First-aid measures

Description of necessary first-aid measures:

General advice:

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.

Inhalation:

Move to fresh air. Oxygen or artificial respiration if needed. In case of persistent problems : Consult a physician. Dust inhalation: Blow nose.

Skin contact:

Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water.

Eye contact:

Dusts : Wash well-open eyes immediately, abundantly and thoroughly with water. Remove particles remaining under the eyelids. If irritation

persists, consult an ophthalmologist.

Ingestion:

Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Consult a physician.

Protection of first-aiders:

Protective suit. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: No data available.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Treatment: Treat symptomatically.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media:

Suitable extinguishing media:

Water spray, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Foam, Dry chemical

Unsuitable extinguishing media:

Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.Fine dust dispersed in air may ignite, risk of dust explosion.

Specific hazards arising from the chemical:

Thermal decomposition giving flammable and toxic products :

Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Sulphur oxides, hydrogen chloride,Hazardous organic compounds.

Dust may form explosive mixture in air.

Advice for firefighters:

Special protective actions for fire-fighters:

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Wear personal protective equipment. Please refer to section "Exposure controls/personal protection". Evacuate non-essential staff and those not equipped with individual protection apparatus. Prohibit all sources of sparks and ignition - Do not smoke. Avoid dust formation.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes and inhalation of dust. In the case of respirable dust, use self-contained breathing apparatus. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.

Environmental precautions:

Do not release into the environment. Do not flush into surface water. Do not let product enter drains. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:

Methods for cleaning up:

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Dust deposits should not be allowed to accumulate on surfaces, as these may form an explosive mixture if they are released into the atmosphere in sufficient concentration. Ventilate the area.

Recovery:

Remove spillage with vacuum cleaner. If not possible, collect spillage with shovel, broom or the like. Collect and place in suitable waste disposal containers and seal securely.

Elimination:

Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:

Technical measures/Precautions:

Storage and handling precautions applicable to products: Solid. Dust forming. Forming EXPLOSIVE mixtures with air. Dangerous for the environment.

Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery. Provide self-contained breathing apparatus nearby. Provide showers, eye-baths. Provide electrical earthing of equipment.

Safe handling advice:

Avoid dust formation. In case of dust formation, wear a dust mask. Avoid accumulation of static charges during transfers in metallic systems.Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Do not smoke.

Hygiene measures:

When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and inhalation of dust.

Wash hands after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Store in original container. Keep in a dry, cool place. Protect from light. Store in well ventilated area away from heat and sources of ignition such as flame, sparks and static electricity. Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge. Provide electrical earthing of equipment and electrical equipment usable in explosive atmospheres. Ensure all equipment is electrically grounded before beginning transfer operations.

Stable for at least 2 year(s) at 20°C in a sealed container in the dark.

Incompatible products:

Strong oxidizing agents, Strong acids, strong bases, Strong reducing agents.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure controls:

General protective measures: Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery and at places where dust can be generated. Ensure ventilation of work areas and extraction of dust or vapours likely to be given off during conversion operations (product handled when hot).

Personal protective equipment:

Respiratory protection: In the case of respirable dust, use self-contained breathing apparatus.

Effective dust mask Recommended Filter type: P2

Consult respirator manufacturer to determine appropriate type equipment for a given application.

Hand protection: Protective gloves complying with EN 374.Nitrile rubber gloves.

Consult glove manufacturer to determine appropriate type glove material for given application.,

The choice of an appropriate glove does not only depend on its material but also on other quality

features and is different from one producer to the other.

Eye/face protection: Where eye contact may be likely, wear chemical goggles and have eye flushing equipment available.

Safety glasses with side-shields

Skin and body protection: Protective suit.

Stability and reactivity

Chemical stability:

The product is stable under normal handling and storage conditions.

Possibility of hazardous reactions:

Hazardous polymerisation does not occur.

In the presence of an ignition source: Dust may form explosive mixture in air.

Conditions to avoid:

Avoid dust formation. Protect from heat. Avoid direct sunlight.

Sparks, flames, ignition points and static electricity.

Incompatible materials to avoid:

Strong reducing agents, Strong oxidizing agents, Strong acids, strong bases.

Hazardous decomposition products:

Thermal decomposition:

Decomposition temperature: 272 °C

Thermal decomposition giving flammable and toxic products :

Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Sulphur oxides, hydrogen chloride, Hazardous organic compounds.

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods:

Disposal of product:

Do not release into the environment. Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.

Disposal of packaging:

Empty containers should be taken to an approved waste handling site for recycling or disposal.

In accordance with local and national regulations.
