Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

General advice:

Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Inhalation:

Move to fresh air. Oxygen or artificial respiration if needed. Consult a physician.

Skin contact:

Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. In the case of skin irritation or allergic reactions see a physician. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.

Eye contact:

Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.

Ingestion:

Call a physician or poison control centre immediately. DO NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by a physician or poison control center. If victim is conscious: Rinse mouth with water.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:

Carbon dioxide (CO2), Foam,

Extinguishing media which shall not be used for safety reasons:

High volume water jet, (contamination risk),

Specific hazards during fire fighting:

Carbon dioxide (CO2) nitrogen oxides (NOx)

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:

In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Further information:

Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system. Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains. Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. (on small fires) If area is heavily exposed to fire and if conditions permit, let fire burn itself out since water may increase the area contaminated. Cool containers / tanks with water spray.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions:

Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Control access to area. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Use personal protective equipment. Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.

Environmental precautions:

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Use appropriate container to avoid environmental contamination. Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. If the spill area is porous, the contaminated material must be collected for subsequent treatment or disposal. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.

Methods for cleaning up:

Clean-up methods - small spillage Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal.

Clean-up methods - large spillage Prevent further leakage or spillage. Avoid dust formation. Contain spillage, pick up with an electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by wet-brushing and transfer to a container for disposal according to local regulations (see section 13).

Additional advice :

Never return spills in original containers for re-use. Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.

Handling and storage

Handling

Advice on safe handling:

Use only according to our recommendations. Use only clean equipment. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Do not breathe dust or spray mist. Wear personal protective equipment. For personal protection see section 8. Prepare the working solution as given on the label(s) and/or the user instructions. Use prepared working solution as soon as possible - Do not store. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Avoid exceeding of the given occupational exposure limits (see section 8).

Advice on protection against fire and explosion:

Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Avoid dust formation in confined areas. During processing, dust may form explosive mixture in air.

Storage

Requirements for storage areas and containers:

Store in original container. Keep in properly labelled containers. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Store in a place accessible by authorized persons only. Keep out of the reach of children. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.

Advice on common storage:
