SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Description of first aid measures:
In case of inhalation: If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician.
In case of skin contact: Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a physician.
In case of eye contact: Flush eyes with water as a precaution.
In case of ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with water. Consult a physician.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:
Inhalation: May be harmful if inhaled; may cause respiratory tract irritation.
Eyes: May cause eye irritation.
Skin contact: May be harmful if absorbed through skin; may cause skin irritation.

Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed: Treat symptomatically. Show this safety data sheet to a physician or emergency room.

SECTION 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES

Extinguisher media:
Suitable extinguisher media: Dry sand, clay, approved class D extinguishers.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: Water spray.
Special hazards arising from the mixture: Flammable. Fine dust dispersed in air may ignite. Pyrophoric: Spontaneously
flammable in air. Water-reactive. Contact with water liberates extremely flammable gases. Thermal decomposition
can lead to release of irritating gases and vapours. Keep product and empty container away from heat and sources of ignition.
Advice for fire-fighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
Further information: Use water spray to cool unopened containers.

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Personal precautions: Avoid dust formation. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate
personnel to safe areas.
Environmental precautions: Prevent product from entering drains. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.
Methods for containment and cleaning up:
Methods for cleaning up: Pick up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Do not flush with water. Keep in
suitable, closed containers for disposal.
Reference to other sections:
Treat recovered material as described in the section "Disposal considerations".

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling:
Advice on safe handling: Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. Further processing
of solid materials may result in the formation of combustible dusts. Keep away from sources of ignition. Provide appropriate exhaust at places where dust is formed.
Hygiene measures: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
Conditions for safe storage, including incompatibilities:
Requirements for storage areas and containers: Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and wellventilated place.

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Occupational exposure limits: Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values.
Exposure controls:
Appropriate engineering controls: Use only under a chemical fume hood. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment:
Eye/face protection: Face shield and safety glasses: Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Hand protection: The selected protective gloves must satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the
standard EN 374 derived from it. Handle product with gloves.
Body protection: Choose body protection according to the amount and concentration of the dangerous substance at the workplace.
Respiratory protection: Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle
respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
