Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove the patient to fresh air, and seek medical attention.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Rinse eye with running water for fifteen minutes and seek

medical attention.

Emergency measure - Skin: Wash affected area thoroughly with soap and water.  Seek

medical attention if irritation occurs.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: If the substance is swallowed, give the patient water.  Seek

immediate medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water, foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical.

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in a

fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon and nitrogen oxides,

and fluorine- and zinc-containing compounds). However, there

is no experimental evidence to support the anticipated

combustion products.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and a positive pressure,

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 damping down with water. Absorb

spillages of solutions with a suitable inert material (eg.

sand or soil). Carefully transfer the spillage to waste

containers, or use a sealed industrial vacuum machine.

Containers filled with waste material must be labelled in

the same way as the original substance containers.

Dispose of waste material in accordance with local

regulations by incineration or landfill.

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 prEN374

Chemical protective clothing to Standard EN368

Eye protection to Standard prEN166.

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: Store in closed containers to prevent dispersion of dust.

Store indoors at room temperature in the dark.

Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: 250 g polyethylene container in corrugated cardboard outer.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: None known

Chemical reaction with water: None

Dust explosion: There is a potential dust explosion hazard from this organic

powder.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: None.  The substance which is not coated in the spin-coating

process is incinerated.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The notification tests have not revealed any hazardous

properties of the substance.

The dust hazard will be minimised by appropriate storage and

handling.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers or spillages of solutions mixed with

inert material (eg. sand or soil) may 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 and fluorine- and zinc-containing compounds)

could be formed.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged directly to

the sewage system or the aqueous environment.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None
