Administrative data
First-aid measures
INHALATION
Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary.
Transport to hospital, or doctor, without delay.
SKIN
Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear
Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
Seek medical attention in event of irritation
EYES
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water.
Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Center or a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.
INGESTION
If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
Observe the patient carefully.
Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious.
Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably drink.
Seek medical advice.
Fire-fighting measures
SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Foam.
Dry chemical powder.
BCF (where regulations permit).
Carbon dioxide.
Water spray or fog - Large fires only.
FIRE FIGHTING
Alert Emergency Responders and tell them location and nature of hazard.
Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves
Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water course.
Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area.
DO NOT approach containers suspected to be hot.
Cool fire exposed containers with water spray from a protected location.
If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire.
Equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use.
GENERAL FIRE HAZARDS
Combustible solid which burns but propagates flame with difficulty.
Avoid generating dust, particularly clouds of dust in a confined or unventilated space as dusts may form an explosive mixture with air, and any source of ignition, i.e. flame or spark, will cause fire or explosion.
Dust clouds generated by the fine grinding of the solid are a particular hazard; accumulations of fine dust may burn rapidly and fiercely if ignited.
Dry dust can be charged electro statically by turbulence, pneumatic transport, pouring, in exhaust ducts and during transport.
Build-up of electrostatic charge may be prevented by bonding and grounding.
Powder handling equipment such as dust collectors, dryers and mills may require additional protection measures such as explosion venting.
Combustion products include: carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), other pyrolysis products typical of burning organic material.
May emit poisonous fumes.
May emit corrosive fumes.
FIRE INCOMPATIBILITY
Avoid contamination with oxidizing agents i.e. nitrates, oxidizing acids, chlorine bleaches, pool chlorine etc. as ignition may result.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Glasses: Chemical goggles
Gloves: Polychloropren etc.
Respirator: Particulate.
Accidental release measures
MINOR SPILLS
Remove all ignition sources.
Clean up all spills immediately.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Control personal contact by using protective equipment.
Use dry clean up procedures and avoid generating dust.
Place in a suitable, labeled container for waste disposal.
MAJOR SPILLS
Moderate hazard.
CAUTION: Advise personnel in area.
Alert Emergency Responders and tell them location and nature of hazard.
Control personal contact by wearing protective clothing.
Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water courses.
Recover product wherever possible.
IF DRY: Use dry clean up procedures and avoid generating dust. Collect residues and place in sealed plastic bags or other containers for disposal. IF WET: Vacuum/shovel up and place in labeled containers for disposal.
ALWAYS: Wash area down with large amounts of water and prevent runoff into drains.
If contamination of drains or waterways occurs, advise emergency services.

Exposure controls / personal protection
APPROPRIATE ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Local exhaust ventilation is required where solids are handled as powders or crystals; even when particulates are relatively large, a certain proportion will be powdered by mutual friction.
Exhaust ventilation should be designed to prevent accumulation and recirculation of particulates in the workplace.
If in spite of local exhaust an adverse concentration of the substance in air could occur, respiratory protection should be considered. Such protection might consist of:
(a): particle dust respirators, if necessary, combined with an absorption cartridge.
(b): filter respirators with absorption cartridge or canister of the right type.
(c): fresh-air hoods or masks.
Build-up of electrostatic charge on the dust particle, may be prevented by bonding and grounding.
Powder handling equipment such as dust collectors, dryers and mills may require additional protection measures such as explosion venting.
Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air required to efficiently remove the contaminant.
(A)Type of Contaminant:
Direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, drum filling, conveyer loading,
crusher dusts, gas discharge (active generation into zone of rapid air motion).
(a)Air Speed:
1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min.)
(B)Type of Contaminant:
Grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high speed wheel generated dusts (released at high initial velocity into zone of very high rapid air motion).
(b)Air Speed:
2.5-10 m/s (500-2000 f/min.)
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:
(A)Lower end of the range
1: Room air currents minimal or favorable to capture.
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of nuisance value only.
3: Intermittent, low production.
4: Large hood or large air mass in motion.
(B)Upper end of the range
1: Disturbing room air currents.
2: Contaminants of high toxicity.
3: High production, heavy use.
4: Small hood-local control only.
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening of a simple extraction pipe.
Velocity generally decreases with the square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases).
Therefore the air speed at the extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminating source.
The air velocity at the extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 4-10 m/s (800-2000 f/min) for extraction of crusher dusts generated 2 meters distant from the extraction point.
Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits within the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or used.

