After eye contact: Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor.
After swallowing: If symptoms persist consult doctor.
Most important symptoms and effects,
both acute and delayed No further relevant information available.
Eyes: Dust may irritate eyes mechanically.
Hazards and systemic effects: General information for cyano-compounds: Highest alert!
Hydrocyanic acid may be released!
Possible routes of intake: Intake by swallowing or inhalation of dust.
Chronic effects: Persistant exposition of inhalable dust above threshold limits may cause cough, shortness of breath or chronic pneumonia.
Medicinal indications which may be aggravated by exposition: Breathing in of dust or vapours may complicate existing respiratory
disease or other medical indications like emphysema or asthma.
Exposition may also aggravate existing skin disease or eye complaint.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:
Intoxication is determined by formation of hydrocyanic acid.
Antidote: Hydroxycobalamine (vitamine B12, Cyanokit (R)).
Artificial respiration with 100% oxygen.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing agents: CO2, powder or water spray. Fight larger fires with water spray or alcohol resistant foam.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: The possibility of formation of explosive dust/air mixtures under certain
conditions should be basically considered during handling and
processing.
In case of fire, the following can be released:
Carbon monoxide (CO)
Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
Hydrogen chloride (HCl)
Advice for firefighters
Protective equipment: Wear self-contained respiratory protective device.
Chemical resistant protective suit.
Under the protective suit a fire protective suit according to EN 469 should be applied.
Dispose of fire debris and contaminated fire fighting water in accordance with official regulations.
Collect contaminated fire fighting water separately. It must not enter the sewage system.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Wear protective clothing.
Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
Do not breathe dust.
Access only for trained personnel with personal protective equipment.
Use respiratory protective device against the effects of fumes/dust/aerosol.
Avoid spillage of product into the environment.
Avoid formation of dust.
Implementation of further measures based on existing emergency plans.
Environmental precautions: Keep contaminated washing water and dispose of appropriately.
Inform respective authorities in case of seepage into water course or sewage system.
Do not allow undiluted product or large quantities of it to reach ground water, water course or sewage system.
Methods and material for containment
and cleaning up: Pick up mechanically. If formation of dust cannot be avoided use respiratory filter device.
Dispose contaminated material as waste.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling: Empty containers must not be used for other products.
Contaminated protective equipment should be cleaned before taking it off.
Any unavoidable deposit of dust must be completely removed.
Ensure good ventilation/exhaustion at the workplace.
Fill only in dedicated and assigned containers.
Keep containers tightly sealed.
Information about storage in one common storage facility: Store away from oxidising agents.
Specific end use(s): This product is exclusively dedicated for the application as isolated intermediate under strictly controlled conditions according to
Article 17 and 18 of Regulation EC 1907/2006.
