Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Eye contact: Rinse with plenty of water.
Skin contact: Wash off with soap and plenty of water.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Drink plenty of water. Seek medical advice.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Use foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2)
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons: Water
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.
Special exposure hazards in a fire: Hazardous decomposition products
Further information: Risk of dust explosion.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions: Avoid breathing dust.
Fine dust dispersed in air may ignite. Avoid dust formation. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Environmental precautions: Try to prevent the material from entering drains or water courses.
Methods for cleaning up: Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal.
Handling and storage
Handling: Avoid dust formation. Provide adequate ventilation. Avoid exceeding of the given occupational exposure limits. Take precautionary
measures against static discharges.
Storage: Keep tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.

Exposure controls / personal protection
4 mg/m3 UK EH40 respirable dust
10 mg/m3 UK EH40 Total dust
Personal protective equipment: The resistance of the protective clothing to chemicals should be ascertained with the manufacturer/supplier.
Hygiene measures: General industrial hygiene practice.
Personal precautions: Do not breathe dust.
Eye protection: Safety glasses
Respiratory protection: Dust safety masks are recommended when the dust concentration is more than 10 mg/m3. Apply technical measures to
comply with the occupational exposure limits.
Skin and body protection: lightweight protective clothing
Stability and reactivity
Conditions to avoid: Direct sources of heat.
Materials to avoid: Strong oxidizing agents
Hazardous reactions: Dust may form explosive mixture in air.
Stable under recommended storage conditions.
Hazardous decomposition:products: In case of fire hazardous decomposition products may be produced such as: Carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), dense black smoke.
Disposal considerations
Product / Contaminated packaging: In accordance with local and national regulations.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
