Administrative data
First-aid measures
Do not leave affected person unattended. Remove victim out of the danger area. Keep affected person
warm, still and covered. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. In all cases of doubt, or
when symptoms persist, seek medical advice. In case of unconsciousness place person in the recovery
position. Never give anything by mouth.
Following inhalation
Provide fresh air. In case of respiratory tract irritation, consult a physician. If breathing is irregular or
stopped, immediately seek medical assistance and start first aid actions.
Following skin contact
Brush off loose particles from skin. - Rinse skin with water/shower.
Following eye contact
Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 10 minutes, holding the eyelids apart. Remove
contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
Following ingestion
Rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious). Do NOT induce vomiting.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
IF SWALLOWED: Symptoms and effects are not known to date.
IF INHALED: May cause respiratory irritation.
IF IN EYES: Irritant to the eye.
FOLLOWING SKIN CONTACT: Causes skin irritation.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Basic aid, decontamination, symptomatic and supportive.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
water, foam, ABC-powder
Unsuitable extinguishing media
water jet
Additional statements
The extinguishing media also needs to be appropriate to the surrounding.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Deposited combustible dust has considerable explosion potential.
Hazardous combustion products
carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), smoke generation in case of incomplete combustion /combustion under oxygen deficiency, hazardous decomposition products: see below
Advice for firefighters
In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Co-ordinate firefighting measures to the fire
surroundings. Fight fire with normal precautions from a reasonable distance. Do not allow firefighting water to enter drains or water courses. Collect contaminated firefighting water separately.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency personnel
Remove persons to safety. Provision of sufficient ventilation. Prevent skin contact. Wearing of suitable
protective equipment (including personal protective equipment referred to under Section 8 of
the safety data sheet) to prevent any contamination of skin, eyes and personal clothing.
For emergency responders
Wear breathing apparatus if exposed to vapours/dust/spray/gases.
Environmental precautions
Keep away from drains, surface and ground water. Retain contaminated washing water and dispose
of it. If substance has entered a water course or sewer, inform the responsible authority. Disposal
considerations: see see below
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Advice on how to contain a spill
Covering of drains. - Take up mechanically.
Advice on how to clean up a spill
Take up mechanically.
Other information relating to spills and releases
Place in appropriate containers for disposal. Ventilate affected area. Use personal protective equipment
as required.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Recommendations
• Measures to prevent fire as well as aerosol and dust generation
Use only in well-ventilated areas. Use local and general ventilation. Take precautionary measures
against static discharge. Handle and open container with care. Ground/bond container and receiving
equipment.
• Warning
Dust deposits may accumulate on all deposition surfaces in a technical room. The product in the delivered
form is not dust explosion capable; the enrichment of fine dust however leads to the danger
of dust explosion.
Advice on general occupational hygiene
Wash hands after use. Do not eat, drink and smoke in work areas. Remove contaminated clothing and
protective equipment before entering eating areas. Never keep food or drink in the vicinity of chemicals.
Never place chemicals in containers that are normally used for food or drink. Keep away from
food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Managing of associated risks
• Explosive atmospheres
Removal of dust deposits.
Conditions of storage
Keep container tightly closed.
Incompatible substances or mixtures
See storage class (LGK) in section 15. Mind instructions on combined storage depending on the storage
class (TRGS 510). Incompatible materials: see section 10.
• Protect against external exposure, such as
heat, humidity, direct light irradiation
Consideration of other advice
Appropriate containment techniques.
• Ventilation requirements
Use local and general ventilation.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Occupational exposure limit values (Workplace Exposure Limits)
dust (DE): AGW (TRGS 900) TWA: 1.25 mg/m³ STEL: 2.5 mg/m³ (r)
dust (DE): AGW (TRGS 900) TWA: 10 mg/m³ STEL: 20 mg/m³ (i)
TWA...Time-weighted average (long-term exposure limit): measured or calculated in relation to a reference period of 8 hours time-weighted average (unless otherwise specified)
STEL...Short-term exposure limit: a limit value above which exposure should not occur and which is related to a 15-minute period (unless otherwise specified)
(i)...Inhalable fraction
(r)...Respirable fraction
Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls
General ventilation.
Individual protection measures (personal protective equipment)
Eye/face protection
Wear eye protection/face protection.
Skin protection
• other protection measures
Take recovery periods for skin regeneration. Preventive skin protection (barrier creams/ointments) is
recommended. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
Respiratory protection
In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection.
Particulate filter device (EN 143). Filtering half mask (EN 149)
Environmental exposure controls
Use appropriate container to avoid environmental contamination. Keep away from drains, surface
and ground water.
Causes for obligatory or voluntary / offer-based preventive occupational medical examination
acc. Ordinance on Occupational Health Care Germany (ArMedVV), Annex, Section 1
None.
Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
Concerning incompatibility: see below "Conditions to avoid" and "Incompatible materials".
Chemical stability
The material is stable under normal ambient and anticipated storage and handling conditions of temperature
and pressure.
Possibility of hazardous reactions
No known hazardous reactions.
Conditions to avoid
Avoidance of ignition sources.
Hints to prevent fire or explosion
The product in the delivered form is not dust explosion capable; the enrichment of fine dust however leads to the danger of dust explosion.
Incompatible materials
acids - bases
Hazardous decomposition products
Hazardous combustion products: see fire fighting measures
Reasonably anticipated hazardous decomposition products produced as a result of use, storage, spill and heating are not known.
Disposal considerations
Waste treatment methods
Sewage disposal-relevant information
Do not empty into drains. Avoid release to the environment. Refer to special instructions/safety data
sheets.
Waste treatment of containers/packagings
It is a dangerous waste; only packagings which are approved (e.g. acc. to ADR) may be used. Completely
emptied packages can be recycled. Handle contaminated packages in the same way as the
substance itself.
Classification code
HP 4 - irritant - skin irritation and eye damage
HP 5 - specific target organ toxicity (STOT)/aspiration toxicity
Remarks
Please consider the relevant national or regional provisions. Waste shall be separated into the categories
that can be handled separately by the local or national waste management facilities.
