Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

After inhalation: Supply fresh air; consult doctor in case of complaints.

· After skin contact: Flush skin with water.

· After eye contact: Flush eyes with water for at least 15 min. See physician if irritation persists.

None needed for small amounts. For large amounts, if conscious, give water and call physician. Do not induce

vomiting.

· Information for doctor:

· The following symptoms may occur:

Effects of Overexposure : May cause mechanical irritation to eyes.

Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure : Persons with respiratory conditions may be at increased risk.

Primary Route(s) of Entry : Inhalation, Ingestion and eyes.

Fire-fighting measures

· Suitable extinguishing agents:

CO2, powder or water spray. Fight larger fires with water spray or alcohol resistant foam.

· Protective equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.

Accidental release measures

· Person-related safety precautions:

Avoid eye contact and excessive skin contact.

Use appropriate NIOHS/MSHA approved respirator. Wear chemical gloves goggles, and lab coat.

· Measures for environmental protection:

Prevent material from contaminating soil or entering sewerage and drainage systems.

· Measures for cleaning/collecting:

Carefully contain spilled material . Deposit spilled material in appropriate waste containers for disposal.

Handling and storage

· Information for safe handling:

Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash thoroughly after handling and before mealtimes

· Information about fire - and explosion protection:

Prevent the accumulation of air borne dust/dust cloud. The potential of a dust cloud explosion exists.

Follow normal measures for preventive fire protection.

· Storage:

· Requirements to be met by storerooms and receptacles:

Provide adequate general mechanical exhaust to keep airborne levels low if user operations generate dust.

Recommended decontamination facilities: eye bath, washing facilities.

· Information about storage in one common storage facility:

Store away from oxidizing materials and strong caustic materials.

· Further information about storage conditions:

Store containers closed in ambient location away for all possible combustion sources and incompatibles.

Exposure controls / personal protection

· Ingredients with limit values that require monitoring at the workplace: Not required.

· Additional information: The lists valid during the making were used as basis.

· Personal protective equipment:

· General protective and hygienic measures:

The usual precautionary measures are to be adhered to when handling chemicals.

· Respiratory protection: Use NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator as needed to control exposure.

· Protection of hands:

The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.

Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/ the

chemical mixture.

Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation

· Material of gloves Rubber gloves.

· Penetration time of glove material

The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be

observed.

· Eye protection: Safety glasses with side shields or goggles.

Stability and reactivity

Thermal decomposition / conditions to be avoided:

No decomposition if used according to specifications.

Open flames and sparks, extreme heat, oxidizing materials.

· Materials to be avoided: Oxidizing materials and strong caustic materials can cause a reaction.

· Dangerous decomposition products: Incomplete combustion can form CO, CO2, and dense smoke.

Disposal considerations

· Recommendation

Dispose of in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

Material may be sent to an approved landfill or licensed treatment, storage, and disposal facility.
