First-aid measures
· General information
Personal protection for the First Aider.
Remove any clothing soiled by the product.
Symptoms of poisoning may even occur after several hours; therefore medical observation for at least 48 hours after the accident.
· After inhalation
Take affected persons into the open air and position comfortably
Supply fresh air. If required, provide artificial respiration. Keep patient warm.
With symptoms:
Call for medical help.
In case of unconsciousness bring patient into stable side position for transport.
· After skin contact
Remove contaminated clothing.
Wash with water and rinse thoroughly. Or better wash with water and soap and rinse thoroughly.
If skin irritation continues, consult a doctor.
· After eye contact
Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water. If symptoms persist, consult Oculist.
· After swallowing
Rinse out mouth and then drink plenty of water.
Do not induce vomiting.
Call for medical help.
A vomiting person on the side, lying on the back, turn.
If vomiting, hold the head of the vomiting person low with the body in a prone position.
· Information for doctor The toxicological properties of this material have not bean fully investigated.
· The following symptoms may occur:
Irritations after contact with eyes, skin and mucous membrane.
After inhalation of dust:
Irritating to respiratory tract.
Coughing
Breathing difficulty (dyspnea)
After swallowing:
Gastric or intestinal trouble
Nausea
Vomiting
A description of possible other symptoms is not present at the moment.
· Danger
Slightly irritation on eyes skin and respiratory tract.
Inhalation of the dust should be avoided as even inert dusts may impair respiratory organ functions.
May cause blood effects.
May cause liver damage.
Damage of the bone marrow.
Damage of pancreas
There are at present no indications to further acute dangers for the health.
Further health dangers cannot be excluded however.
· Treatment
Elemental assistance.
Decontamination.
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Fire-fighting measures
· Suitable extinguishing agents
CO2, extinguishing powder or water fog. Fight larger fires with water fog or alcohol-resistant foam.
· For safety reasons unsuitable extinguishing agents Water with a full water jet.
· Special hazards caused by the material, its products of combustion or flue gases:
Formation of toxic and corrosive gases during heating or in case of fire.
Can be released in case of fire:
Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
Sulfur oxides (SOx).
Dust explosion hazard!
· Protective equipment:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Wear full protective suit.
· Additional information
Collect contaminated fire fighting water separately. It must not enter drains.
Damp down gases/fumes/haze with water spray jet.
Accidental release measures
· Person-related safety precautions:
Wear protective equipment. Keep unprotected persons away.
Use breathing protection against the effects of fumes/dust/aerosol.
Keep away from ignition sources
Avoid causing dust.
Ensure adequate ventilation
Bring persons out of danger.
· Measures for environmental protection:
Do not allow to enter sewing systems, water bodies, groundwater or soil.
Inform respective authorities in case product reaches water, sewage system or soil.
· Measures for cleaning/collecting:
Avoid causing dust.
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Collect mechanically.
Clean up affected area.
May be recycled or disposed of in appropiate containers
Handling and storage
HANDLING
Information for safe handling:
Keep containers tightly sealed.
Prevent formation of dust.
Ensure good ventilation/exhaustion at the workplace.
Information about protection against explosions and fires:
Substance/product is flammable.
Dust can combine with air to form an explosive mixture.
Fire fighting equipment must be available.
Protect from heat.
Avoid deposition of dust.
Keep ignition sources away - Do not smoke.
Protect against electrostatic charges.
STORAGE
Requirements to be met by storerooms and containers:
Store in cool location.
Store in original container if possible.
Provide floor trough without outlet.
Information about storage in one common storage facility:
Keep away from foodstuffs.
Do not store together with materials/products which can form dangerous chemical reactions.
See point 10: stability and reactivity.
Further information about storage conditions:
Store in cool, dry conditions in well sealed containers.

Exposure controls / personal protection
· Components with critical values that require monitoring at the workplace: Not required.
· Additional information: The lists that were valid during the compilation were used as basis.
Personal protective equipment
· General protective and hygienic measures
Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and food.
Instantly remove any soiled and impregnated garments.
Wash hands during breaks and at the end of the work.
Do not inhale dust / smoke / mist.
Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.
Do not eat, drink or smoke while working.
· Breathing equipment:
If used in closed systems or well-ventilated area breathing protection is not necessary.
In an emergency (e.g.: unintentional release of the substance) respiratory protection must be worn.
In case of brief exposure or low pollution use breathing filter apparatus. In case of intensive
or longer exposure use breathing apparatus that is independent of circulating air.
Filter P2 or filter P3.
· Protection of hands:
Chemical-protective gloves
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.
Check protective gloves prior to each use for their proper condition.
Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation
Preventive skin protection by use of skin-protecting agents is recommended.
· Material of gloves
No material can be recommended.
Experience says that polychloroprene, nitrile rubber, butylrubber, fluoro-caoutchouc, and polyvinyl chloride are suitable as glove materials for protection against undissolved solids.
The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.
ASK THE MANUFACTURER FOR SUITABLE MATERIAL.
· Penetration time of glove material
At the permeation time no data are present. The penetration of the glove material is impossible with dry and not gassing solids.
The exact break trough time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
Not suitable are gloves made of the following materials: Strong gloves, Leather gloves
· Eye protection:
Safety glasses with side protection.
· Body protection:
Wear dust tight protective clothing.
Antistatic protective clothing.
Apron, boots or suitable chemical protection suit.
Protective clothing should be selected specifically for the working place, depending on concentration and quantity of the hazardous substances handled. The resistance of the protective clothing to chemicals should be ascertained with the respective supplier.
