First-aid measures
Effects and symptoms
Inhalation: Over-exposure by inhalation may cause respiratory irritation (coughing)
Ingestion: There is no known acute effect after over-exposure to this product.
Skin contact: There is no known acute effect after over-exposure to this product.
Eye contact: May cause irritation.
First-aid measures
General: Move exposed person to fresh air.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. Obtain medical attention if symptoms occur.
Ingestion: If swallowed, rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious). Obtain medical attention if symptoms occur.
Skin contact: Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Obtain medical attention if symptoms occur.
Eye contact: Rinse with plenty of running water. Obtain medical attention if symptoms occur.
First aid facilities: No special recommendations.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media:
Small fire. Suitable: Non-combustible. Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding materials.
Large fire. Suitable: Non-combustible. Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding materials.
Unusual fire / explosion hazard: No specific hazard.
Hazardous thermal decomposition products: In case of fire, may produce hazardous decomposition products such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2, etc.), ammonia (NH3), amines. Hydrogen cyanide (HCN). At > 600 °C.
Special fire-fighting procedures: Fight fire from protected location or maximum possible distance. Keep the area surrounding the fire cool.
Protection of fire fighters: Wear suitable protective clothing. Self-contained breathing apparatus.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions: Avoid creating dusty conditions and prevent wind dispersal. Use suitable protective equipment.
Environmental precautions: No special measures required.
Clean-up methods:
Small spill and leak: Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a designated, labelled waste container. Clean up affected area with a large amount of water.
Large spill and leak: Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a designated, labelled waste container. Recycle if possible. Prevent formation of dust clouds. Clean up affected area with a large amount of water
Handling and storage
Handling: Use with adequate ventilation. Local exhaust ventilation should be provided. Avoid creating dusty conditions and prevent wind dispersal.
Storage: Keep away from incompatible material and avoid specific conditions, see under Stability and Reactivity. Keep in a dry place. Do not stack more than 2 bulk backs >1000 kg on top of each other in connecting with the risk of ripping.
Remarks: Avoid creating dusty conditions and prevent wind dispersal.
Packaging materials - suitable: Wood, plastic.
