Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial

respiration. If breathing is difficult administer oxygen.

Seek medical attention immediately.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical

attention immediately.

Emergency measure - Skin: Flush area with large amounts of water for 15 minutes.

Remove contaminated clothing. Use soap if available. Seek

medical attention immediately.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek medical attention immediately. Do not induce vomiting

unless directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by

mouth to an unconscious person.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Fires involving this material may be extinguished with

appropriate media, including water.

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in a

fire, evolving noxious fumes including carbon and nitrogen

oxides and fluorine containing compounds. However, there is

no experimental evidence to support the anticipated

combustion products.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing

apparatus must be worn.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Evacuate personnel from immediate vicinity.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment conforming to

the relevant national or international standards as

mentioned in section 2.3.10.

Absorb spillages of solutions with a suitable inert material

(eg sand or soil). Carefully transfer the spillage to waste

containers, or use a sealed industrial vacuum machine.

Containers filled with waste material must be labelled in

the same way as the original containers.

Clean the spillage area and dispose of waste material

preferably by incineration in accordance with local

regulations.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be stored, handled and used in

conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with

any local regulations in order to avoid exposure.

Engineering controls are necessary to reduce exposure to the

substance.

When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled

appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn.

Such protective equipment should conform to the appropriate

international or national standards as follows;

Chemical protective gloves to Standard EN374

Chemical resistant clothing to Standard EN368

Eye protection to Standard EN166

When necessary appropriate respiratory protection should be

used. e.g. a dust mask conforming to EN149 FFP1.

The standards mentioned above should be regarded as a

minimum.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.

Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: The material should be packaged in double polyethylene liner

in 40-100 kg capacity plastic drums.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: None known.

Chemical reaction with water: None which is hazardous.

Dust explosion: Under normal conditions of use this material does not

present a significant explosion hazard. However, like most

organic compounds it is combustible and may form a dust

explosion if widely dispersed in air.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Recovery from minor spillages or accidental discharge is not

economically or technically feasible, and such waste

material will be disposed of by incineration. In principle,

it may be possible to recover larger spillages of

uncontaminated material for subsequent use.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The notification tests have shown that the substance is not

considered hazardous to health. However, there are

reasonable grounds for concern over mutagenicity.

The dust hazard will be minimised by appropriate storage and

handling methods.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not recommended.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be disposed of by incineration by burning

under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment

processor in accordance with local regulations. Stack gases

should be scrubbed, because noxious fumes including carbon

and nitrogen oxides and halogen containing substances could

be formed.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged directly

tothe sewage system or the aqueous environment. However,

adverse effects on sewage treatment systems would be

unlikely.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - others: Not applicable.
