Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
🫁 Inhalation Exposure
move to a dust free area, drink water and blow nose.
Symptoms:
irritated (nose and throat)
🖐️ Skin Contact
rinse affected areas with water and wash gently.
Symptoms:
mild mechanical temporary skin irritation.
👁️ Eye Contact
In case of eye contact flush abundantly with water.
🚨 Immediate Medical Attention Required
If symptoms persist, seek medical advice.

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
Review your application(s) in order to identify potential sources of dust exposure. Local exhaust ventilation, which collects dust at source, can be used. For example down draft tables, emission controlling tools and material handling equipment.
🧤 Hand Protection
Wear gloves.
👁️ Eye Protection
As necessary wear goggles or safety glass with side shields.
😷 Respiratory Protection
For dust concentrations below the exposure limit value, RPE is not required but FFP2 respirators may be used on a voluntary basis. For short term operations where excursions are less than ten times the limit value use FFP2 respirators. In case of higher concentrations or where the concentration is not known, please seek advice from your company and/or your supplier.
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Wear work cloths, which are loose fitting at the neck and wrists. Soiled cloths should be cleaned to remove excess fibres before being taken off (e.g. use vacuum cleaner, not compressed air).
🌍 Environmental Exposure Controls
Refer to local, national or European applicable environmental permitted standards for release to air, water and soil.
