Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Inhalation : Remove to fresh air. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Skin contact : After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of soap and water. Consult a physician.
Eye contact : In the case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. Call a physician immediately.
Ingestion : Call a physician immediately. Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media : Dry powder, Water spray, Foam
Specific hazards during fire fighting: Heating or fire can release toxic gas.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Further information : Use water spray to cool unopened containers.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions : Avoid dust formation. Use personal protective equipment.
Environmental precautions : Prevent product from entering drains.
Methods for cleaning up : Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal. Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.
Handling and storage
Advice on safe handling : Avoid formation of respirable particles. Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion: Avoid dust formation. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Requirements for storage areas and containers: Keep container tightly closed. To maintain product quality, do not store in heat or direct sunlight. Keep in a dry, cool and well ventilated place.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection : In the case of dust or aerosol formation use respirator with an approved filter. Half mask with a particle filter P2 (EN 143).
Hand protection : Suitable material : Nitrile rubber Break through time : > 480 min. Take note of the information given by the producer concerning permeability and break through times, and of special workplace conditions (mechanical strain, duration of contact).
Eye protection : Safety glasses with side-shields
Skin and body protection : Choose body protection according to the amount and concentration of the dangerous substance at the work place.
No special protective equipment required.
Hygiene measures : Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Environmental exposure controls
General advice : Prevent product from entering drains.
