Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Carbon dioxide, extinguishing powder or water mist. Fight larger fires with water jet or alcohol-resistant foam.
Unsuitable extinguishing media for safety: Unknown.
Specific hazards by product, Decomposition gases and vapours, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2),
combustion products or gases: Nitrogen oxides (NOX) and hydrogen chloride (HCl)
Special protective equipment: Use pressure air respirator at low aeration and in closed rooms. On extreme conditions a chemical protection suit might be necessary.

Accidental release measures
Personal precautions: Wear suitable protective equipment (see also chapt. 8.2 – personal protection). Keep unprotected persons away. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Environmental precautions: Avoid release to the environment. Do not empty into drains.
Clean-up methods: Remove by simple sweeping up or by an industrial vacuum cleaner. Sweep up, place in a bag and hold for waste disposal. Avoid raising dust. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is complete.

Handling and storage
Handling: On dust formation exhaustion at the workplace. Good ventilation of working rooms, chemical-resistant floors and washing facilities at the workplace, emergency showers on activities with larger amounts. On workplaces keep available amounts only necessary for work progress.
Don’t leave receptacles stand open, use closed facilities with exhaust as densely as possible for decanting and bottling. Don’t transport with pressure air, avoid dust formation, preferable handle with non-breakable receptacles or use suitable protection containers on transportation of breakable receptacles. Avoid contact and inhalation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Keep ignition sources away. Do not smoke.
Storage:
Storage in gateways, passages, stairways, hallways open to public, roofs, attics and workrooms is not admissible. Don’t use foods receptacles because of the danger of confusion. Label receptacles clearly and durably. Preferable store in original receptacles, keep densely closed. Keep containers tightly sealed. Keep tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry place. Nothing but substances of similar properties should be cumulatively stored. Store away from oxidizing agents.

Exposure controls / personal protection
EXPOSITION LIMIT VALUES:
Occupational exposition limit (OEL):
Particulates, not otherwise regulated:
Workplace exposure limit (UK EH40, 8-h-TWA): 4 mg/m³ respirable dust, 10 mg/m³ inhalable dust
Workplace exposure limit (USA OSHA, 8-h-TWA): 5 mg/m³ respirable dust, 15 mg/m³ total dust
Insoluble particulates:
Workplace exposure limit (Germany AGS): 8-h-TWA: 3 mg/m³ respirable dust, 10 mg/m³ inhalable dust;
15-min-short-term-exposure: 6 mg/m³ respirable dust, 20 mg/m³ inhalable dust
Measuring methods:
MDHS 14/3: General methods for sampling and gravimetric analysis of airborne respirable and inhalable dust.
NIOSH 0600: Method for sampling and gravimetric analysis of the airborne respirable dust.
OSHA PV2121: Method for sampling and gravimetric analysis of the airborne respirable dust.
BIA 6068: Method for sampling and gravimetric analysis of the alveolar fraction.
TECHNICAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
Technical measures: Properly operating chemical fume hood designed for hazardous chemicals and having an
average face velocity of at least 100 feet per minute.
Engineering controls: Safety shower and eye bath. Mechanical exhaust required.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
Respiratory Protection: Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU). Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a dust mask or type P1 (EN 143) respirator.
Required on formation of dust: use half mask type N95 (US) or to EN 140 or full mask to EN 136 fitted with filter to EN 143-P1. Remind wearing time limits. On concentrations above limitations of filter devices or on oxygen contents above 17 % or on ambiguous conditions use self-contained respiratory protective devices.
Hand Protection: Protection gloves are not required commonly, on permanent skin contact gloves for low mechanic and substantial stress are enough. Protection gloves to be applied have to comply with the specifications of EU directive 89/686/EEC und EN 374, e.g.: Matter: Butyl rubber / Thickness: > 0,4 mm / Penetration time: > 30 min.
Eye Protection: On mechanical handling with dust exposure sideward closed goggles to EN 166 are required.
Skin protection: Skin protection products are not as effective as protection gloves, so suitable protection gloves should be preferred if possible. If protection gloves can not be worn apply water insoluble skin protection substances to clean skin before start of work and after each break and thoroughly embrocate. Before breaks and at the end of work skin the cleaning with water and soap necessary. After cleansing fatty skin care products should be applied.
General hygiene measures: Avoid aspiration of dust. Change contaminated clothes and don’t reuse it until cleaned.
