First-aid measures
First-aid measures general : Check the vital functions. Unconscious: maintain adequate airway and respiration. Respiratory
arrest: artificial respiration or oxygen. Cardiac arrest: perform resuscitation. Victim conscious
with laboured breathing: half-seated. Victim in shock: on his back with legs slightly raised.
Vomiting: prevent asphyxia/aspiration pneumonia. Prevent cooling by covering the victim (no
warming up). Keep watching the victim. Give psychological aid. Keep the victim calm, avoid
physical strain. Depending on the victim's condition: doctor/hospital.
First-aid measures after inhalation : Remove the victim into fresh air.
First-aid measures after skin contact : Wash immediately with lots of water (15 minutes)/shower. Soap may be used.
First-aid measures after eye contact : Rinse immediately with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Take victim to an ophthalmologist. Do
not apply neutralizing agents.
First-aid measures after ingestion : Rinse mouth with water. Ingestion of large quantities: immediately to hospital. Call Poison
Information Centre (www.who.int/ipcs/poisons/centre/directory/en).
Fire-fighting measures
Fire hazard : DIRECT FIRE HAZARD. Combustible. In finely divided state: increased fire hazard. INDIRECT
FIRE HAZARD. Temperature above flashpoint: higher fire/explosion hazard.
Explosion hazard : No supplementary information available.
Reactivity : Upon combustion CO and CO2 are formed. Violent to explosive reaction with (strong) oxidizers.
Violent exothermic reaction with (strong) bases: pressure rise and possible bursting of
container.
General measures : Mark the danger area. Prevent dust cloud formation, e.g. by wetting. No naked flames.
Exposure to fire/heat: keep upwind. Exposure to heat: have neighbourhood close doors and
windows. In case of dust production: keep upwind. Dust production: have neighbourhood close
doors and windows. In case of dust production: stop engines and no smoking. In case of dust
production: no naked flames or sparks. Dust: spark-/explosionproof appliances/lighting
equipment. Wash contaminated clothes.
Accidental release measures
General measures Mark the danger area - Prevent dust cloud formation, e.g. by wetting - No naked
flames - Exposure to fire/heat: keep upwind - Exposure to heat: have neighbourhood
close doors and windows - In case of dust production: keep upwind - Dust production:
have neighbourhood close doors and windows - In case of dust production: stop
engines and no smoking - In case of dust production: no naked flames or sparks -
Dust: spark-/explosionproof appliances/lighting equipment - Wash contaminated
clothes
Personal protection (Emergency response)
Gloves - Face-shield - Protective clothing - Heat/fire exposure: compressed
air/oxygen apparatus - Dust cloud production: compressed air/oxygen apparatus -
Dust cloud production: dust-tight suit - See "Material-Handling" to select protective
clothing
Handling the product Comply with the legal requirements - Measure the concentration in the air regularly -
Carry operations in the open/under local - exhaust/ventilation or with respiratory
protection - Reduce/avoid exposure and/or contact - Avoid raising dust - Clean
contaminated clothing - Keep container tightly closed - Keep away from naked
flames/heat - Finely divided: spark- and explosionproof appliances - Finely divided:
keep away from ignition sources/sparks - Powdered form: no compressed air for
pumping over
Leak Contain released substance, pump into suitable containers - Consult "Materialhandling"
to select material of containers - Plug the leak, cut off the supply - Knock
down/dilute dust cloud with water spray - Powdered form: no compressed air for
pumping over spills
Disposal Stop dust cloud by humidifying - Powdered: do not use compressed air for pumping over spills -
Scoop solid spill into closing containers - See "Material-handling" for
suitable container materials - Clean contaminated surfaces with an excess of water -
Wash clothing and equipment after handling
Handling and storage
Handling temperature : ≥ 10 °C above melting point
Prohibitions on mixed storage : KEEP SUBSTANCE AWAY FROM: oxidizing agents. (strong) bases.
Storage area : Store in a dry area. Meet the legal requirements. Store at room temperature.
Special rules on packaging : SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: closing. correctly labelled. meet the legal requirements. Secure
fragile packagings in solid containers.
Packaging materials : SUITABLE MATERIAL: stainless steel. aluminium. glass. steel with plastic inner lining.
