4.1 Description of first aid measures:
General advice:
If potential for exposure exists refer to Section 8 for specific personal protective equipment.
Inhalation:
Move person to fresh air; if effects occur, consult a physician.
Skin Contact:
Wash skin with plenty of water.
Eye Contact:
Flush eyes with plenty of water, also under the eyelids; remove contact lenses after the first 1-2 minutes then continue flushing for 15 minutes. Keep eye wide open while rinsing. Do not rub affected area. If effects occur, consult a physician, preferably an ophthalmologist.
Ingestion:
Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. If a large quantity has been ingested or you feel unwell, get medical advice/attention.
4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:
Eye contact: Causes severe irritation with flood of tears and pain and strong redness and swelling of the eye. Risk of permanent eye damage.
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:
No specific antidote. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.
5.1 Extinguishing Media:
Water. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers.
5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
Hazardous Combustion Products:
During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition to combustion products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. Combustion products may include and are not limited to: Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Do not permit dust to accumulate. When suspended in air dust can pose an explosion hazard. Minimize ignition sources. If dust layers are exposed to elevated temperatures, spontaneous combustion may occur. Pneumatic conveying and other mechanical handling operations can generate combustible dust. To reduce the potential for dust explosions, electrically bond and ground equipment and do not permit dust to accumulate. Dust can be ignited by static discharge.
5.3 Advice for firefighters:
Fire Fighting Procedures:
Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Soak thoroughly with water to cool and prevent re-ignition. Cool surroundings with water to localize fire zone. Hand held dry chemical or carbon dioxide extinguishers may be used for small fires. Dust explosion hazard may result from forceful application of fire extinguishing agents.
Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters:
Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers, boots, and gloves). If protective equipment is not available or not used, fight fire from a protected location or safe distance.
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
6.2 Environmental precautions:
6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:
8.1 Control parameters:
Exposure Limits:
None established.
8.2 Exposure controls:
8.2.1 Personal Protection:
Eye/Face Protection:
Use safety glasses (with side shields). Safety glasses (with side shields) should be consistent with EN 166 or equivalent. If there is a potential for exposure to particles which could cause eye discomfort, wear chemical goggles. Chemical goggles should be consistent with EN 166 or equivalent.
Skin Protection:
No precautions other than clean body-covering clothing should be needed. Hand protection: Chemical protective gloves should not be needed when handling this material. Consistent with general hygienic practice for any material, skin contact should be minimized.
Respiratory Protection:
Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as respiratory irritation or discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk assessment process. In dusty or misty atmospheres, use an approved particulate respirator. Use the following CE approved air-purifying respirator: Particulate filter, type P2.
Ingestion:
Use good personal hygiene. Do not consume or store food in the work area. Wash hands before smoking or eating.
8.2.2. Engineering Controls:
Ventilation:
Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.
