4. First-Aid Measures

First-aid measures
Inhalation : If inhaled, remove to fresh air, if not breathing, give artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion : DO NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person, if large quantities of
this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately, loosen tight
clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Skin Contact : In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse, thoroughly
clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention.

Unusual fire/explosion hazards : There is possibility of dust explosion, if generated into dust.
Hazardous thermal (de)composition : Carbon oxides (CO, CO2)

Products
Special fire-fighting procedures : Fire fighters wear positive pressure self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) and full turn out gear.
Protection of fire-fighter : Be sure to use and approved/certified respirator or equivalent

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions : Splash goggles. Full suit. Boots. Gloves. Suggested protective clothing
might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product.
Environmental precautions: Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container.
and clean-up methods Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to
evacuate through the sanitary system. Be careful that the product is not
present at a concentration level above TLV. Check TLV on the MSDS and
with local authorities.

7. Handling and Storage

Handling : Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty
containers dose a fire risk, evaporate the residue under a fume hood. Ground
all equipment containing material. Do not breathe dust.
Storage : Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
Packaging Material
Recommended use : Use original container.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Engineering measured : Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering
control to keep airborne levels below recommended exposures limits. If user
operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to
airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
Hygiene measures : Wash hands after handling compounds and before eating, using lavatory, and
at the end of day.
