First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures
First aid personnel should pay attention to their own safety. Remove affected person from danger area. Remove contaminated clothing. The first aid measures are valid exclusively apply to the contact with the developing dusts.
On skin contact:
Wash thoroughly with soap and water.
On contact with eyes:
Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open, consult an eye specialist.
On ingestion:
Rinse mouth and then drink plenty of water.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Symptoms: The most important known symptoms and effects are described in the labelling (see section 2) and/or in section 11., Further symptoms are possible
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific antidote.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media:
water spray, dry powder, carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam
Unsuitable extinguishing media for safety reasons:
Dry Powder for Class D
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides
The substances/groups of substances mentioned can be released in case of fire. Under certain conditions in case of fire other hazardous combustion products may be generated.
Advice for fire-fighters
Special protective equipment:
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus.
Further information:
Collect contaminated extinguishing water separately, do not allow to reach sewage or effluent systems. Copious amounts of water may be used to cool exposures.
Accidental release measures
Avoid the formation and build-up of dust - danger of dust explosion. Dust in sufficient concentration can result in an explosive mixture in air. Handle to minimize dusting and eliminate open flame and other sources of ignition.
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Breathing protection required.
Environmental precautions
Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
For small amounts: Sweep/shovel up. Pack in tightly closed containers for disposal.
For large amounts: Sweep/shovel up. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with regulations.
Avoid raising dust. Collect waste in suitable containers, which can be labeled and sealed. Incinerate or take to a special waste disposal site in accordance with local authority regulations.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Product should be worked up in closed equipment as far as possible. Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas. Avoid dust formation. Dust deposits that cannot be avoided must be taken up regularly. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Hands and/or face should be washed before breaks and at the end of the shift.
Protection against fire and explosion:
The product is combustible. Accumulation of fine dust may entail the risk of a dust explosion in the presence of air. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Fire extinguishers should be kept handy.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Suitable materials for containers: Low density polyethylene (LDPE), glass, High density polyethylene (HDPE), Aluminium, Stove-lacquer RDL 16
Unsuitable materials for containers: Galvanized carbon steel (Zinc), Paper/Fibreboard, Carbon steel (Iron), tinned carbon steel (Tinplate)
Further information on storage conditions: Containers should be stored tightly sealed in a dry place. Protect against moisture. Do not stockpile Keep only in the original container at temperature not exceeding 40 °C.
Storage stability:
Storage temperature: < 40 °C
Storage duration: 24 Months
The substance/product may cake if the storage temperature is exceed.
The procedure is not reversible.
From the data on storage duration in this safety data sheet no agreed statement regarding the warrantee of application properties can be deduced.
The packed product is not damaged by low temperatures or by frost.
Protect from temperatures above: 40 °C
Properties of the product change reversibly on exceeding the limit temperature.
Specific end use(s)
See exposure scenario(s) in the attachment to this safety data sheet.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection:
Wear respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate. Breathing protection if breathable aerosols/dust are formed. Consider the risk management measures as outlined in the exposure scenario.
Hand protection:
Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN 374)
Suitable materials for short-term contact (recommended: At least protective index 2, corresponding > 30 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374)
butyl rubber (butyl) - 0.7 mm coating thickness
Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types.
Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.
Consider the risk management measures as outlined in the exposure scenario.
Eye protection:
Tightly fitting safety goggles (splash goggles) (e.g. EN 166), Consider the risk management measures as outlined in the exposure scenario.
Body protection:
Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, protecting boots, chemical-protection suit (according to EN 14605 in case of splashes or EN ISO 13982 in case of dust).
General safety and hygiene measures
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Preventive skin protection by use of skin-protecting agents is recommended. Hands and/or face should be washed before breaks and at the end of the shift. Remove contaminated clothing immediately and clean before re-use or dispose it if necessary. Store work clothing separately.
Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
No hazardous reactions if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated.
Corrosion to metals:
The product is not to be labelled as corrosive for transport purposes.
Formation of flammable gases: Remarks: Forms no flammable gases in the presence of water.
Possibility of hazardous reactions
The product is not a dust explosion risk as supplied; however the build-up of fine dust can lead to a risk of dust explosions.
Conditions to avoid
See MSDS section 7 - Handling and storage.
Incompatible materials
Substances to avoid:
strong oxidizing agents
atmospheric moisture
Hazardous decomposition products
:
No hazardous decomposition products if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated.
Disposal considerations
Waste treatment methods
Incinerate in suitable incineration plant, observing local authority regulations.
A waste code in accordance with the European waste catalog (EWC) cannot be specified, due to dependence on the usage.
The waste code in accordance with the European waste catalog (EWC) must be specified in cooperation with disposal agency/manufacturer/authorities.
Contaminated packaging:
Contaminated packaging should be emptied as far as possible; then it can be passed on for recycling after being thoroughly cleaned.
