General fire hazards
Wash off with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
Do not rub eyes. Rinse with water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
Rinse mouth. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Dusts may irritate the respiratory tract, skin and eyes.
Treat symptomatically.
Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to
protect themselves.
Apply extinguishing media carefully to avoid creating airborne dust.
Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
Explosion hazard: Avoid generating dust; fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations and
in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard.
Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.
In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Move containers from fire area if you can do
so without risk.
Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.
May form combustible dust concentrations in air.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions,
protective equipment and
emergency procedures
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
Environmental precautions
Use only non-sparking tools. Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and
upwind of spill/leak. Dust deposits should not be allowed to accumulate on surfaces, as these may
form an explosive mixture if they are released into the atmosphere in sufficient concentration.
Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Use a NIOSH/MSHA
approved respirator if there is a risk of exposure to dust/fume at levels exceeding the exposure
limits. Ensure adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages
cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Take
precautionary measures against static discharge. Use only non-sparking tools. Avoid dispersal of
dust in the air (i.e., clearing dust surfaces with compressed air). Collect dust using a vacuum
cleaner equipped with HEPA filter.
Large Spills: Wet down with water and dike for later disposal. Shovel the material into waste
container. Following product recovery, flush area with water.
Small Spills: Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal.
Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.
7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Conditions for safe storage,
including any incompatibilities
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid significant deposits of material, especially on
horizontal surfaces, which may become airborne and form combustible dust clouds and may
contribute to secondary explosions. Routine housekeeping should be instituted to ensure that
dusts do not accumulate on surfaces. Dry powders can build static electricity charges when
subjected to the friction of transfer and mixing operations. Provide adequate precautions, such as
electrical grounding and bonding, or inert atmospheres. Keep away from heat/sparks/open
flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking. Explosion-proof general and local exhaust ventilation. Wear
appropriate personal protective equipment. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.
Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Store away from
incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS).

Thermal hazards
General hygiene
considerations
Explosion-proof general and local exhaust ventilation. Good general ventilation (typically 10 air
changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If
applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to
maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been
established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Wear suitable protective clothing.
If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure
limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not
been established), an approved respirator must be worn. Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator
if there is a risk of exposure to dust/fume at levels exceeding the exposure limits.
Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.
When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such
as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash
work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants.
