Page 1 of 5 Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures Suitable Extinguishing Media Use dry chemical powder. Unsuitable extinguishing media: Do not use water jet. Special Hazards Arising From the Substance/Mixture Fine dust clouds may f orm explosive mixtures with air. Hazardous thermal decomposition products: Decomposition products may include the f ollowing materials: carbon dioxide carbon monoxide Special PPE and/or Precautions for Firefighters Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there is a f ire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Move containers from f ire area if this can be done without risk. Use water spray to keep f ire-exposed containers cool. Special protective equipment f or f ire-f ighters: Fire-f ighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a f ull f ace-piece operated in positive pressure mode. Section 6: Accidental Release Measures Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures For non-emergency personnel: No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Shut of f all ignition sources. No f lares, smoking or f lames in hazard area. Avoid breathing dust. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment. For emergency responders: If specialised clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of any inf ormation in Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials. See also the inf ormation in "For non-emergency personnel". Environmental precautions: Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runof f and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Inf orm the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). Methods and Materials Used for Containment Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runof f and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Inf orm the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). Cleanup Procedures Small spill: Move containers from spill area. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a designated, labeled waste container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Large spill: Move containers from spill area. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Approach release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or conf ined areas. Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a designated, labeled waste container. Avoid creating dusty conditions and prevent wind dispersal. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Note: see Section 1 f or emergency contact inf ormation and Section 13 f or waste disposal Section 7: Handling and Storage Precautions for Safe Handling Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid the creation of dust when handling and avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or f lame). Prevent dust accumulation. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Electrical equipment and lighting should be protected to appropriate standards to prevent dust coming into contact with hot surf aces, sparks or other ignition sources. Take precautionary measures against electrostatic discharges. To avoid f ire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transf er by grounding and bonding containers and equipment bef ore transf erring material. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container. Advice on general occupational hygiene: Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and f ace bef ore eating, drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment bef ore entering eating areas. See also Section 8 f or additional inf ormation on hygiene measures. Conditions for Safe Storage Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approved area. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10) and f ood and drink. Eliminate all ignition sources. Separate from oxidizing materials. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready f or use. Containers that have been opened must be caref ully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination. Page 2 of 5 Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Components with Workplace Control Parameters None. Appropriate Engineering Controls Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust, f umes, gas, vapor or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits. The engineering controls also need to keep gas, vapor or dust concentrations below any lower explosive limits. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some cases, f ume scrubbers, f ilters or engineering modif ications to the process equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels. Hygiene measures: Wash hands, f orearms and f ace thoroughly af ter handling chemical products, bef ore eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated clothing bef ore reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and saf ety showers are close to the workstation location. PPE - Eye/Face Protection Saf ety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts. If contact is possible, the f ollowing protection should be worn, unless the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: saf ety glasses with side-shields. If operating conditions cause high dust concentrations to be produced, use dust goggles. PPE - Skin Protection Hand protection: Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Considering the parameters specif ied by the glove manuf acturer, check during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It should be noted that the time to breakthrough f or any glove material may be dif f erent f or dif f erent glove manuf acturers. In the case of mixtures, consisting of several substances, the protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately estimated. PPE - Body Protection Body protection: Personal protective equipment f or the body should be selected based on the task being perf ormed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist bef ore handling this product. Other skin protection: Appropriate f ootwear and any additional skin protection measures should be selected based on the task being perf ormed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist bef ore handling this product. PPE - Respiratory Protection Use a properly f itted, particulate f ilter respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the saf e working limits of the selected respirator.
