Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Emergency measure - Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Seek immediate medical attention.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Rinse with running water for at least 15 minutes. Seek
medical attention.
Emergency measure - Skin: Wash with soap and water.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek immediate medical attention.
Fire-fighting measures
Recommended extinguishing agent: Products of combustion may include oxides of carbon,
nitrogen and sulphur with some soot. Suitable extinguishing
agents are water, foam, dry chemical powder and carbon
dioxide. A self-contained breathing apparatus should be
worn. Dry powder will support combustion.
Accidental release measures
Emergency measures in case of spillage: Wear protective clothing (see 2.3.1), avoid contact. If
uncontaminated, return material to original container. If
contaminated, spills should be taken up with absorbent
material (sand or earth) and placed into labelled
containers. Solid material may be collected using an
industrial vacuum cleaner. Wash spill area with detergent
and water. Waste water and spill should be disposed of in
accordance with local regulations.
Handling and storage
Handling: Avoid inhalation and skin and eye contact. Do not eat,
drink or smoke when handling the substance. Wear rubber or
plastic gloves and protective apron, safety goggles with
side shield. Handle in a dust- and splash-free system. If
dust is generated wear a respirator. Emergency deluge
showers and eye-wash stations should be readily available.
Storage: Store in a cool dry place, away from excessive heat, in the
original containers. Reseal containers immediately after
use. Avoid unnecessary contact.

Disposal considerations
Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Recovery for reuse is not economically feasible
Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: "Not applicable" (FRG c.a. summary) [the UK c.a. has
pointed to the classification and requested comment]
Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: The substance may be disposed of at a licensed landfill
site
Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Recommended method. The substance may be disposed of by
incineration above 950 deg C. Waste gas treatment to remove
oxides of sulphur and nitrogen should be used.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance is unlikely to inhibit aerobic or anaerobic
systems. However, degradation is expected to be low.
Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Recovery from preparations is not economically feasible
Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable
Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Empty ink cartridges and printed paper can be disposed of
as normal office waste
Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Empty ink cartridges and printed paper can be disposed of
as normal office waste
Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable
