Slags, copper slags, iron silicate granules

Move the affected person away from the contaminated area and into the fresh air.

No special first aid measures necessary.

Rinse with copious quantities of water and seek medical attention if irritation persists.

No first aid measure required.

No specific extinguishing media is needed.

No restriction on the extinguishing media to be used.

Not combustible.

No special requirements.

Avoid dry sweeping and use water spraying or vacuum cleaning systems (with high-efficiency particulate air filter) to prevent airborne dust generation.

Avoid airborne dust generation. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where airborne dust is generated. Other suitable controls may include enclosure, isolation, water suppression, respiratory protective equipment. Handle packaged products carefully to prevent accidental bursting. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.

Minimise airborne dust generation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below specified exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fumes or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne particles below the exposure limit. Apply organisational measures, e.g. by isolating personnel from dusty areas. Remove and wash soiled clothing.

Do not eat, drink and smoke in work areas; wash hands after use; remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.

Wear protective gloves (Blasting agent, concrete). All other uses: None under normal use. Appropriate protection (e.g. gloves, barrier cream) is recommended for workers who suffer from dermatitis or sensitive skin. Wash hands at the end of each work session. Protective gloves, Application type: Concrete: Nitrile rubber (NBR), Permeation: 6 (>480 minutes), Thickness: 0.35, Standard: EN 374. Protective gloves against the mechanical risks, Application type: Blasting agent. Open systems: Leather, Standard: EN 388.

Wear safety glasses with side-shields in circumstances where there is a risk of penetrative eye injuries. In case of dust production: protective goggles. Type: Safety goggles, Use: Dust, Standard: EN 166.

Dust formation: dust mask.

Remove and wash soiled clothing. Appropriate protection (e.g. gloves, barrier cream) is recommended for workers who suffer from dermatitis or sensitive skin.

Avoid wind dispersal.

Chemically stable.

Inert, not reactive.

Avoid contact with acids. Contact with acids may release flammable hydrogen gas.

Not relevant.

Strong oxidizing agents. Strong acids.

Melting at high temperature may generate fumes of metal oxides.

Where possible recycling is preferred to disposal. Can be dumped in according to local regulations.

Dust formation from residues in packaging should be avoided and suitable worker protection assured.
