Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Skin Contact: Wash exposed area twice with soap and water. The exposed area should be examined by medical
personnel if irritation or pain persists after the area has been washed. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists
Eye contact: Rinse eyes immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the
eyelids. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure area to fresh air immediately. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration.
Keep affected person warm and at rest. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Ingestion: If swallowed, contact physician or poison control center immediately. Give oxygen if respiration is
shallow. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Fire-fighting measures
1. Extinguishing media
Appropriate Extinguishing Media:
Water fog Foam Carbon dioxide Dry chemical
2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Hazardous Products of Combustion:
Toxic fumes may be released upon thermal decomposition (cyanides, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide).
Potential for Dust Explosion:
No data available -- handle in a manner that prevents generation of potentially explosive dust.
Special Flammability Hazards:
Not applicable.
3. Advice for firefighters
Basic Fire Fighting Guidence:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing (i.e., Bunker gear). Skin and eye contact should be avoided. Normal fire fighting procedures may be used.
Flammability Classification (OSHA):
Not applicable
Accidental release measures
1. Personal Precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Evacuation Procedures:
Isolate the hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary and unprotected personnel. Isolate the
hazard area and deny entry to unnecessary and unprotected personne
Special Instructions:
Remove all contaminated clothing to prevent further absorption. Decontaminate affected personnel
using the first aid procedures in Section 4. Leather shoes that have been saturated must be
discarded. Remove all contaminated clothing to prevent further absorption.
2. Environmental precautions
Prevent releases to soils, drains, sewers, and waterways
3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Containment Techniques and Clean-up Procedures:
Remove all ignition sources. Ventilate the area of spill or leak. Wear protective equipment during
clean-up. Material can then be collected for later disposal. After collection of material, flush area
with water. Dispose of the material in accordance with standard practice for disposal of potentially
hazardous materials as required by applicable federal, state or local laws.
Special Reporting Requirements:
Notify appropriate authorities if required by regulation. See Section 15 for additional information.
Handling and storage
1. Precautions for safe handling
Precautions for Unique Hazards:
Not applicable
Practices to Minimize Risk:
Wear appropriate protective equipment when performing maintenance on contaminated equipment. Wash hands thoroughly before eating or smoking after handling this material. Wear appropriate protective equipment when performing maintenance on contaminated equipment
Special handling equipment:
Not applicable
2. Conditions for safe storage, including any imcompatibilities
Storage Precautions and Recommendations:
Maintain dry, ventilated conditions for storage. Protect containers against physical damage. Keep away from strong acids and oxidizing agents.
Dangerous Incompatibility Reactions:
Avoid contact with strong acids and oxidizing agents
Incompatibilities with Material of Construction:
none known

Exposure controls / personal protection
1. Control Parameters
Exposure Limits (United States): OSHA PEL: Not establish ACGIH TLV: Not establish
2. Exposure controls
Personal Protective Equipment:
Where overexposures are a concern, use NIOSH-approved dust/mist respirator as necessary. Safety
glasses or chemical goggles. Neoprene, nitrile or PVC-coated gloves. Work uniforms or impervious
clothing and boots
Respirator Caution:
Observe OSHA regulations for respirator use (29 CFR 1910.134). Air-purifying respirators must not
be used in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Ventilation:
All operations should be conducted in well-ventilated conditions. Local exhaust ventilation should be
provided. All operations should be conducted in well-ventilated conditions. Local exhaust ventilation
should be provided
Other Engineering Controls:
All appropriate engineering controls should be used to minimize exposure potential. Use exhaust
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below exposure limits. All appropriate engineering controls
should be used to minimize exposure potential
Thermal Hazards: Not applicable
Additive or Synergistic Effects: none known
Stability and reactivity
1. Reactivity
Not classified as dangerously reactive
2. Chemical Stability
Stable materials containing similar structural groups are normally stable
Disposal considerations
1. Waste Treatment Methods
US EPA Waste Number:
Non-Hazardous
Waste Classification: (per US regulations)
The waste may be classified as "special" or hazardous per State regulations.
NOTE: Generator is responsible for proper waste characterization. State (USA) hazardous waste
regulations may differ substantially from federal (USA) regulations.
Waste Disposal:
Dispose of this material in accordance with standard practice for disposal of potentially hazardous
materials as required by applicable international, national, regional, state or local laws. Do NOT dump
into any sewers, on the ground, or into any body of water. For disposal within the EC, the appropriate
code according to the European Waste Catalogue (EWC) should be used. Note that disposal
regulations may also apply to empty containers and equipment rinsates
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
