Note to physician: Treatment:Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific antidote.Section 5: Fire Fighting MeasuresSuitable ExtinguishingMediaSuitable extinguishing media: water spray, foam, dry powder. Unsuitable extinguishing media for safety reasons: waterjet.Special Hazards ArisingFrom theSubstance/MixtureHazards during fire-fighting: Burning produces harmful and toxic fumes.Special PPE and/orPrecautions for FirefightersProtective equipment for fire-fighting: Firefighters should be equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus andturn-out gear. The degree of risk is governed by the burning substance and the fire conditions. Contaminatedextinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with official regulations. Dusty conditions may ignite explosivelyin the presence of an ignition source causeing flash fire.Page 1 of 4
Section 6: Accidental Release MeasuresPersonal Precautions,Protective Equipment andEmergency ProceduresAvoid the formation and build-up of dust -danger of dust explosion. Dust in sufficient concentration can result in anexplosive mixture in air. Handle to minimize dusting and elimiate open flame and other sources of ignition. Avoid dustformation. Use personal protective clothing.Methods and MaterialsUsed for ContainmentContain contaminated water/firefighting water. Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater.Cleanup ProceduresFor small amounts: Pick up with suitable appliance and dispose of. For large amounts: Contain with dust bindingmaterial and dispose of. Avoid raising dust. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with regulations. Nonsparkingtools should be used.Section 7: Handling and StoragePrecautions for SafeHandlingHandle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Closed containers should only be opened inwell-ventilated areas. Protection against fire and explosion: Avoid dust formation. Take precautionary measuresagainst static discharges. The product is capable of dust explosion. Avoid all sources of ignition: heat, sparks, openflame. Dust in sufficient concentration can result in an explosive mixture in air. Handle to minimize dusting and eliminateopen flame and other sources of ignition. Routine housekeeping should be instituted to ensure that dusts do notaccumulate on surfaces. Dry powders can build static electricity charges when subjected to the friction of transfer andmixing operations. Provide adequate precautions, such as electrical grounding and bonding, or inert atmospheres.Refer to NFPA 654, Standard for the Prevention of Fire and Dust Explosions from Manufacturing, Processing, andHandling of Combustible Particulate Solids (2013 Edition) for safe handling. Dust explosion class: Dust explosion class1 (Kst-value >0 up to 200 bar m s-1).Conditions for Safe StorageFurther information on storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed and dry. Protect against heat.Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal ProtectionComponents withWorkplace ControlParametersNo data available.Appropriate EngineeringControlsProvide local exhaust ventilation to control dust. It is recommended that all dust control equipment such as localexhaust ventilation and material transport systems involved in handling this product contain explosion relief vents or anexplosion suppression system or an oxygen deficient environment. Ensure that dust-handling systems (such asexhaust ducts, dust collectors, vessels, and processing equipment) are designed in a manner to prevent the escape ofdust into the work area (i.e., there is no leakage from the equipment). Use only appropriately classified electricalequipment and powered industrial trucks. Wear protective clothing as necessary to minimize contact. Handle inaccordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Avoid inhalation of dusts. When using, do not eat, do notdrink or smoke.PPE - Eye/Face ProtectionSafety glasses with side-shields.PPE - Skin ProtectionWear chemical resistant protective gloves.PPE - Body ProtectionBody protection must be chosen on level of activity and exposure.PPE - RespiratoryProtectionWear a NIOSH-certified (or equivalent) organic vapour/particulate respirator.Section 9: Physical and Chemical PropertiesAppearanceWhite powder, coarse particle, waxy typeUpper/Lower Flammabilityor Explosive LimitsFor solids not relevant for classification and labelling.OdorFaint specific odourVapor PressurenegligibleOdor T hresholdnot applicableVapor DensityThe product is a non volatile solid.pH6 - 9 (50 g/l)Relative DensityNo data availableMelting Point/FreezingPoint53 - 57 �CSolubilitySolubility in water: > 175 g/l (23 �C) Solubility (qualitative): soluble. solvent(s): distilled water.Initial Boiling Point andBoiling RangeThe product is a non-volatile solid.Flash Point> 150 �CEvaporation RateThe product is a non-volatile solid.Flammability (Solid, Gas)Not highly flammablePartition Coefficientnot applicableAuto-Ignition T emperaturenot determined.DecompositionT emperature350�C, 0.64 kJ/g (DSC (DIN 51007)). 75�C, 10kJ/kg (DSC (DIN 51007)).Viscositynot applicable, the product is a solidPage 2 of 4
