Administrative data
First-aid measures
In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
In case of inhalation:
None expected to require first aid measures. If breathed in, remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If you feel unwell, seek medical attention.
In case of skin contact:
None expected to require first aid measures. Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Get medical attention in the unlikely event that irritation persists.
In case of eyes contact:
None expected to require first aid measures. Flush with running water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists get medical attention.
In case of ingestion:
Immediate first aid is not likely to be required. A physician or poison control center can be contacted for advice. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:
The product is not classified as harmful to human health effect.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:
If skin irritation or rash occurs, get medical advice/attention.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: This product is combustible. Use extinguishing agents appropriate for surrounding fire.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: Not available.
Special hazards arising from the
substance or mixture No specific fire or explosion hazard. In case of fire, the following can be released: Carbon oxides.
Advice for firefighters: Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
Accidental release measures
For non-emergency personnel: Provide adequate ventilation. Avoid inhalation of dust. Avoid skin and eye contact.
For emergency responders: Wear an appropriate NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator if dust is generated.
Environmental Precautions: Do not allow material to be released to the environment without proper governmental permits.
Methods for Containment and Cleaning up: Take up mechanically.
Handling and storage
Protective measures: Good hygienic practices should be observed. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid breathing dust. If exposed to high dust concentration, leave area immediately. Work clothes should be washed separately at the end of each work day. Keep away from sources of ignition. Ensure good ventilation/exhaustion at the workplace.
Advice on general occupational hygiene: Do not eat, drink and smoke in work areas. Wash hands after use. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Material should be stored in a clean, dry environment in original packaging and not exposed to ignition sources.
Specific end use(s): Not applicable.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Occupational exposure limits: Not available.
Additional exposure limits under the conditions of use: Not available.
DNEL/DMEL and PNEC-Values: Not available.
Exposure controls:
Appropriate engineering controls: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits. If user operations generate dust, fumes or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment:
Eye/face protection: Safety glasses with side-shields.
Hand protection: Wear suitable protective gloves.
Body protection: Wear suitable protective clothing.
Respiratory protection: Wear dust mask when handling large quantities.
Thermal hazards: Wear suitable protective clothing to prevent heat.
Environmental exposure controls: Avoid discharge into the environment.
According to local regulations, Federal and official regulations.
Stability and reactivity
Chemical stability: Stable at room temperature in closed containers under normal storage and handling conditions.
Possibility of hazardous reactions: No dangerous reactions known.
Conditions to avoid: Incompatible materials.
Incompatible materials: Strong oxidizing agents.
Hazardous decomposition products: Carbon oxides.
Disposal considerations
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
