Administrative data
First-aid measures
- Following inhalation:
Remove from exposure, lie down. Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Obtain medical attention.
- Following skin contact:
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated clothes and shoes. Obtain medical attention.
- Following eye contact:
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention.
- Following ingestion: Clean mouth with water. Get medical attention.
- Most important symptoms and effects: Treat symptomatically.
Fire-fighting measures
- Suitable extinguishing media:
Water spray, Carbon dioxide, Dry chemical, Chemical foam.
- Unsuitable extinguishing media:
No information available.
- Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
Dust can form an explosive mixture in air.
- Advice for fire fighter: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
Accidental release measures
- Personal precautions:
Ensure adequate ventilation.
- Protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Avoid static electricity, wear adequate protective clothes, gloves, breathing mask and goggles.
- Environmental precautions:
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
- Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Avoid dust formation. Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal. Do not let this chemical enter the environment.
Handling and storage
- Precautions for safe handling:
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not breathe dust. Do not breathe vapors or spray mist. Do not ingest. Use explosion-proof equipment. Use only non-sparking tools.
- Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed.

Disposal considerations
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
