Description of first aid measures

General advice Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.

If inhaled If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician.

In case of skin contact Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a physician.

In case of eye contact Flush eyes with water as a precaution.

If swallowed Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with water. Consult a physician.

Further information no data available

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Use personal protective equipment. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Ensure

adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid breathing dust.

Environmental precautions Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Pick up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Sweep up and shovel. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Reference to other sections For disposal see section 13.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols.

Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed.Normal measures for preventive fire

protection.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Control parameters

Components with workplace control parameters

Exposure controls

Appropriate engineering controls Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at

the end of workday.

Personal protective equipment

Eye/face protection Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166 Use equipment for eye protection tested and

approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

Skin protection Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique

(without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of

contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices.

Wash and dry hands.

Body Protection impervious clothing, The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the

concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.

Respiratory protection Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle

respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering

controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use

respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as

NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
