Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Not known to be a direct inhalation hazard, but should be

handled as if it is hazardous.  If dust is inhaled, move the

subject to area of fresh air and give artificial respiration

if breathing has stopped.  If there are signs of discomfort,

seek medical advice.  Show copy of safety data sheet or

label to medical staff.

(Note:  if in contact with dust, ensure that eyes and skin

are suitably cleaned as appropriate)

Emergency measure - Eyes: Rinse immediately with large volumes of water for 10 - 15

minutes.  Seek medical attention.  Show copy of safety data

sheet or label to the medical staff.

Remove contact lenses if worn.

Emergency measure - Skin: Wash with water and mild soap or detergent.  If signs of

discomfort, seek medical attention.  Remove contaminated

clothing and wash thoroughly before re-use.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: If subject is conscious, rinse mouth thoroughly and drink

plenty of water.  If signs of discomfort, seek medical

advice.  Show copy of safety data sheet or label to medical

staff.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Dry foam, powder, water spray, carbon dioxide and other

extinguishing agents.  No adverse reaction with normal

extinguishing agents is known.

Product arising from burning: Complete combustion will lead to the formation of oxides of

carbon and nitrogen.  Reduced forms of these oxides (eg.

carbon monoxide) may result from combustion in enclosed

spaces.  Other possible combustion products following

incomplete oxidation may include nitrous acids and volatile

carbon/nitrogen products.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective equipment should be worn, including self

contained breathing apparatus, suitable gloves, goggles and

face protection.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Collect material while minimising the generation of dust

(through use of a damp mop or other cleaning equipment) and

place in a suitably labelled container.  Dispose of in

accordance with local regulations.  Residues and minor

spills may be washed with water to process sewer, if

allowable under local and national regulations.

Protective clothing including respirator, suitable gloves

and eye protection should be worn.

Handling and storage

Handling: As the substance exists in a dry form, precautions should be

taken to reduce the possibility of dust formation. Suitable

ventilation should be applied to the working area.

When physical or engineering controls are not sufficient to

control dust exposure, approved respiratory equipment to

EN136 standard should be worn.  For manufacturing areas, PPE

such as goggles, coveralls or gowns of impervious material,

neoprene or rubber gloves may be worn.

Storage: Store dry under ambient conditions upright in the original

sealed containers which are correctly labelled.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Packed in fibre drums, 80 kg maximum, UN approved.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: Avoid contact with strong oxidising and reducing agents.

Chemical reaction with water: There is not considered to be any adverse reaction with

water.

Dust explosion: The substance was tested to be a combustible dust with a

class ST-2 explosion strength (ASTME 1226 method).  As with

most organic materials, a suspended dust cloud of this

substance may ignite if subjected to a strong ignition

source or high voltage.

Dust explosion determined by test: Y

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance is consumed during use and there is no

opportunity for recovery or recycling once used.

Waste solvent from the production process is sent for

recovery.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: Not appropriate

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Trace quantites are destroyed though biological oxidation in

wastewater treatment plants.

Code A641

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: This is the recommended method of destruction, especially

for large quantities.  Closed system incinerators with

scrubbers should be used in compliance with local and

national regulations.

Code A663

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Trace quantites in aqueous washes can be treated in

secondary biological WWTP before discharge to municipal

treatment works, even though SQ32,035 is not considered to

be readily biodegradable.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: Not recommended
