First-aid measures
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air and seek medical attention if necessary.
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected area with soap and water. Seek medical attention if irritation develops.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth out with water and give fluids to dilute. Seek immediate medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures
Recommended extinguishing agent: Water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide of foam extinguishers may be used.
Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in a fire, evolving oxides of carbon and nitrogen.
Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus must be worn.

Accidental release measures
Emergency measures in case of spillage: Evacuate personnel from immediate vicinity.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment conforming to the relevant national or international standards
Avoid dust formation by damping down with water. Absorb spillages of solutions with a suitable inert material (eg sand or soil). Carefully transfer the spillage to waste containers, or use a sealed industrial vacuum machine. Containers filled with waste material must be labelled in the same way as the original containers.
Clean the spillage area with water and detergent.
Dispose of waste material by incineration in accordance with
local regulations.

Handling and storage
Handling: The substance should be stored, handled and used in
conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with
any local regulations in order to avoid exposure.
Engineering controls are necessary to reduce exposure to the substance.
When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn. Such protective equipment should conform to the appropriate international or national standards as follows;
Chemical protective gloves to Standard EN374
Chemical resistant clothing to Standard EN368
Eye protection to Standard EN166
When necessary appropriate respiratory protection should be used. e.g. a dust mask conforming to EN149 FFP1.
The standards mentioned above should be regarded as a minimum.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.
Packaging of the substance and or preparation: 10kg in polyethylene bags packed in 20 litre fibre drums.

Disposal considerations
Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Rejected or used OPC drums are recycled. The
photoconductive layer containing the substance is stripped off with N-methylpyrrolidone in a closed and fully
mechanised washing system. The contaminated solvent is
re-used via distillation and the residue containing the
substance is disposed of as chemical waste.
Recovery from minor spillages or accidental discharge is not economically or technically feasible, and such waste material will be disposed of by incineration. In principle, it may be possible to recover larger spillages of uncontaminated material for subsequent use.
Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The notification tests have not identified any properties
considered hazardous to health.
The dust hazard will be minimised by appropriate storage and
handling techniques.
Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not recommended.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be disposed of by incineration by burning
under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment
processor in accordance with local regulations. Stack gases
must be scrubbed to remove any carbon and nitrogen oxides
formed.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged directly to
the sewage system or the aqueous environment.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None.
Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable as the substance is not made available to the
public.
Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable as the substance is not made available to the
public.
