First-aid measures
• After inhalation: If metal vapours or solid dusts have been inhaled:Get the affected person out in the fresh air and call a doctor.• After skin contact: Foreign bodies which have penetrated the skin must be removedand the wound cleaned thoroughly.Remove contaminated clothing.If skin irritation continues, consult a doctor.• After eye contact: Foreign bodies must be removed, consult a doctor if necessary.
Fire-fighting measures
• Suitable extinguishing agents: Dry sand, metal fire powder or carbon powder• For safety reasons unsuitableextinguishing agents: WaterCarbon dioxide• Special hazards caused by thesubstance, its products ofcombustion or resulting gases: Can form explosive gas-air mixtures.• Protective equipment: Wear self-contained respiratory protective device.
Accidental release measures
• Person-related safetyprecautions: Use respiratory protective device against the effects of fumes/dust/aerosol.• Measures for environmentalprotection: Do not allow product to reach sewage system or any watercourse.• Measures for cleaning/collecting: Do not flush with water or aqueous cleansing agentsWhen cold, sweep it up carefully.Avoid dust development.
Handling and storage
• Handling:• Information for safe handling: Keep receptacles tightly sealed.Prevent formation of dust.Fill only in inert gas.Ensure good ventilation/exhaustion at the workplace.Take note of emission threshold.• Information about fire - andexplosion protection: Keep ignition sources away - Do not smoke.Protect against electrostatic charges.Inflammable and explosive dust-air mixtures can develop incombination with air.• Storage:• Requirements to be met bystorerooms and receptacles: Containers must be clearly and indelibly identified.• Information about storage inone common storage facility: Store away from foodstuffs.• Further information aboutstorage conditions: Store in cool, dry conditions in well sealed receptacles.• Storage class: Comply with on-site storage guidelines for substances able toheat up spontaneously (pyrophoric).• Class according to regulationon flammable liquids: Not applicable

Exposure controls / personal protection
• Additional information aboutdesign of technical facilities: Provide a suitable suction with filter and good ventilation of the working area for all processing steps.Suitable breathing apparatus must be used (see personal safety equipment) for repair and maintenance work on suction systems,especially when changing the filters.• Ingredients with limit values that require monitoring at the workplace:
7440-48-4 cobalt
ERB (Germany) 0.5 μg/m³ (A) bzw. 5μg/m³ (A)
MAK (Germany) inhalable fraction; see Abschn.XIII
• DNELs
DNELs for OSH purposesIn Germany, occupational exposure limits (AGW) of the Technical Rules on
Hazardous Substances (TRGS) 900 continue to constitute workplace atmospheric limit values that
are binding upon employers. Should no AGW and for example no maximum workplace concentrati
on (MAK value) of the German Research Foundation (DFG) be available, the employer must also
consider the DNEL during risk assessment.(Source: Institut für Arbeitsschutz der Deutschen Gesetz

Stability and reactivity
• Thermal decomposition /conditions to be avoided: It does not degrade if properly used with a protective gas (argon).Attention:At high temperatures the substance has an exothermic reactionin combination with nitrogen.• Materials to be avoided: Aqueous media (e.g. acid, alkaline solutions, water), substanceswith an oxidizing effect• Dangerous reactions Hydrogen is released when it comes into contact with water, andexplosive gaseous mixtures can develop.In combination with air or atmospheres with an oxidizing effectfine powders can develop spontaneous heating or becomepyrophoric.• Dangerous decompositionproducts: No dangerous decomposition products known.
Disposal considerations
• Recommendation Observe offical regulations.• Uncleaned packaging:• Recommendation: Empty contaminated packagings thoroughly. They may berecycled after thorough and proper cleaning.Packagings that may not be cleansed are to be disposed of inthe same manner as the product.
