Advice for firefighters

Special protective equipment for firefighters:

Self-contained breathing apparatus

Further information:

Wear suitable protective equipment.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Personal precautions:

Wear suitable protective equipment.

Ensure adequate ventilation.

Environmental precautions:

The product should not be allowed to enter drains, water courses or the soil.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Methods for cleaning up:

Pick up mechanically. Rinse away rest with water.

Avoid dust formation.

Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.

Risk of dust explosion.

Treat recovered material as described in the section "Disposal considerations".

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Advice on safe handling:

Handle and open container with care.

Avoid dust formation.

Avoid dust accumulation in enclosed space.

Provide adequate ventilation.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion:

Keep away sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against build-up of electrostatic charges, e.g earthing during loading and off-loading operations. Dust can form an explosive mixture in air.

Hygiene measures:

Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday. Use protective skin cream before handling the product. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse.
