First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures General information: Immediately remove any clothing soiled by the product.
After inhalation: Supply fresh air; consult doctor in case of complaints.
After skin contact: Immediately wash with water and soap and rinse thoroughly.
After eye contact: Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water. If symptoms persist,
consult a doctor.
After swallowing: If symptoms persist consult doctor.
Eyes: Dust may irritate eyes mechanically.
Possible routes of intake: Intake by swallowing or inhalation of dust.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing agents: All suitable extinguishing media may be used.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
The possibility of formation of explosive dust/air mixtures under certain conditions should be basically considered during handling and processing.
In case of fire, the following can be released: Carbon oxide (CO & CO2)
Advice for firefighters, Protective equipment: Wear self-contained respiratory protective device.
Chemical resistant protective suit. Under the protective suit a fire protective suit according to EN 469 should be applied.
Accidental release measures
Wear protective clothing.
Avoid contact with eyes and skin and clothes.
Do not breathe dust.
Access only for trained personnel with personal protective equipment.
Use respiratory protective device against the effects of fumes/dust/ aerosol.
Remove persons from danger area.
Keep away unprotected persons.
Avoid spillage of product into the environment.
Avoid formation of dust.
Implementation of further measures based on existing emergency plans.
Environmental precautions: Keep contaminated washing water and dispose of appropriately.
Inform respective authorities in case of seepage into water course or sewage system.
Do not allow undiluted product or large quantities of it to reach ground water, water course or sewage system.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Pick up mechanically. If formation of dust cannot be avoided use respiratory filter device.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling: Empty containers must not be used for other products.
Contaminated protective equipment should be cleaned before taking it off.
Any unavoidable deposit of dust must be completely removed.
Ensure good ventilation/exhaustion at the workplace.
Fill only in dedicated and assigned containers. Keep containers tightly sealed.
Requirements to be met by storerooms and receptacles: Store in a dry location, keep away from humidity. Store in a cool location.
Corrosion of metals: No corroding action on metals (expert statement).

Exposure controls / personal protection
Additional information about design of technical facilities: Take care of sufficient ventilation. Avoid formation of dust.
Waste gases should be led into the atmosphere only via appropriate separators, scrubbers or incinerators.
General protective and hygienic measures: Contaminated protective suit shall be cleaned before taking it off.
Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed.
Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work.
Store protective clothing separately.
Respiratory protection: Particle filter. The filter grade (P1 - P3) has to be established depending on
work-place related limit values and the actual exposition.
Protection of hands: Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation.
The following materials are known from experience to be suitable for protection against undissolved solids: rubber.
Eye protection: Safety glasses
Body protection: Necessary protective suit has to be selected individually based on risk assessment.
Limitation and supervision of exposure into the environment: Avoid spillage of product into the environment.
If possible use this material only in closed systems and devices. In case of open plant systems (sampling devices, filling and discharging, cleansing works etc.) pre-clean and use local exhaust and collecting trays. Follow emission limit values. Measures in case of unwanted emissions should be established.
Risk management measures:
General protective and hygienic measures have to be observed. Handling and use of this material/
formulation only under controlled conditions in closed systems.
Employees who use this material/formulation must be trained and instructed about
possible risks for man and environment.
Measures for prevention of hazards in case of unwanted leakage shall be implemented.
Stability and reactivity
Thermal decomposition / conditions to be avoided: Heating. Incompatible materials: Strong oxidizing agents.
Hazardous decomposition products: Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Disposal considerations
Must not be disposed together with household garbage. Do not allow product to reach sewage
system.
Must be specially treated adhering to official regulations. If possible recovery or recycling.
Empty contaminated packagings thoroughly. They may be recycled after thorough and proper cleaning.
Contaminated containers or containers with residual amounts must be treated as hazardous wastes.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
