First-aid measures

As a general rule, in case of doubt or if symptoms persist, always call a doctor.

NEVER induce swallowing by an unconscious person.

.1. Description of first aid measures

In the event of exposure by inhalation :

In the event of massive inhalation of dust, remove the person exposed to fresh air. Keep warm and at rest.

If the person is unconscious, place in recovery position. Notify a doctor in all events, to ascertain whether observation and supportive hospital

care will be necessary.

If breathing is irregular or has stopped, effect mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and call a doctor.

In the event of splashes or contact with eyes :

Wash thoroughly with fresh, clean water for 15 minutes holding the eyelids open.

If there is any redness, pain or visual impairment, consult an ophthalmologist.

In the event of splashes or contact with skin :

Watch out for any remaining product between skin and clothing, watches, shoes, etc.

In the event of swallowing :

Do not give the patient anything orally.

In the event of swallowing, if the quantity is small (no more than one mouthful), rinse the mouth with water and consult a doctor.

Seek medical attention immediately, showing the label.

Fire-fighting measures

Non-flammable.

.1. Extinguishing media

Suitable methods of extinction

In the event of a fire, use :

All means of extinstion can be used.

Unsuitable methods of extinction

In the event of a fire, do not use :

Strong water jet

.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

A fire will often produce a thick black smoke. Exposure to decomposition products may be hazardous to health.

Do not breathe in smoke.

In the event of a fire, the following may be formed :

- carbon monoxide (CO)

- carbon dioxide (CO2)

- nitrogen oxide (NO)

- nitrogen dioxide (NO2)

.3. Advice for firefighters

Due to the toxicity of the gas emitted on thermal decomposition of the products, fire-fighting personnel are to be equipped with autonomous

insulating breathing apparatus.

Accidental release measures

.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Consult the safety measures listed under sections "Handling and Storage" and "Exposure controls/ personal protection".

For non first aid worker

Avoid inhaling dust.

If a large quantity has been spilt, evacuate all personnel and only allow intervention by trained operators equipped with safety apparatus.

For first aid worker

First aid workers will be equipped with suitable personal protective equipment (See section "Exposure controls / Personal protection").

.2. Environmental precautions

Prevent any material from entering drains or waterways.

.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Retrieve the product by mechanical means (sweeping/vacuuming) : do not generate dust.

Handling and storage

Requirements relating to storage premises apply to all facilities where the substance is handled.

.1. Precautions for safe handling

Always wash hands after handling.

Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-using.

Fire prevention :

Handle in well-ventilated areas.

Prevent access by unauthorised personnel.

Recommended equipment and procedures :

For personal protection, see section "Exposure controls / Personal protection" .

Observe precautions stated on label and also industrial safety regulations.

Avoid inhaling dust.

Also provide breathing apparatus for certain short tasks of an exceptional nature and for emergency interventions.

In all cases, recover emissions at source.

Prohibited equipment and procedures :

No smoking, eating or drinking in areas where the substance is used.

.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Guard against electrostatic discharge.

Keep only in the original container at a temperature not exceeding : +4 ° C

Storage

Keep the container tightly closed in a dry, well-ventilated place.

Provide earthing of containers.

Packaging

Always keep in packaging made of an identical material to the original

Exposure controls / personal protection

.1. Exposure controls

Personal protection measures, such as personal protective equipment.

Pictogram(s) indicating the obligation of wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) :

Protective gloves/ protective glasses and mask

Use personal protective equipment that is clean and has been properly maintained.

Store personal protective equipment in a clean place, away from the work area.

Never eat, drink or smoke during use. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-using. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation,

especially in confined areas.

- Eye / face protection

Avoid contact with eyes.

Before handling powders or dust emission, wear mask goggles in accordance with standard EN166.

- Hand protection

Wear suitable protective gloves in the event of prolonged or repeated skin contact.

Use suitable protective gloves that are resistant to chemical agents in accordance with standard EN374.

Gloves must be selected according to the application and duration of use at the workstation.

Protective gloves need to be selected according to their suitability for the workstation in question : other chemical products that may be

handled, necessary physical protections (cutting, pricking, heat protection), level of dexterity required.

- Body protection

Work clothing worn by personnel shall be laundered regularly.

After contact with the product, all parts of the body that have been soiled must be washed.

- Respiratory protection

Avoid breathing dust.

If the ventilation is insufficient, wear appropriate breathing apparatus.

When workers are confronted with concentrations that are above occupational exposure limits, they must wear a suitable, approved,

respiratory protection device.

Wear a disposable half-mask dust filter in accordance with standard EN149.
