Symptoms  :     Irritations.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Treatment  :     No data available. Treat symptomatically.  

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media:  

Suitable extinguishing media  :     All means (e.g. water, carbon dioxide, dry chemical extinguisher).

Unsuitable extinguishing media         :     Strong water jet.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

In case of fire, the product may emit toxic and/or irritating fumes.

Supposed thermal decomposition/oxidation:

Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide

Advice for firefighters:  

Special protective equipment  :     Use self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear a tight protection equipment.  

Further information  :     Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. Cool containers/tanks with water spray. Avoid discharging extinguishing water in the environment.  

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Appropriate gas full face respirator or air supplied hood depending on released quantities. Dedicated work clothes. Suitable gloves.  

Environmental precautions:

Impound and absorb on inert powdered material. (sand, cement, lime).  

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:  

General advice  :     Sweep and shovel the solid product into a container specially adapted for its recovery or destroying (avoiding dust formation). Avoid dust formation.  

Cleaning of contaminated zone         :     After cleaning up the product, rinse the polluted area with water.

Elimination of recovered materials     :     Deliver to the Environmental service of the factory or to any specialized and approved disposal company.

Reference to other sections:

Additional advice:

Evacuation of area and intervention of special services recommended.  

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:

Advice on safe handling (industrial scale):     Local ventilation and emission point fume extraction. Enclosed transfer recommended.  

Take precautionary measures against electrostatic loading. Earth vessels and equipment well.  

Advice on safe handling (laboratory scale):     Handling in a hood.  

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Requirements for storage rooms and vessels:     Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place.  

Advice on common storage  :     Do not store together with oxidizing agents.  

Further information on storage conditions:     Keep in a well closed container, away from moisture and light. Provide for a retention basin.  

Storage temperature  :     Keep at ambient temperature.

Advised packaging material  :     Glass, polyethylene, polypropylene.

Sensitivity

Humidity   :     Reacts slowly with water (hydrolysis).
