First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move to a dust free area, drink water and blow nose. If symptoms persist, seek medical advice.
Symptoms: Irritation of nose and throat
Rinse affected areas with water and wash gently. Do not rub or scratch exposed skin.
Symptoms: Skin irritation
Flush abundantly with water; have eye bath available. Do not rub eyes.
Immediate Medical Attention
If symptoms persist, seek medical advice.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use extinguishing agent suitable for surrounding combustible materials.
Non combustible products. Packaging and surrounding materials may be combustible.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Pick up large pieces and use a vacuum cleaner fitted with high efficiency filter (HEPA). If brushing is used, ensure that the area is wetted down first. Do not use compressed air for clean-up.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Limit the amount of handling. Regular good housekeeping will minimise secondary dust dispersal. Reduce dust emission during unpacking.
Store in original packaging in dry area whilst awaiting use. Always use sealed and visibly labelled containers. Avoid damaging containers.
Regular good housekeeping.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
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
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 work clothes, which are loose fitting at the neck and wrists. Soiled clothes 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 section13
