The Process or processes should be designed to limit the amount of handling. Whenever possible, handling should be carried out under controlled conditions (i.e., use dust exhaust system). Regular good housekeeping will minimise secondary dust dispersal.

Store in original packaging in dry area whilst awaiting use. Always use sealed and visibly labelled containers. Avoid damaging containers.

Regular good housekeeping will minimise secondary dust dispersal.

Local exhaust ventilation, which collects dust at source, can be used. For example down draft tables, emission controlling tools and material handling equipment.

Wear gloves, which are loose fitting at the wrists.

As necessary wear goggles or safety glass with side shields.

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.

Wear gloves and 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).

Refer to local, national or European applicable environmental permitted standards for release to air, water and soil. For waste, refer to section 13.

Upon heating above 900°C for sustained periods, this amorphous material begins to transform to mixtures of crystalline phases.

At some authorised disposal sites, dusty waste may be treated differently in order to ensure they are dealt with promptly to avoid them being wind blown.

Waste from these products may generally be disposed of at landfill, which has been licensed for this purpose.
