First-aid measures

Skin Contact: Wash off with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.

Eye Contact: Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids intermittently. Consult a physician.

Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing difficulty or discomfort occurs and persists, obtain medical attention.

Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water and afterwards drink plenty of water or milk. Do not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Flood with water.

Special exposure hazards arising from the substance or preparation itself, combustion products, resulting gases Decomposes under fire conditions to release oxygen that intensifies the fire.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes. Avoid dust formation. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Environmental Precautions: Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. Try to prevent the material from entering drains or water courses.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Vacuum or shovel waste into a drum and label contents for disposal. Do not return product to the original storage container/tank due to risk of decomposition. Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc) away from spilled material. After cleaning, flush away traces with water Do not flush powdered material to sewer; Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.

Handling and storage

Precautions for Safe Handling: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Ensure adequate ventilation. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment if release of airborne dust is expected. If compounded with organics or combustible materials be sure to exclude moisture.

Storage: Keep tightly closed in a dry and cool place. Do not store near combustible materials. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition i.e., steam pipes, radiant heaters, hot air vents or welding sparks. Reacts with moisture. Keep container tightly closed.

Materials to avoid: Heavy metals. Combustible materials.

Exposure controls / personal protection

General information: If the product is used in mixtures, it is recommended that you contact the appropriate protective equipment suppliers. These recommendations apply to the product as supplied.

Respiratory Protection: Use the indicated respiratory protection if the occupational exposure limit is exceeded and/or in case of product release (dust): Effective dust mask. The use of breathing apparatus must comply strictly with the manufacturer's instructions and the regulations governing their choices and uses.

Eye/Face Protection: For dust, splash, mist or spray exposure, wear chemical protective goggles.

Skin and Body Protection: Long sleeved clothing. Chemical resistant apron. Rubber or plastic boots.

Hand Protection: Rubber/latex/neoprene or other suitable chemical resistant gloves. Wash the outside of gloves with soap and water prior to removal. Inspect regularly for leaks.

Hygiene measures: Clean water, preferably an eyewash station and a safety shower, should be available for washing in case of eye or skin contamination. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity : None under normal use condtions

Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions.

Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: Contamination, heat, and humid conditions will enhance and accelerate decomposition. However, unlike most oxidizers, decomposition is endothermic.

Conditions to avoid: Heat. (decomposes at 275 °C). Humid air. Contamination. Grinding with organics.

Incompatible materials: Heavy metals. Combustible materials.

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Oxygen which supports combustion. Calcium oxides.

Disposal considerations

Product disposal: Dispose of as hazardous waste in compliance with local and national regulations.

Contaminated Packaging: Empty remaining contents. Empty containers should be taken to an approved waste handling site for recycling or disposal.
