Fire-fighting measures
Recommended extinguishing agent: Dry foam, powder and water spray. Do not use water jet.
Product arising from burning: Complete combustion will lead to the formation of oxides of
carbon and nitrogen. Reduced forms of these oxides (eg.
carbon monoxide) may result from combustion in enclosed
spaces. Other possible combustion products following
incomplete oxidation may include other volatile carbon
products.
Product determined by test: N
Protective equipment: Full protective equipment including self-contained breathing
apparatus, suitable gloves, goggles and face protection
must be worn.

Accidental release measures
Emergency measures in case of spillage: The affected area will be fenced or cordoned off and
individuals will not be allowed to touch or walk through the
spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective
clothing. Dust generation will be avoided.
Suitable protective clothing will include gloves and
eye/face protection. As a minimum this will include: splash
goggles, disposable lab coat of low permeability with cuffs,
double gloves, shoe covers, and an approved respirator.
Depending upon the nature of the spill (quantity and extent
of spill), additional protective clothing and equipment such
as self-contained breathing apparatus may be needed.
Any dusts will be moistened to prevent generation of
aerosols and covered with suitable material. The substance
will be placed in a suitable properly labelled container for
disposal according to local regulations.

Handling and storage
Handling: The substance will be stored, handled, and used under
conditions of good industrial hygiene, and in conformity
with any local regulations in order to avoid exposure to the
extent technically feasible. Engineering controls in the
form of closed transfer systems with local exhaust
ventilation (with HEPA filtration) will be used at the
reactor. When engineering controls are not sufficient to
control dust exposure, approved respiratory protection in
conformance with EN 136 will be worn. For manufacturing
areas skin protection will be provided in the form of
laboratory coats (EN 340) or coveralls of low permeability
(EN 465) along with impervious nitrile, rubber and latex
gloves (EN 420, EN 374). Chemical safety goggles (EN 166)
will be worn if a full-face respirator is not being worn.
Storage: Storage will be in plastic bags in fibre drums. Small
quantities may be stored in brown glass containers. Store at
room temperature in the original container, 15-30 degC,
over dessicant material. Keep away from heat, sparks and
flames and protect from light.
Eating, drinking etc are prohibited. Access is only to
authorised personnel, appropriately gowned and conforming to
local SOPs. Work clothing is not worn outside facility. All
staff are appropriately trained in safe working procedures
and provided with information on materials and processes.

Stability and reactivity
Danger other than fire: Avoid contact with acids and oxidising agents.
Chemical reaction with water: There is not considered to be any adverse reaction with wate
r.
Dust explosion: The material exhibits strong explosion
characteristics if ignited as a dust cloud (Kst 206
bar.m/sec).
The material is very susceptible to igniting as a dust cloud
under certain conditions due to low minimum ignition energy
(20-30 mJ).
The material has low sensitivity to accumulating static
charges during processing (1.6E+5 ohm.m).
Charge decay time (ambient) < 1sec
Ignition temperature 440°C
Material begins to exhibit exothermic activity at a
temperature of 110°C. Maximum process temperatures should be
maintained at least 20°C below this onset temperature.
Powder handling equipment such as dust collectors, dryers
and mills may require additional protective measures (e.g.
explosion venting, inerting, etc.). Suitable bonding and
grounding containers and process equipment to control static
discharges and to control accumulation of static charges
will be provided. Use of inert gas will be considered to
minimize the risk of ignition.

Disposal considerations
Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Discharge to the environment will be minimal. Trace
quantities are destroyed by biological oxidation in the on-
site and local municipal wastewater treatment plants.
Recovery of larger spillages of uncontaminated material for
subsequent use is recommended. As material is used in the
process, no recycling of material is possible.
Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: No method of neutralisation is known.
Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Trace quantities are destroyed by biological oxidation in
wastewater treatment plants.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Incineration is used as standard system for treating mother
liquors. A closed-cycle incinerator with scrubbers should be
employed. National and local regulations must be observed.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged directly to
the sewage system or aqueous environment. However, there are
unlikely to be adverse effects on sewage treatment systems,
because the substance has been shown not to be unduly toxic
to sewage microorganisms.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None known
