Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
- Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Oxygen or artificial respiration if needed. Consult a physician.
- Skin contact: Before washing use a dry brush to remove dust from skin. Take off all contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove and wash contaminated clothing and gloves, including the inside, before re-use.
- Eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician if symptoms occur.
- Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Prevent vomiting if possible. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician immediately. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
Fire-fighting measures
Dry sand, Limestone powder, Dry sodium chloride, Dry sodium carbonate
- Unsuitable extinguishing media: Halons, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Water, Foam
- Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: Reacts violently with water, moisture, alcohols and acids liberating highly flammable gases. Risk of explosion. Burning produces irritant fumes.
- Advice for firefighters: In the case of respirable dust and/or fumes, use self-contained breathing apparatus and dust impervious protective suit. Boots . Rubber or plastic gloves
- Specific methods: Keep people away from and upwind of the fire.
Accidental release measures
- Environmental precautions: Should not be released into the environment. Do not let product enter drains. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Cover with dry sodium carbonate, sand etc.
- Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Small amounts: Take up mechanically and collect into suitable containers for disposal. Clean thoroughly. Do not flush with water. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Handling and storage
- Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Keep under nitrogen. In tanks, containers and pipelines oxygen concentration of nitrogen must be < 3%. Purge open drums with nitrogen before resealing.
- Materials to avoid: Aluminium, Strong oxidizing agents, Acids, Alcohols, Halogenated hydrocarbon, Water

Exposure controls / personal protection
- Appropriate engineering controls:
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Electrical equipment should be protected to the appropriate standard. Avoid dust formation during handling. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Use a protective suit as impermeable as possible.
- Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment:
*Hand protection:
Glove material: butyl-rubber, Break through time: > 480 min
Glove material: Natural Rubber, Break through time: > 480 min
Glove material: Viton (R), Break through time: > 480 min
Gloves should be removed and replaced immediately if there is any indication of degradation or chemical breakthrough.
Glove material: Chloroprene, Break through time: > 480 min
Glove material: Nitrile rubber, Break through time: > 480 min
*Eye protection: Tightly fitting safety goggles or face-shield.
*Skin and body protection:
Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing
Rubber or plastic boots
Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
*Respiratory protection: In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Dust safety masks are recommended when the dust concentration is more than 10 mg/m³.
- Environmental exposure controls: Should not be released into the environment.
Stability and reactivity
Avoid contact with Water, alcohols, oxidising agents, acids, halogenated hydrocarbons.
Disposal considerations
Uncleaned containers should be disposed of in the same manner as the contents.
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.
