Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Using appropriate personal protective equipment, move

exposed subject to fresh air. If breathing is difficult or

ceases, ensure and maintain ventilation. Give oxygen as

appropriate. The exposed subject should be kept warm and at

rest. Obtain medical attention in cases of known or possible

over exposure, or symptoms including chest pain, difficulty

breathing, loss of consciousness or other adverse effects,

which may be delayed.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Wash immediately with clean and gently flowing water.

Continue for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention.

Emergency measure - Skin: Using appropriate personal protective equipment, remove

contaminated clothing and flush exposed area with large

amounts of water. Obtain medical attention if skin reaction

occurs, which may be immediate or delayed.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Never attempt to induce vomiting. Do not attempt to give any

solid or liquid by mouth if the exposed subject is

unconscious or semi-conscious. Wash out with water. If  the

exposed subject is fully conscious, give plenty of water to

drink. Obtain medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: No special requirements needed. Water is recommended for

fires involving packaging.

Product arising from burning: This material is non-combustible.

Toxic, corrosive or flammable thermal decomposition products

are expected when the material is exposed to fire.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing

apparatus must be worn.

Fight the fire from a safe distance or protected location.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Fence or cordon the affected area and do not allow

individuals to touch or walk through the spilled material

unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.

Avoid dust formation.

Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, surface drainage

systems and poorly ventilated areas. If spill is outdoors,

cover with plastic sheet to minimise spreading or contact

with rain.

For clean-up collect and place it in a suitable, properly

labelled container for recovery or disposal. After all solid

or absorbent material has been collected, the area should

be vacuumed with HEPA filter-equipped apparatus.

No specific decontamination or detoxification procedures

have been identified for this material. Consider use of

water, detergent solutions, or other soluble solvents, for

clean-up and decontamination operations.

Dispose of waste material in accordance with local

regulations by incineration.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be stored, handled and used under

conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with

any local regulations in order to avoid exposure.

Avoid dispersion as a dust cloud.

Depending upon the scale of the operation, use of

appropriate exhaust ventilation is recommended to provide

routine control of fire and explosion hazards during

handling of this material.

Ignition Controls: Bond and earth (ground) all plant and

equipment to ensure that no isolated conductors are present.

Isolated conductors can accumulate sufficient electrostatic

charge to produce discharges of many hundreds of milli-

Joules. Consider earthing (grounding) personnel dealing with

dusty operations. The maximum surface temperature of

enclosures potentially exposed to this material should be

the lower of the values obtained by taking 2/3 of the

minimum ignition temperature for a dust cloud or 75 K less

than the minimum ignition temperature of the dust layer,

with a maximum temperature of 325 Deg C.

Protective Systems: Assess operations based upon available

dust explosion information to determine the suitability of

preventive or protective systems as precautionary measures

against possible dust explosions. If prevention is not

possible, consider protection by use of containment, venting

or suppression of dust handling equipment. Where explosion

venting is considered the most appropriate method of

protection, vent areas should preferably be calculated based

on the Kst rather than the St value. If nitrogen purging is

considered as the protective system, it must operate with

an oxygen level below the limiting oxygen concentration. The

system should include an oxygen monitoring and shut down

facility in the event of excessive oxygen being detected.

At both ambient and low humidity, this material is of low

conductivity. Generation of electrostatic charge is

considered likely to occur even when handled in an earthed

(grounded) environment.

At both ambient and low humidity, this material has a very

long charge relaxation time. Accumulation of electrostatic

charge is considered very likely to occur even when handled

in an earthed environment. Under these conditions, it is

considered that this material might present a very high risk

of producing an electrostatic discharge.

Storage: Keep in tightly closed containers or packages away from

moisture and away from sources of ignition.

Avoid prolonged storage at elevated temperatures (greater

than room temperature, approximately 20 degrees C).

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: 50 litre containers.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: Avoid direct sunlight, conditions that might generate heat

and dispersion as a dust cloud.

Chemical reaction with water: None which is hazardous.

Dust explosion: Under normal conditions of use this material does not

present a significant explosion hazard. However, like most

organic compounds it is combustible and may form a dust

explosion if widely dispersed in air.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Discharge to the environment will be minimal. Recovery from

minor spillages or accidental discharge is not economically

or technically feasible, and such waste material will be

disposed of by incineration. In principle, it  may be

possible to recover larger spillages of uncontaminated

material for subsequent use.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The notification tests have shown that the substance is

dangerous to the environment.

No chemical treatment is practicable to neutralise the

hazardous environmental properties.

The dust hazard will be minimised by good industrial hygiene

and the use of appropriate PPE and LEV.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: None recommended.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be disposed of by incineration by burning

under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment

processor in accordance with local regulations. Stack gases

should be scrubbed, because noxious fumes (eg. carbon and

nitrogen oxides) could be formed.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged directly

tothe sewage system or the aqueous environment.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None.
