First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures
EYES: Remove contact lenses, if present. Wash immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, opening the eyelids fully. If problem
persists, seek medical advice.
SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash immediately with plenty of water. If irritation persists, get medical advice/attention. Wash
contaminated clothing before using it again.
INHALATION: Remove to open air. In the event of breathing difficulties, get medical advice/attention immediately.
INGESTION: Get medical advice/attention. Induce vomiting only if indicated by the doctor. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person, unless authorised by a doctor.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING EQUIPMENT
The extinguishing equipment should be of the conventional kind: carbon dioxide, foam, powder and water spray.
UNSUITABLE EXTINGUISHING EQUIPMENT
None in particular.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
HAZARDS CAUSED BY EXPOSURE IN THE EVENT OF FIRE
Do not breathe combustion products. The product is combustible and, when the powder is released into the air in sufficient concentrations
and in the presence of a source of ignition, it can create explosive mixtures with air. Fires may start or get worse by leakage of the solid
product from the container, when it reaches high temperatures or through contact with sources of ignition.
Advice for firefighters
GENERAL INFORMATION
Use jets of water to cool the containers to prevent product decomposition and the development of substances potentially hazardous for
health. Always wear full fire prevention gear. Collect extinguishing water to prevent it from draining into the sewer system. Dispose of
contaminated water used for extinction and the remains of the fire according to applicable regulations.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE-FIGHTERS
Normal fire fighting clothing i.e. fire kit (BS EN 469), gloves (BS EN 659) and boots (HO specification A29 and A30) in combination with
self-contained open circuit positive pressure compressed air breathing apparatus (BS EN 137).

Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Use breathing equipment if fumes or powders are released into the air. These indications apply for both processing staff and those involved in
emergency procedures.
Environmental precautions
The product must not penetrate into the sewer system or come into contact with surface water or ground water.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Confine using earth or inert material. Collect as much material as possible and eliminate the rest using jets of water. Contaminated material
should be disposed of in compliance with the provisions with national and local regulations.

Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Before handling the product, consult all the other sections of this material safety data sheet. Avoid leakage of the product into the
environment. Do not eat, drink or smoke during use. Remove any contaminated clothes and personal protective equipment before entering
places in which people eat.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Store only in the original container. Store the containers sealed, in a well ventilated place, away from direct sunlight. Keep containers away
from any incompatible materials,

Exposure controls / personal protection
Exposure controls
During the risk assessment process, it is essential to take into consideration the ACGIH occupational exposure levels for inert particulate not
otherwise classified (PNOC respirable fraction: 3 mg/m3; PNOC inhalable fraction: 10 mg/m3). For values above these limits, use a P type
filter, whose class (1, 2 or 3) must be chosen according to the outcome of risk assessment.
As the use of adequate technical equipment must always take priority over personal protective equipment, make sure that the workplace is
well aired through effective local aspiration.
HAND PROTECTION
In the case of prolonged contact with the product, protect the hands with penetration-resistant work gloves (see standard EN 374).
Work glove material must be chosen according to the use process and the products that may form. Latex gloves may cause sensitivity
reactions.
SKIN PROTECTION
Wear category I professional long-sleeved overalls and safety footwear (see Directive 89/686/EEC and standard EN ISO 20344). Wash body
with soap and water after removing protective clothing.
EYE PROTECTION
Wear airtight protective goggles (see standard EN 166).
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
Use a type P filtering facemask, whose class (1, 2 or 3) and effective need, must be defined according to the outcome of risk assessment
(see standard EN 149).
ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE CONTROLS
The emissions generated by manufacturing processes, including those generated by ventilation equipment, should be checked to ensure
compliance with environmental standards.
