First-aid measures

Remove contaminated clothing.

If inhaled: Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention.

On skin contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water.

On contact with eyes: Wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open.

On ingestion: Rinse mouth and then drink plenty of water.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Symptoms: No significant symptoms are expected due to the non-classification of the product.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Treatment: Symptomatic treatment (decontamination, vital functions).

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media: dry powder, foam

Unsuitable extinguishing media for safety reasons: carbon dioxide

Additional information: Avoid whirling up the material/product because of the danger of dust explosion.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

harmful vapours

Evolution of fumes/fog. The substances/groups of substances mentioned can be released in case of fire.

Advice for fire-fighters

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. Dusty conditions may ignite explosively in the presence of an ignition source causing flash fire.

Accidental release measures

Avoid the formation and build-up of dust - danger of dust explosion. Dust in sufficient concentration can result in an explosive mixture in air. Handle to minimize dusting and eliminate open flame and other sources of ignition.

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Avoid dust formation. Use personal protective clothing.

Environmental precautions

Contain contaminated water/firefighting water. Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning 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. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with regulations.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:

Provide exhaust ventilation.

Protection against fire and explosion:

Avoid dust formation. The product is capable of dust explosion. Take precautionary measures

against static discharges. Avoid all sources of ignition: heat, sparks, open flame.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Suitable materials for containers: High density polyethylene (HDPE), Low density polyethylene (LDPE), Stainless steel 1.4361, Stainless steel 1.4539, Stainless steel 1.4306 (V2A), Stainless steel 1.4541, Stainless steel 1.4571, Stainless steel 1.4439, Stainless steel 1.4301 (V2), Stainless steel 1.4401

Further information on storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed and dry; store in a cool place.

The packed product is not damaged by low temperatures or by frost.

The packed product will not be damaged by high temperatures.

consumer:

Long-term exposure- systemic effects, oral: 17 mg/kg bw/day

Exposure controls:

Personal protective equipment:

Respiratory protection: Suitable respiratory protection for lower concentrations or short-term effect: Particle filter with

medium efficiency for solid and liquid particles (e.g. EN 143 or 149, Type P2 or FFP2)

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):

e.g. nitrile rubber (0.4 mm), chloroprene rubber (0.5 mm), polyvinylchloride (0.7 mm) and other

Supplementary note: The specifications are based on 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 through testing.

Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types.

Eye protection: Safety glasses with side-shields (frame goggles) (e.g. 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 EN 14605 in case of splashes or EN ISO 13982 in case

of dust).

General safety and hygiene measures: Wearing of closed work clothing is recommended.

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.
