First-aid measures

General advice: Take off immediately all contaminated clothing (including shoes).


Inhalation: Dust inhalation: Blow nose. Move to fresh air. If symptoms persist, call a physician.


Skin contact: Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. If skin irritation persists, call a physician.


Eye contact: Dusts : Wash well-open eyes immediately, abundantly and thoroughly with water. Remove particles remaining under the eyelids. If irritation persists, consult an ophthalmologist.


Ingestion: In case of problems : Consult a doctor.


Protection of first-aiders: Protective clothing and impermeable gloves. Dusts : In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.


Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed: Treatment: Treat symptomatically.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media


Suitable extinguishing media: Foam, carbon dioxide, dry powder extinguishers.


Unsuitable extinguishing media: High volume water jet


 


Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.
Formation of toxic products through combustion:, Carbon oxides, Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
In the presence of an ignition source:, Dust may form explosive mixture in air.


 


Advice for firefighters:


Specific methods: Keep containers and surroundings cool with water spray. Ensure a system for the rapid emptying of containers. In case of fire nearby, remove the bags.


f toxic products through combustion:, Carbon oxidesSpecial protective actions for fire-fighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Prohibit all sources of sparks and ignition - Do not smoke. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and inhalation of dust. Wear a dust mask and safety glasses/goggles if necessary. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment

Environmental precautions: Should not be released into the environment. Do not let product enter drains.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:

Recovery: Shovel into suitable container for disposal. Sweep up to prevent slipping hazard. No sparking tools should be used.

Elimination: Destroy the product by incineration (in accordance with local and national regulations).

Reference to other sections: None.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:

Technical measures/Precautions:

Storage and handling precautions applicable to products: Solid. DUST FORMING, forming EXPLOSIVE mixtures with air(In the presence of an ignition source). Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery and at places where dust can be generated. Provide showers, eye-baths Provide water supplies near the point of use. Provide electrical earthing of equipment.

Safe handling advice:

Avoid dust accumulation in enclosed space. Avoid creating dust. In case of dust formation, wear a dust mask. Avoid charging as a dust shower – risk of product flammability. Prohibit all sources of sparks and ignition - Do not smoke. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment

Hygiene measures:

Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Avoid breathing dust. Wash hands after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Keep tightly closed in a dry and cool place. Store in original container. Store away from heat and ignition sources. Provide electrical earthing of equipment and electrical equipment usable in explosive atmospheres.

Incompatible products: Strong oxidizing agents

Packaging material: Recommended: Metals. To be avoided: Plastic materials

Specific end use(s): None.
