Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove from exposure area and allow to rest in fresh air.

Seek medical advice.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Irrigate with clean running water for 15 minutes. If

irritation occurs, consult a physician.

Emergency measure - Skin: Remove contaminated clothing and wash promptly exposed areas

with soap and water. If irritation occurs, consult a

physician.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Seek medical attention urgently.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water.

Product arising from burning: May combust in the event of a fire producing noxious fumes

including oxides of nitrogen and carbon.

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: Evacuate personnel from immediate vicinity.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment conforming to

the relevant national or international standards, as

mentioned in section 2.3.10.

Avoid dust formation by absorbing spillages with an

industrial vacuum machine sweep up in to waste containers.

Containers filled with waste material must be labelled in

the same way as the original substance containers.

Clean the spillage area with water.

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.

Engineering controls are necessary to reduce exposure to the

substance.

When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled

appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn.

Such protective equipment should conform to the appropriate

international or national standards as follows;

- Chemical protective gloves to Standard EN374

- Chemical protective clothing to Standard EN368

- Eye protection to Standard EN166.

Furthermore, when respiratory protective equipment has to be

used, it must be capable of adequately controlling exposure,

be suitable for the purpose, and conform to the appropriate

international or national standards, such as a dust mask

conforming to EN149 FFP1.

These measures should be regarded as a minimum.

Storage: Keep containers tightly closed at room temperature and away

from moisture. Store in darkness but may be used/formulated

in light.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: The notified chemical is packaged in double polyethylene

bags and covered by fibre drum. All fibre drums have the

capacity of 90 L; 443 mm (outside diameter) X 657 mm

(height).

While the inner and outer polyethylene bags are made of LDPE

and HDPE co-extruded; 80 micron meter, 710 mm x 1300 mm.

SpecialProvisions

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: None known.

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.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

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 or landfill. In principle, it

may be possible to recover larger spillages of

uncontaminated material for subsequent use.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable as no hazardous properties have been

identified as a result of the notification.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers or spillages of solutions should be

mixed with inert material (eg. sand or soil) and  be

disposed of by landfill at an authorised tip in accordance

with local regulations.

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: Although minimal quantities of the substance may be

discharged directly to the sewage system or aqueous

environment (during cleaning of culture dishes, contaminated

clothings etc no adverse effects on the aqueous enviornment

are anticipated.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable.
