Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

General advice: Immediately remove contaminated clothing. If inhaled: If difficulties occur after dust has been inhaled, remove to fresh air and seek medical attention. On skin contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. On contact with eyes: Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open, consult an eye specialist. On ingestion: Rinse mouth immediately and then drink plenty of water, induce vomiting, seek medical attention. Note to physician: Symptoms: allergic symptoms Hazards: Danger of methaemoglobin formation. Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific atidote

Fire-fighting measures

Specific hazards: harmful vapours Evolution of fumes/fog. The substances/groups of substances mentioned can be released in case of fire. Special protective equipment: Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus.
Further information: The degree of risk is governed by the burning substance and the fire conditions. Contaminated extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with official regulations.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions: Avoid dust formation. Use personal protective clothing. Environmental precautions: Contain contaminated water/firefighting water. Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater. Methods for cleaning up or taking up: For small amounts: Pick up with suitable appliance and dispose of. For large amounts: Contain with dust binding material and dispose of. Avoid raising dust.

Handling and storage

Handling Breathing must be protected when large quantities are decanted without local exhaust ventilation. Protection against fire and explosion: Avoid dust formation. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Storage Segregate from foods and animal feeds. Further information on storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed and dry; store in a cool place. Storage stability: Keep container tightly closed and dry.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection:
Suitable respiratory protection for lower concentrations or short-term effect: Particle filter EN 143 Type P3 (high efficiency (solid and liquid particles of toxic and very toxic substances)).

Hand protection:
Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN 374)
Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374):
fluoroelastomer (FKM) - 0.7 mm coating thickness
Polyethylene-Laminate (PE laminate) - ca. 0.1 mm coating thickness
Suitable materials short-term contact and/or splashes (recommended: At least protective index 2, corresponding > 30 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374)
nitrile rubber (NBR) - 0.4 mm coating thickness
Supplementary note: The specifications are based on own tests, literature data and information of glove manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined in accordance with EN 374.
Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types.

Eye protection:
Safety glasses with side-shields (frame goggles) (EN 166)

Body protection:
Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, protecting boots, chemical-protection suit (according to DIN-EN 465).

General safety and hygiene measures:
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wearing of closed work clothing is required additionally to the stated personal protection equipment.

Stability and reactivity

Thermal decomposition above the indicated temperature is possible.

Substances to avoid:
strong oxidizing agents

Hazardous decomposition products:
No hazardous decomposition products if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated.

Possible thermal decomposition products:
hydrogen chloride
nitrogen oxides

Disposal considerations

Must be dumped or incinerated in accordance with local regulations.


Contaminated packaging:
Uncontaminated packaging can be re-used.
Packs that cannot be cleaned should be disposed of in the same manner as the contents.