Type B: for use against certain inorganic gases and other acid gases and vapors.
Type E: for use against sulfur dioxide and other acid gases and vapors.
Type K: for use against ammonia and organic ammonia derivatives
Class P1: intended for use against mechanically generated particulates of sizes most commonly encountered in industry, e.g. asbestos, silica.
Class P2: intended for use against both mechanically and thermally generated particulates, e.g. metal fume.
Class P3: intended for use against all particulates containing highly toxic materials, e.g. beryllium.
The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use determine the type of personal protective equipment required.
Use appropriate NIOSH-certified respirator based on informed professional judgment.
In conditions where no reasonable estimate of exposure can be made, assume the exposure is in a concentration IDLH and use NIOSH-certified full face pressure demand SCBA with a minimum service life of 30 minutes, or a combination full facepiece pressure demand SAR with auxiliary self-contained air supply.
Respirators provided only for escape from IDLH atmospheres shall be NIOSH-certified for escape from the atmosphere in which they will be used.
For further information consult your Occupational Health and Safety Advisor.
HAND/SKIN/BODY PROTECTION
NOTE: The material may produce skin sensitization in predisposed individuals. Care must be taken, when removing gloves and other protective equipment, to avoid all possible skin contact.
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Factors such as:
(1)frequency and duration of contact
(2)chemical resistance of glove material
(3)glove thickness
(4)dexterity
are important in the selection of gloves.
Experience indicates that the following polymers are suitable as glove materials for protection against undissolved, dry solids, where abrasive particles are not present.
1)polychloroprene
(2)nitrile rubber
(3)butyl rubber
(4)fluorocaoutchouc
(5)polyvinyl chloride
Gloves should be examined for wear and/ or degradation constantly.
EYE/FACE PROTECTION
Safety glasses with side shields.
Chemical goggles.
Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all lenses concentrate them. DO NOT wear contact lenses.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
P.V.C. apron.
Barrier cream.
Skin cleansing cream.
Eye wash unit.
Respirators may be necessary when engineering and administrative controls do not adequately prevent exposures.
The decision to use respiratory protection should be based on professional judgment that takes into account toxicity information, exposure measurement data, and frequency and likelihood of the worker's exposure - ensure users are not subject to high thermal loads which may result in heat stress or distress due to personal protective equipment (powered, positive flow, full face apparatus may be an option).
Published occupational exposure limits, where they exist, will assist in determining the adequacy of the selected respiratory.
These may be government mandated or vendor recommended.
Certified respirators will be useful for protecting workers from inhalation of particulates when properly selected and fit tested as part of a complete respiratory protection program.
Use approved positive flow mask if significant quantities of dust becomes airborne.
Try to avoid creating dust conditions.

Disposal considerations
DISPOSAL METHODS
All waste must be handled in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
Puncture containers to prevent re-use and bury at an authorized landfill.
Legislation addressing waste disposal requirements may differ by country, state and/or territory. Each user must refer to laws operating in their area. In some areas, certain wastes must be tracked.
A Hierarchy of Controls seems to be common - the user should investigate:
(1)Reduction
(2)Reuse
(3)Recycling
(4)Disposal (if all else fails)
This material may be recycled if unused, or if it has not been contaminated so as to make it unsuitable for its intended use. Shelf life considerations should also be
applied in making decisions of this type. Note that properties of a material may change.
DO NOT allow wash water from cleaning equipment to enter drains. Collect all wash water for treatment before disposal.
Recycle wherever possible.
Consult manufacturer for recycling options or consult Waste Management Authority for disposal if no suitable treatment or disposal facility can be identified.
Dispose of by: Burial in a licensed land-fill or Incineration in a licensed apparatus (after admixture with suitable combustible material).
Decontaminate empty containers. Observe all label safeguards until containers are cleaned and destroyed.
