First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures:

Remove contaminated clothing.

If inhaled:

Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air. If difficulties occur after dust has been inhaled, remove to fresh

air and seek medical attention.

On skin contact:

Wash thoroughly with soap and water.

On contact with eyes:

Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open,

consult an eye specialist.

On ingestion:

Immediately rinse mouth and then drink plenty of water, do not induce vomiting, seek medical

attention.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:

Symptoms: Further important symptoms and effects are so far not known.

The most important known symptoms and effects are described in the labelling (see section 2) and/or

in section 11.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:

Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific

antidote.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media:

Suitable extinguishing media:

water spray, carbon dioxide, foam, dry powder

Unsuitable extinguishing media for safety reasons:

water jet

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, toxic gas

The substances/groups of substances mentioned can be released in case of fire.

Advice for fire-fighters: Special protective equipment:

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.

Further information:

Collect contaminated extinguishing water separately, do not allow to reach sewage or effluent

systems. Dispose of fire debris and contaminated extinguishing water in accordance with official

regulations.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Use personal protective clothing. Avoid dust formation.

Sources of ignition should be kept well clear.

Environmental precautions:

Do not empty into drains. Do not discharge into the subsoil/soil.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

For small amounts: Sweep/shovel up. Dispose of contaminated material as prescribed.

For large amounts: Sweep/shovel up. Dispose of contaminated material as prescribed.

Avoid raising dust.

Reference to other sections:

Information regarding exposure controls/personal protection and disposal considerations can be found

in section 8 and 13.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:

Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas. Handle and open container with care. Avoid dust

formation.

Protection against fire and explosion:

Prevent electrostatic charge - sources of ignition should be kept well clear - fire extinguishers should

be kept handy. Dust can form an explosive mixture with air. Avoid dust formation. Containers should

be earthed during decanting operations.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Segregate from acids and bases. Segregate from strong oxidizing agents. Segregate from foods and

animal feeds.

Further information on storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated

place. Keep only in the original container.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Control parameters:

Components with workplace control parameters:

The nuisance dust limit value is to be kept.

Exposure controls:

Personal protective equipment:

Respiratory protection:

Breathing protection if dusts are formed. Wear respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate.

Hand protection:

Suitable chemical resistant safety gloves (EN 374) also with prolonged, direct contact

(Recommended: Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN

374): E.g. nitrile rubber (0.4 mm), chloroprene rubber (0.5 mm), butyl rubber (0.7 mm) and other

Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types.

Eye protection:

Tightly fitting safety goggles (splash goggles) (e.g. EN 166)

General safety and hygiene measures:

Wearing of closed work clothing is required additionally to the stated personal protection equipment.

Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Do not breathe dust. When using, do not eat, drink or

smoke. Hands and/or face should be washed before breaks and at the end of the shift. At the end of

the shift the skin should be cleaned and skin-care agents applied.

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity:

No hazardous reactions if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated.

Corrosion to metals: Corrosive effects to metal are not anticipated.

Formation of

flammable gases:

Remarks: Forms no flammable gases in the

presence of water.

Chemical stability:

The product is stable if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated.

Peroxides: 0 %

The product does not contain peroxides.

Possibility of hazardous reactions:

The product may contain explosive fine dust or such dust may be produced by abrasion during

transport or product transfer.

Conditions to avoid:

Avoid dust formation. Avoid deposition of dust. Avoid all sources of ignition: heat, sparks, open flame.

Avoid electro-static charge.

Incompatible materials:

Substances to avoid:

strong acids, strong bases, strong oxidizing agents

Hazardous decomposition products:

Hazardous decomposition products:

nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides, toxic gases/vapours

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods

Incinerate in suitable incineration plant, observing local authority regulations.

The waste codes are manufacturer's recommendations based on the designated use of the product.

Other use and special waste disposal treatment on customer's location may require different

waste-code assigments.

Contaminated packaging: Contaminated packaging should be emptied as far as possible; then it can be passed on for recycling

after being thoroughly cleaned.
