First-aid measures

General information: Remove soiled or soaked clothing immediately. If someone exposed to the product feels unwell, contact a doctor and show this safety data sheet. Adhere to personal protective measures when giving first aid

After inhalation: Remove the casualty into fresh air and keep him calm. Call in a physician immediately and show him the Safety Data Sheet.

After contact with skin: In case of contact with skin wash off immediately with polyethylene glycol 400, then with plenty of water. If polyethylene glycol is not available, rinse of with plenty of water. Consult a doctor if skin irritation persists.

After contact with eyes: Rinse immediately with gently running water for 15 minutes, maintaining eyelids open. Consult at once an ophthalmologist or a physician.

After ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Call in a physician immediately and show him the Safety Data Sheet. Let plenty of water be drunk in small gulps.

Advice to doctor: Treatment: Treat symptomatically.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media: water spray jet, carbon dioxide

Extinguishing media that must not be used for safety reasons: foam

Special hazards from the substance itself, its combustion products or from its vapours: In case of fires, hazardous combustion gases are formed: Carbon monoxide (CO), Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Special protective equipment for firefighting: In case of fire, wear respiratory protection

Further information: Fire residues and contaminated firefighting water must be disposed of in accordance with the local regulations.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions: Wear personal protective equipment. Unprotected persons must be kept away.

Environmental precautions: Do not allow to enter drains or waterways

Methods for cleaning up/taking up: Take up mechanically. When picked up, treat material as prescribed under heading "Disposal".

Handling and storage

Advice on safe handling: Keep the formation and deposition of dust to a minimum. Provide good ventilation of working area (local exhaust ventilation if necessary).

Advice on protection against fire and explosion: Organic products which are intentionally or unintentionally in powdered form have, in principle, the possibility of creating a dust explosion hazard. Avoid impact, friction and accumulation of electrostatic charge. Keep away from sources of ignition - refrain from smoking.

Requirements for storage rooms and vessels: Keep only in the original container

Advice on storage compatibility: Do not store or transport together with foodstuffs

Further information on storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place
