Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove from potential source of exposure to fresh air. Seek

immediate medical advice.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Irrigate with copious amounts of water. If irritation occurs

seek medical advice.

Emergency measure - Skin: Wash with copious amounts of soap and water. If irritation

occurs seek medical advice.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: If ingested, do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical

advice.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water, carbon dioxide or chemical foam.

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in a

fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon and nitrogen

oxides).

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 conforming to

the relevant national or international standards, as

mentioned in section 2.3.10.

Avoid dust formation by damping down with water. Absorb

spillages of solutions with a suitable inert material (eg.

sand or soil). 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.

Clean the spillage area with soap and water.

Dispose of waste material in accordance with local

regulations by incineration.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be stored, 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 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 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 cool conditions. Keep substance wet at all times.

Substance should be handled in the humid state.

Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Drums (metallic) with polyethylene bag inserted.

SpecialProvisions

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: The substance will deflagrate in the dry state.

Chemical reaction with water: None.

Dust explosion: There is a potential dust explosion hazard from this organic

powder. The substance will deflagrate in the dry state.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Discharge to the environment will be minimal. Recovery from

minor spillages or accidental discharge is not economically

or technically feasible, and such waste material will be

disposed of by incineration. In principle, it may be

possible to recover larger spillages of uncontaminated

material for subsequent use.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The notification tests have shown that the substance is

dangerous to the environment, a skin sensitiser and there is

also a concern for potential mutagenicity.

No chemical treatment is practicable to neutralise the

hazardous health properties.

The dust hazard will be controlled by the use of appropriate

handling and storage measures, viz. it is required to be

water wetted.

No chemical treatment is practicable to neutralise the

hazardous environmental properties.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers or spillages of solutions mixed with

inert material (eg. sand or soil) will not be disposed of by

landfill.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be disposed of by incineration by burning

under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment

processor in accordance with local regulations. Stack gases

should be scrubbed, because noxious fumes (eg. carbon and

nitrogen oxides) could be formed.

The substance may deflagrate when dry.

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

the sewage system or the aqueous environment.
