OBB Sand Q1 – E, E 13, EM, E-fett, S, SM, S-fett, K, K-fett, DM

From quartz sand: Fresh air, consult doctor in case of complaints. If breathing is difficult, inhale oxygen. While casting: In case of symptoms (see section 4.2) due to the inhalation of fumes and exposure hazards during casting: Under self-protection (respiratory protection) bring the affected person to a quiet and well-ventilated place, if this is safe. Get medical attention immediately (show this safety data sheet). If breathing is unconscious: Ensure that breathing is not interfered with and artificial respiration and, if necessary, cardiac massage are carried out and immediately consult a doctor. In case of unconsciousness without respiratory rest: Stable lateral position. Consult a physician immediately.

Symptoms: Quartz dust can cause health problems such as coughing, respiratory problems and ejection. Smoke gases (e.g., carbon monoxide, dioxide) can lead to oxygen depletion in the organism and ultimately to internal suffocation. Symptoms of chronic/ low exposure: Fatigue, headache, dizziness, sleep disorders, irritability, and the like. Symptoms at high exposure: headache, dizziness, vomiting, drowsiness, earache, palpitations, muscle failure, fainting to heart failure and respiratory paralysis. Smoke or filter dust can irritate the airways and lead to lung load.

Wash immediately with plenty of soap and water. If irritation, swelling or redness occur, consult a physician. While casting: Cool the burns, keep the burned area under flowing cold water for at least five minutes. Subcooling the body must be prevented. Always consult a doctor if severe burns occur.

Rinse opened eye for 10-15 minutes under running water and consult an eye specialist.

Rinse out mouth and then drink plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting. In case of persistent symptoms consult doctor. In case of vomiting, keep your head low so that the vomit does not penetrate the lungs (aspiration). Then place the person in stable position with elevated legs. Always assume that an aspiration has taken place and even without symptoms to a doctor or to the hospital.

Symptoms: Nausea and vomiting.

Technical measures and the application of suitable working procedures shall take precedence over the use of personal protective equipment. Ensure good ventilation. This can be achieved by local exhaust or general exhaust air. See also section 7.

Chemical protective gloves (DIN EN 374). Suitable protective gloves: Glove material: Nitrile rubber / Nitrillatex - NBR. Layer thickness (mm): 0.4 mm. Penetration time (min.):> 480 minutes (permeation level: 6). The data are based on the experience of the manufacturer and information on glove manufacturers. The glove quality depends not only on the material but also on the manufacturer. Recommendation: Ask your manufacturer. When working with hot material: Use heat-resistant gloves with long cuffs or gauntlets. Unsuitable protective gloves: Gloves made of fabric or leather.

Tightly sealed safety glasses (EN 166)

Quartz dusts in dry product after casting: Particle filter FFP2/P3 (TRGS 559, chapter 3). When handling hot product (including oil), use approved respiratory protection in closed rooms: closed face mask with filter insert/ filter "A" or ambient-independent respiratory protection. If the exposure level cannot be determined or can be estimated with sufficient certainty, or an oxygen deficiency is possible, only respiratory protection devices which are independent of the surrounding air should be used. Rules for the use of respiratory protection devices as well as wearing time limitation according to DGUV Rule 112-190.

Anti-corrosive agents are selected depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. protective clothing, see BGR 189.

See Chapter 6, 7 and 15. Do not release to sewer/ surface water/ ground water.
