Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove exposed person to fresh air. If person is not

breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is

difficult administer oxygen. Seek immediate medical

attention.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Hold eyelids apart and flush with plenty of water for 15

minutes. Seek immediate medical attention.

Emergency measure - Skin: Immediately flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Use

soap if available. Remove contaminated clothing including

shoes. Get medical attention.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek immediate medical attention. Vomiting may be induced if

person is concious and not experiencing convulsions. Never

give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical foam and powder.

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in a

fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon oxides). However,

there is no experimental evidence to support the anticipated

combustion products.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full chemical and flame resistant protective clothing

gloves, boots and self-contained breathing apparatus must be

worn.

Fight the fire from a safe distance or protected location.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Evacuate personnel from immediate vicinity.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment conforming to

the relevant national or international standards, as

mentioned in section 2.3.10. At a minimum PPE consisting of

coverall, shoe covers, eye protection, impermeable gloves

and a respirator with high efficency filters or cartridges

should be used.

Minimise dust formation by damping down with water. Absorb

spillages of solutions with a suitable inert material (eg.

sand or soil). Carefully transfer the spillage to waste

containers, or use a wet/dry HEPA vacuum. Containers filled

with waste material must be labelled in the same way as the

original substance containers.

Clean the spillage area with water and detergent and

ventilate the area.

Dispose of waste material in accordance with local

regulations.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be stored, handled and used under

conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with

any local regulations in order to prevent exposure to the

extent technically feasible.

Engineering controls in the form of containment are

necessary to reduce exposure to the substance.

When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled

appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn.

Such protective equipment should conform to the appropriate

international or national standards as follows;

Chemical protective gloves to Standard EN374 (double gloved)

Chemical protective clothing to Standard EN368

Eye protection to Standard EN166.

Respiratory protective equipment should be used as a

secondary control. eg. a respirator conforming to EN136 for

toxic dust.

These measures mentioned above should be regarded as a

minimum.

Storage: Store in an unbreakable container (or with secondary

containment) at controlled room temperature. (15 - 30°C)

Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Ensure

containers are properly labelled

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Material is packaged in UN approved fibre drums.

Transport code: No UN number has been assigned. Not hazardous for transport.
Transport: Containers should be secured against falling. Use normal
procedures for transport of industrial chemicals not
considered hazardous for transport.

SpecialProvisions

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: None known.

Chemical reaction with water: None which is hazardous.

Dust explosion: Class 1 dust.

Material exhibits weak to moderate explosion characteristics

if ignited as a dust cloud. Material is highly susceptible

to accumulating static charges during processing and

uncontrolled static discharge may result in igniting a dust

cloud under certain conditions due to the low minimum

ignition energy. Provide suitable bonding and grounding for

containers and process equipment to control static charges.

Powder handling equipment such as dust collectors, dryers,

and mills may require additional protective measures (eg.

explosion venting).

Dust explosion determined by test: Y

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Discharge to the environment will be minimal. Recovery from

minor spillages or accidental discharge is not economically

or technically feasible, and such waste material will be

disposed of off-site by closed cycle incineration. Recovery

of larger spillages of uncontaminated material for

subsequent use is recommended. As material is used in the

process, no recycling of material is possible.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: No chemical treatment is practicable to neutralise the

material.

The dust hazard will be minimised by engineering controls

and PPE.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Treat product and contaminated material as hazardous waste

which should be incinerated in accordance with local

regulations.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be disposed of by incineration by burning

under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment

processor using a closed-cycle incinerator with scrubbers in

accordance with local and national regulations.

A663 (incinerate, high temperature-long burn (*) with flue

gas scrubbing).

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged directly to

the sewage system or the aqueous environment. However, trace

quantities in aqueous washes can be treated in secondary

biological WWTP before discharge to municipal treatment

works.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: No other recommended methods of disposal.
