Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
General: Remove contaminated or saturated clothing.
Description of first aid measures
Inhalation: In case product dust is released: Possible discomfort: irritation of mucous lining (nose, throat, eyes) cough, sneezing, flow of tears. Move victims into fresh air. If symptoms persist, consult a physician for treatment.
Skin Contact: Wash off immediately with plenty of water. If symptoms persist, consult a physician for treatment.
Eye contact: Keeping eyelid open, immediately rinse thoroughly for at least 5 minutes using plenty of water or, if necessary, eye rinsing solution. Consult an ophthalmologist.
Ingestion: Have the mouth rinsed with water. Have patient drink plenty of water in small sips. Obtain medical attention.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: None known.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Hazards: None known.
Treatment: If required, therapy of irritative effect. If substance has been swallowed: Early endoscopy in order to assess mucosa lesions in the oesophagus and stomach which may appear. If necessary, aspirate leftover substance.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media: dry powder, dry sand.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: Water.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
Formation of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Metal oxides.
Advice for firefighters
Special fire fighting procedures: Water for fire fighting must not be introduced in the sewer system, subsoil, or surface waters. Assure that there are sufficient fire water retaining facilities Contaminated fire fighting water must be disposed of in conformity with the regulations of the local authorities.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Employ protective equipment commonly used in the event of fire.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Wear personal protective equipment. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Avoid formation of dust. Ensure sufficient ventilation.
Environmental Precautions: No special environmental precautions required.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Cover with Dry sand. Use mechanical handling equipment.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling:
Under inert gas (argon, nitrogen). Avoid dust formation.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Store in the original receptacle, keeping this tightly sealed, under cool and dry conditions. Keep away from direct sunlight. Protect from warming. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Water used to extinguish fire should not enter drainage systems, soil or stretches of water. Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Control Parameters
Please observe the national legislation and Occupational Exposure Limits
Exposure controls
Appropriate Engineering Controls:
Provide good ventilation or extraction. Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection: Safety glasses
Hand Protection: use suitable butyl rubber gloves
Material: Butyl rubber.
Break-through time: >= 480 min
Glove thickness: 0.5 mm
Material: Fluorinated rubber (Viton)
Break-through time: >= 480 min
Glove thickness: 0.4 mm
Additional Information: Selection of protective gloves to meet the requirements of specific workplaces., Suitability for specific workplaces should be clarified with protective glove manufacturers., The information is based on our own tests, references from the literature and information from glove manufacturers, or derived by analogy with similar materials., Remember that the useful time per day of a chemical protection glove may be much shorter than the permeation time determined according to EN 374 due to the many different influential factors involved (e.g. temperature).
Respiratory Protection: In case of dusts/vapours/aerosols being formed or if the limit values like TLV are exceeded: use respiratory equipment with suitable filter or wear a self contained respiratory apparatus
Hygiene measures: Do not breathe dust. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not wear contaminated clothing. When using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Stability and reactivity
Reactivity: Risk of spontaneous ignition if exposed to air and elevated temperatures.
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions.
Possibility of hazardous reactions: Risk of spontaneous ignition if exposed to air and elevated temperatures. Exothermic reaction with acids, bases, humid air and water.
Conditions to avoid: Avoid air humidity, heat exposure, ignition sources.
Incompatible Materials: humid air and water strong oxidant Strong acids and strong bases
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Possible decomposition products in case of hydrolysis are: magnesium hydroxide Ethanol.
Disposal considerations
Waste treatment methods
Disposal methods: With respect to local regulations, e.g. dispose of to suitable waste incineration plant.
