Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Water spray. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Dry chemical. Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.

Unsuitable media

None known.

Specific hazards

Fine dust dispersed in air may ignite. Risk of ignition followed by flame propagation or secondary explosions should be prevented by avoiding accumulation of dust, e.g. on floors and ledges. As with most organic solids, combustion is possible at elevated temperatures or by contact with an ignition source.

Instructions

Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.

Firefighter Protection

As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Environmental

No special environmental precautions required.

Cleanup methods

Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal.

Related Substances

Similar chemicals with comparable safety profiles

07

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Avoid dust formation in confined areas. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Storage

Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.

Fire prevention

Fine dust dispersed in air may ignite. Refer to NFPA 61, "Standard for the Prevention of Fires and Dust Explosions in Agricultural and Food Processing Facilities".

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Apply technical measures to comply with the occupational exposure limits. However it is the duty of the user to verify this and follow given exposure limits at the workplace.

Hands

Protective clothing and gloves may be worn to reduce the potential of mechanical irritation.

Eyes

If exposed to airborne dust, appropriate safety glasses with side-shields or safety goggles are recommended. If airborne dust concentrations are excessive, wear goggles.

Respiratory

If exposed to airborne dust, use appropriate NIOSH approved (or equivalent) respiratory protection.

Skin/Body

Special protective equipment is generally not required. Protective clothing and gloves may be worn to reduce the potential of mechanical irritation.
