First-aid measures

Dust inhalation: Move to fresh air. Oxygen or artificial respiration if needed. Keep under medical surveillance.

Skin contact: Wash immediately, abundantly and thoroughly with soap and water. If significant contact: Keep under medical surveillance. Hospitalise.

Eye contact: Wash open eyes immediately, abundantly and thoroughly for at least 15 minutes. Consult an ophthalmologist immediately.

Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. Hospitalise.            

Protection of first-aiders: In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Protective suit

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media: dry powder

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

Thermal decomposition giving toxic products : Ammonia, nitrogen oxides, Carbon oxides, Hydrogen cyanide (hydrocyanic acid)

Precautions for fire-fighters:

Specific methods: Ensure a system for the rapid emptying of containers. In case of fire nearby, remove exposed containers. Special protective actions for fire-fighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Prohibit contact with skin and eyes and inhalation of dust.

Environmental precautions: Do not release into the environment. Do not let product enter drains.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:

Recovery: Recover the product. Do not flush with water.

Elimination: Destroy the product by incineration (in accordance with local and national regulations).

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling: Technical measures/Precautions:

Storage and handling precautions applicable to products: Solid. Harmful. Irritant. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery and at places where dust can be generated. Provide showers, eye-baths.
