4. FIRST AID MEASURES

4.1 Description of first aid measures

General Advice Immediately remove contaminated clothing, take care not to contaminate unaffected areas. Dust is associated with this product.
Inhalation IF INHALED: Contains component irritating by inhalation. Move the exposed person to fresh air. Seek medical attention.
Eyes IF IN EYES: Rinse immediately with running water for at least 15 minutes holding the eyelid open; consult an eye specialist if irritation persists.
Skin IF ON SKIN: Wash thoroughly with water and soap
If skin irritation or rash occurs get medical attention (P333+P313)
Ingestion IF SWALLOWED: Immediately rinse the mouth with water and drink plenty of water. Obtain medical attention immediately, show this safety data sheet.

 

4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Symptoms Eye contact – May cause temporary eye irritation due to mechanical action.
Risks No information available


4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Treatment Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific antidote.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

5.1 Extinguishing media
Suitable: CO2 or dry chemical spray, water spray may help to reduce the temperature and extinguish flames.
Unsuitable: High pressure water jet.

5.2 Special hazards arising from the mixture
Thermal decomposition or burning may release toxic oxides of nitrogen and other toxic gases.

5.3 Advice for fire fighters
Use full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.

Further information: The degree of risk is governed by the burning substance and the fire conditions. The possibility of dust explosions is a hazard common to the handling of most materials which create dust. Generally coarser powders above 75 microns are difficult to ignite, the greater hazard is with fine particles and care must be taken to ensure that the creation of a dust cloud is avoided. Contaminated extinguishing media must be disposed of in accordance with official regulation.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

6.1 Personal Precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Use personal protective clothing.

6.2 Environmental Precautions
Prevent contamination of soil, drains and surface waters. Do not discharge contaminated water / fire-fighting water into drains / surface water / groundwater.

6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Damp with water to prevent dust cloud. Collect spillage by sweeping or industrial vacuum cleaner. Keep in suitable closed container for disposal

6.4 Reference to other sections
For personal protection see section 8 and Disposal section 13

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

7.1 Precautions for safe handling

Advice on safe handling Avoid the formation and deposition of dust. Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas. For PPE see section 8 Contaminated clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace (P272). Wash contaminated clothing before reuse (P363)
Advice on protection against fire and explosion Normal measures for preventive fire protection.
Take precautionary measures against static discharge.


7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

  • Keep containers tightly closed. The powder should be stored under cover, in a well-ventilated, cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight or heat.
  • Protect from temperatures below: Not Applicable.
  • Protect from temperatures above: 35°C
  • Suitable storage materials: Original containers.
  • Higher temperatures and humidity will reduce the shelf life of the product and may cause the powder to form lumps. The powder will also be difficult to mix into a paste. Under normal conditions (21ºC) a shelf life of 12 months or more is possible.


7.3 Specific End use(s)
