3. Hazard identification
May cause sensitization by inhalation.
Harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.

4. First-aid measures
General advice:
Remove contaminated clothing.

If inhaled:
If difficulties occur after dust has been inhaled, remove to fresh air and seek medical attention.

On skin contact:
Wash thoroughly with soap and water.

On contact with eyes:

Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open,
consult an eye specialist.

On ingestion:
Rinse mouth immediately and then drink plenty of water, seek medical attention.

5. Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media:
water, foam

Special protective equipment:

Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus.

Further information:
Collect separately contaminated extinguishing water, do not allow to reach sewage or effluent
systems.

6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions:
Avoid dust formation. Use breathing apparatus if exposed to vapours/dust/aerosol.

Environmental precautions:
Do not empty into drains.

Methods for cleaning up or taking up:

For small amounts: Pick up with suitable appliance and dispose of.
For large amounts: Pick up with suitable appliance and dispose of.
Avoid raising dust.

7. Handling and storage

Handling
Protection against fire and explosion:
Avoid dust formation. Prevent electrostatic charge - sources of ignition should be kept well clear - fire
extinguishers should be kept handy. The product is capable of dust explosion.

Storage
Further information on storage conditions: Containers should be stored tightly sealed in a dry place.
Protect against heat.

8. Exposure controls and personal protection

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection:
Particle filter EN 143 Type P3, high efficiency, (solid and liquid particles of toxic and very toxic
substances).

Hand protection:
Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6,
corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374):
e.g. nitrile rubber (0.4 mm), chloroprene rubber (0.5 mm), polyvinylchloride (0.7 mm) and other
Supplementary note: The specifications are based on own tests, literature data and information of
glove manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions
(e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in
practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined in accordance to EN 374.

Eye protection:
Safety glasses with side-shields (frame goggles) (EN 166)

General safety and hygiene measures:

Do not breathe dust. Avoid contact with skin. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and
safety practice.
