Bis(N,N',N''-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane)-trioxo-dimanganese (IV) di(hexafluorophosphate)monohydrate

Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove from source of dust to fresh air and obtain medical

attention if symptoms develop.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Wash well with water and obtain medical attention if any

symptoms persist.

Emergency measure - Skin: Wash thoroughly with water and obtain medical attention if

symptoms develop.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Remove material from mouth.  Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water

(or milk). If large amounts swallowed or symptoms develop

obtain medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water, foam, dry powder or carbon dioxide

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

fire, probably evolving noxious fumes (eg. carbon and

nitrogen oxides with a slight possibility of hydrogen

fluoride being formed).  However, there is no experimental

evidence to support the presence of the anticipated

combustion products, which are based on theoretical

consideration of the elements present in the compound.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing

apparatus must be worn.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Vacuum clean or moisten and sweep up and put in container

for subsequent disposal.

Contain spills of solutions with sand or earth and dispose

of according to local regulations.

Wash away residue or small spillage with low pressure water.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be handled and used under conditions of

good industrial hygiene and in conformity with any local

regulations in order to avoid exposure, particularly by skin

contact inhalation of dust and ingestion.

A provisional inhalation exposure limit of 1mg/m3 has been

recommended as a maximum for a four-hour time weighted

average concentration.

When exposure cannot be prevented, other than by the use of

personal protective equipment - eye protection (goggles to

B.S 2092-2), impervious gloves (PVC, nitrile) and protective

clothing (cotton overalls) should be worn.

When respiratory protective equipment has to be used, it

must be capable of adequately controlling exposure and be

suitable for the purpose.  A dust mask conforming to BS 6016

Type -2 is recommended.

Storage: The substance should be stored in sealed containers at room

temperature.  Containers can either be of plastic or

polythene-lined fibre/steel drums.

This substance should be stored away from strong oxidising

agents and strong alkalis.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Vacuum clean or moisten and sweep up and put in appropriate

container for subsequent disposal.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The major hazard associated with spillage of this material

is inhalation of dust.  This hazard can be sufficiently

reduced by damping down the product prior to sweeping it up

for disposal.  After physical removal of small amounts, any

residual product can be swilled away with copious amounts of

water.

The Base Set tests have shown that the substance is harmful

by prolonged exposure.  Adequate protection should be worn

during normal handling and when dealing with spillages to

ensure hazards are minimised (see Section A2.3.1).

No chemical neutralization of this compound is required.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: After physical removal for subsequent disposal flush the

residue away with copious amounts of low pressure water.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: As an organic material Commercial Dragon II will combust,

however it would be preferable to collect solid residues and

return to the manufacturer for possible recovery/disposal.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance is not readily biodegradable; to reduce the

impact on a system, prior-dilution is advised.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: Land fill (B.650)

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: In the case of spillage, the substance can be recovered for

recyling or possible disposal by moistening with water prior

to sweeping up and placing in a sealable container (plastic

liner inside a fibre or steel drum).  The use of a vacuum

cleaner to suck up dry material may also be used.  However

the substance in its pure (i.e. conformulated) state will

not be made available to the public.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: The major hazard associated with spillage of this material

is inhalation of dust.  Dustiness of product can be

significantly reduced/eliminated by damping the product with

water.  Following physical recovery of the product as

described in Section 6.2.1, small amounts of residual

product can safely be disposed of by flushing away with

copious amounts of water.

No chemical neutralisation of this compound is required.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Since the product is a solid, it is a relatively simple job

to contain it and sweep up into containers for recovery.

After physical removal, any small amounts of residual solid

may be flushed away with copious amounts of water.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: As an organic solid it will burn, but it is preferable to

return all solid residues to the manufacturer for possible

recovery/disposal.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: All solid residues should be recovered and therefore the

effects of swilling away small amounts of product will be

minimised.  Copious amounts of water should always be used.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - others: Land Fill may be used for this product, but again it is

preferable to collect all solid residues for return to the

manufacturer for recovery/disposal.
