equipment/instructions
Specific methods
General fire hazards
Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed.
Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.
Use water spray to cool unopened containers.
Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.
No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions,
protective equipment and
emergency procedures
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
Keep unnecessary personnel away. 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. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. 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. Avoid the generation of dusts during clean-up. Following product recovery, flush area
with water.
Small Spills: Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal. For
waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Environmental precautions
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. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places
where dust is formed. Avoid prolonged exposure. Practice good housekeeping.
Store in original tightly closed container. Store in a well-ventilated place. Store away from
incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS).

Biological limit values
Appropriate engineering
controls
No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).
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. If
engineering measures are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of dust particulates below the
Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL), suitable respiratory protection must be worn. If material is
ground, cut, or used in any operation which may generate dusts, use appropriate local exhaust
ventilation to keep exposures below the recommended exposure limits.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Skin protection
Hand protection
Other
Respiratory protection
Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Wear suitable protective clothing.
Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator if there is a risk of exposure to dust/fume at levels
exceeding the exposure limits.
Thermal hazards
General hygiene
considerations
Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.
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.
