Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

INHALATIONIf inhaled, remove to fresh air. If breathing becomes difficult, administer oxygen and conduce him to the hospital.CONTACT WITH THE SKINIn case of skin contact, remove all contaminated clothing and shoes and wash the skin with copious amount of water for at least 15 minutes.CONTACT WITH THE EYESIn case of contact with eyes flush immediately with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Assure adequate flushing by separating the eyelids with finger.4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayedINGESTIONIf swallowed, rinse your mouth with water if victim is conscious. Consult a physician.

Fire-fighting measures

EXTINGUISHING MEDIAWater spray, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide or appropriate foams.SPECIAL HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE SUBSTANCE OR MIXTUREThe heat decomposition or ignition of the product may produce toxic fumes and cause intoxication. Hazardous decomposition and combustion products include: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, NOx nitrogen oxides.ADVICE FOR FIREFIGHTERSFor single units (packages): No special requirements needed. For larger amounts (multiple packages/pallets) of product: Since toxic, corrosive or flammable vapours might be evolved from fires involving the product and associated packaging, self contained breathing apparatus a full protective equipment are recommended for fire fighters. (Full facial mask with “Universal” filter). If possible, contain and collect fire fighting water for later disposal.

Accidental release measures

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS, PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURESPrevention of skin and eye contact and personal clothing: wear protective clothing, protective glasses, rubber boots and heavy-duty rubber gloves.Provision for sufficient ventilation/ respiratory protection: wear an independent respirator. Evacuate the area and aerate the zone contaminated by the spilt product after cleaning it away completely.Control of dust: avoid forming clouds of dust/powder.ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONSDo not allow the product to enter water or the soil. Prevent it from entering the drains or sewers. Use suitable containers for preventing environmental pollution. Alert neighbourhood: Not necessaryMETHODS AND MATERIAL FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEANING UPUse of absorbent material: vermiculite, dry sand, earth.Cleaning methods: immediately contact emergency personnel. Evacuate and ventilate area. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Clean up spills or leak immediately. Wash the contaminated area with water then absorb with an inert material (vermiculite, dry sand, earth, etc) and place in a closed chemical waste container for disposal.

Handling and storage

PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLINGContainment, local and general ventilation, measures to prevent aerosol and dust generation and fire: the premises set up for the handling of the product must be fitted out with localised and controlled aeration systems (laminar flow hoods, etc.) capable of confining the dispersion of the active ingredient in the form of air-dispersed powder. Use hoods with interchangeable filtersAdvice on general occupational hygiene: use suitable personal protection devices including certified respirators, protective safety glasses and compatible gloves resistant against chemical agents. Wash yourself with care after each handling operation. Never eat, drink or smoke during handling. Safety shower and washing stations for rinsing eyes must be provided.7.2 CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE, INCLUDING ANY INCOMPATIBILITIESSpecific storage requirements to control of the environmental effects: store in a dry, well-ventilated storage area at room temperature. Keep container tightly closed when not in use or empty.Type of materials used in packing/containers of substance: pack the product in double polythene bags, individually sealed and store in cardboard bins or plastic drums fitted with an aluminium safety locking ring.

Exposure controls / personal protection

EYE/ FACE PROTECTIONWear protective glasses (EN 166) during the execution of any industrial type of operations. If necessary, wear a protective face shield.SKIN PROTECTIONUse work overalls and/or coat, or dustproof overalls in Tyvek with hood for industrial type operations.HAND PROTECTIONType of material and thickness: wear nitrile or rubber gloves (neoprene). Minimum thickness of gloves: 0,11 mm.Typical or minimum breakthrough times of the glove material: permeability is not anticipated with dry solid substances and therefore the duration of the protective gloves has not been calculated. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of the EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: wear an FFP1 dustproof mask or a Respirator connected to the air supply (if necessary, use a mask with an P1 type filter EN143)ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE CONTROLSAvoid dispersion in the environment.

Stability and reactivity

CHEMICAL STABILITYStability studies show that the product is stable in normal conditions of storing (room temperature, relative humidity).POSSIBILITY OF HAZARDOUS REACTIONSNo hazardous polymerisations occur.HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTSThe heat decomposition or ignition of the product may produce toxic fumes and cause intoxication. Hazardous decomposition and combustion products include: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, NOx nitrogen oxides..

Disposal considerations

INCINERATIONDissolve or mix the product with a combustible solvent then incinerate in an incinerator for chemical products equipped with a post-combustion and destruction system.DISPOSAL METHODS SUITABLE FOR THE SUBSTANCEThis material and its containers must be disposed of as hazardous waste products.SUITABLE DISPOSAL METHODS FOR COMBINED PACKAGING MATERIALSThe combined packaging materials must be disposed of as hazardous waste products.
