Emergency measure - Eyes: Flush thoroughly with water. Get medical attention.

Emergency measure - Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation persists.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Give some glasses of water if the person is conscious, induce vomiting immediately.  Don't give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.  Get medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water. Sprinkler/deluge system recommended.  

Product arising from burning: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water and nitrogen.    

Tests have been performed by open burning of guanylureadinitramide. The results of these tests showed that guanylureadinitramide is burning slowly and releases small amounts of heat.  

Product determined by test: Yes.  Protective equipment: Full protection equipment with self contained breathing apparatus.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Guanylureadinitramide should be collected by sweeping and put in marked containers. The spillage should be handled and disposed of as explosive waste. Rinse with a lot of water.

Handling and storage

Handling: Should be handled carefully considering the explosive  properties. Working area should have good ventilation.  Avoid skin contact when the product is handled. PPE shall  be worn in case of exposure. Prevent sparks caused by  static electricity at workplace area.  Smoking, fire or welding is not allowed in workrooms. Use  only approved equipment shall be used.  

Storage: Should be kept in dark and tight closed containers. Storage  only at places approved for explosives.  

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: GUDN is packed in dark and tight, closed containers; Packing group II.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Recovery of the substance is impossible.  

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable.  

Industry - Possibility of destruction:controlled discharge: Not recommended. The supplier prescribes that all airbags have to be blown off before the car is scrapped.  This method of destruction is absolutely safe and generates only small  amounts of emission to the environment.  

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Code 661: incineration with flue gas scrrubbing.  

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Code 641: removal by controlled discharge to a waste water treatment plant.
