Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
In case of skin contact : In case of contact, immediately flush skin with soap and plenty
of water.
Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
In case of eye contact : In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes.
If easy to do, remove contact lens, if worn.

so by medical personnel.

Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal precautions : Use personal protective equipment.
Follow safe handling advice and personal protective equip-
ment recommendations.
Environmental precautions
Environmental precautions : Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water.
Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages
cannot be contained.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for cleaning up : Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable con-
tainer for disposal.
Avoid dispersal of dust in the air (i.e., clearing dust surfaces
with compressed air).
Local or national regulations may apply to releases and dis-
posal of this material, as well as those materials and items
employed in the cleanup of releases. You will need to deter-
mine which regulations are applicable.

Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Technical measures : See Engineering measures under EXPOSURE
CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION section.
Local/Total ventilation : Use only with adequate ventilation.
Advice on safe handling : Do not breathe dust.
Do not swallow.
Do not get in eyes.
Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin.
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety
practice, based on the results of the workplace exposure as-
sessment
Minimize dust generation and accumulation.
Keep container closed when not in use.
Take care to prevent spills, waste and minimize release to the
environment.
Hygiene measures : If exposure to chemical is likely during typical use, provide eye
flushing systems and safety showers close to the working
place. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash contami-
nated clothing before re-use.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Requirements for storage areas and containers : Keep in properly labelled containers. Store in accordance with
the particular national regulations.
Advice on common storage : Do not store with the following product types:
Strong oxidizing agents

Exposure controls / personal protection
Exposure controls
Engineering measures
Processing may form hazardous compounds.
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas.
Minimize workplace exposure concentrations.
Ensure that dust-handling systems (such as exhaust ducts, dust collectors, vessels, and pro-
cessing equipment) are designed in a manner to prevent the escape of dust into the work area
(i.e., there is no leakage from the equipment).
Personal protective equipment
Eye protection : Wear the following personal protective equipment:
Safety goggles
Equipment should conform to BS EN 166
Hand protection
Material : Chemical-resistant gloves
Remarks : Choose gloves to protect hands against chemicals depending
on the concentration and quantity of the hazardous sub-
stance and specific to place of work. Breakthrough time is not
determined for the product. Change gloves often! For special
applications, we recommend clarifying the resistance to
chemicals of the aforementioned protective gloves with the
glove manufacturer. Wash hands before breaks and at the
end of workday.
Skin and body protection : Select appropriate protective clothing based on chemical
resistance data and an assessment of the local exposure
potential.
Skin contact must be avoided by using impervious protective
clothing (gloves, aprons, boots, etc).
Respiratory protection : If adequate local exhaust ventilation is not available or expo-
sure assessment demonstrates exposures outside the rec-
ommended guidelines, use respiratory protection.
Equipment should conform to BS EN 14387
Filter type : Combined particulates and acidic gas/vapour type (E-P)
