose of waste material at a landfill facility in
accordance with local regulations.


Avoid contamination of water courses and drains during

clearing up operations. Advise local water authority that

none of the affected water should be used for irrigation or
for the abstraction of potable water until natural dilution
returns the boron value to its normal environmental
background level.

Handling and storage

Handling: Avoid dust formation and ensure adequate ventilation. The
airborne dust concentration should be kept below the
nuisance level of 10 mg/m3.

Wear protective gloves (standard prEN374), goggles (BS2092
or prEN166), protective clothing (EN368) and a respirator
(EN149 FFP1).

Storage: Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: Reaction with strong reducing agents, such as metal hydrides
or alkali metals, will generate hydrogen gas, which could
create an explosive hazard.

Chemical reaction with water: None, but exposure to moisture may cause caking.

Dust explosion: Not anticipated.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Recovery for recycling is not possible.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: None known.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers, neat substance or spillages mixed
with inert material (eg. sand or soil) may be disposed of
by landfill at an authorised tip in accordance with local
regulations. (A650)

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Not applicable.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged directly to
the sewage system or the aqueous environment.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Recovery for reuse is not possible.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - others: Polymers containing the substance may be disposed of as
domestic waste.
