First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Provide fresh air. In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice.
Wash with plenty of soap and water. In case of skin irritation, consult a physician.
Symptoms: Mild irritant to skin
Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice.
Rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious). In case of accident or unwellness, seek medical advice immediately (show directions for use or safety data sheet if possible). Call a doctor.
Symptoms: Gastrointestinal complaints, Vomiting
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
co-ordinate firefighting measures to the fire surroundings! water, foam, dry extinguishing powder, ABC-powder
water jet
Combustible. Deposited combustible dust has considerable explosion potential. Vapours are heavier than air, spread along floors and form explosive mixtures with air.
Fight fire with normal precautions from a reasonable distance.
Firefighter Protection
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Use personal protective equipment as required. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothes. Do not breathe dust.
Keep away from drains, surface and ground water. Retain contaminated washing water and dispose of it.
Take up mechanically.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Provision of sufficient ventilation. Avoid exposure. Avoid dust formation.
Store in a dry place.
Wash hands before breaks and after work. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs. When using do not smoke.
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take precautionary measures against static discharge.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Wear suitable gloves. Chemical protection gloves are suitable, which are tested according to EN 374. For special purposes, it is recommended to check the resistance to chemicals of the protective gloves mentioned above together with the supplier of these gloves. The times are approximate values from measurements at 22 C and permanent contact. Increased temperatures due to heated substances, body heat etc. and a reduction of the effective layer thickness by stretching can lead to a considerable reduction of the breakthrough time. If in doubt, contact manufacturer. At an approx. 1.5 times larger / smaller layer thickness, the respective breakthrough time is doubled / halved. The data apply only to the pure substance. When transferred to substance mixtures, they may only be considered as a guide. type of material NBR (Nitrile rubber) material thickness 0,4 mm breakthrough times of the glove material >480 minutes (permeation: level 6)
Use safety goggle with side protection.
Respiratory protection necessary at: Dust formation. Particulate filter device (EN 143). P2 (filters at least 94 % of airborne particles, colour code: White).
Keep away from drains, surface and ground water.
