Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. In case of symptom of ill-health, consult a doctor. The symptoms may appear after several days.
Skin contact: Wash with soap and water.
Eye contact: Irrigate with copious amounts of low-pressure water. If irritation persists seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. If swallowed, induce vomiting under medical supervision.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Carbon dioxide, foam or dry chemical.
Extinguishing media which shall not be used for safety reasons: Never use water near molten metal.
Fire and explosive properties: The metal and the oxides are not combustible.
Specific hazards: Lead oxides and antimony oxides may be formed if the metal is overheated.
Protective equipment for fire fighters: Self-contained breathing apparatus with full-face piece.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions: Do not inhale fumes or dust. Use personal protective equipment.
Waste measures: Vacuum or sweep up spillage of metals and oxides. Collect in separate container. Avoid discharge to drainage.
Handling and storage
Handling: Handle lead material in such a way, that distribution of dust is minimized. Use proper industrial hygiene. Do not inhale fumes or dust.
Storage: No special precautions

Exposure controls / personal protection
Limitation of exposure at working place: Use proper industrial hygiene and ventilation.
Technical measures: Avoid overheating the metal since oxides will be formed more easily. Local exhaust is recommended for melting and where oxides are handled.
Personal protective equipment: Use appropriate protective equipment.

Stability and reactivity
Stability: The product is stable under normal circumstances.
Conditions to avoid: Harmful fumes of lead when the metal is overheated.
Reactivity/Hazardous decomposition products: In presence of moisture and air (oxygen) a slow oxidation of the surface appears. Lead hydroxide oxide is formed, which is slightly soluble in water.
Disposal considerations
General: Waste from handling the product is classified as hazardous waste. Collect spillage of metals and oxides in separate container.
EWC-code: 06 04 05, Wastes containing other heavy metals.
10 04 05, Other particulates and dust.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
