Kaolin KDG PO

Movement of the exposed individual from the area to fresh air is recommended.

No special first aid measures necessary.

Rinse under water for at least one minute 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.

None. The material is not flammable and it does not lead to hazardous thermal decomposition products.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep dust levels to a minimum. Keep unprotected persons away. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and personal clothing. Avoid inhalation of dust. Take care of wet product on floor, which presents a slip hazard.

No special environmental measures are necessary.

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

Materials: water spraying or vacuum cleaning systems (with high-efficiency particulate air filter)

Keep dust levels to a minimum. Minimize dust generation. Handle packaged products carefully to prevent accidental bursting. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory protective equipment.

Keep containers closed and store packaged products so as to prevent accidental bursting. Minimise airborne dust generation and prevent wind dispersal during loading and unloading.

Good personal and housekeeping practices (i.e. regular cleaning with suitable cleaning devices), no drinking, eating and smoking in the work areas. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. Shower and change clothes at end of work shift. Do not wear contaminated clothing at home.

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.

For hands, appropriate protection (e.g. PVC, neoprene or natural rubber gloves) is recommended for workers who suffer from dermatitis or sensitive skin.

Wear safety glasses with side-shields, or tight-fitting full-vision goggles in circumstances where there is a risk of penetrative eye injuries. Do not wear contact lenses.

Local ventilation to control airborne dust levels below occupational exposure limits is recommended. In case of prolonged exposure to airborne dust concentrations wear a respiratory protective equipment that complies with the requirements of European and national legislation. The use of a suitable particle filter mask type FFP1, FFP2 or FFP3 is recommended. See EN 143: 2000 (Respiratory Protective devices – Particle filters) and EN149: 2001 (Respiratory protective devices - Filtering half masks to protect against particles).

For skin, normal work clothes are appropriate.

All ventilation systems should be filtered before discharge to atmosphere. Avoid wind dispersal. Contain the spillage.

Kaolin is chemically stable.

Inert, not reactive.

No hazardous reaction.

None.

None.

None.

Wastes should be handled in accordance with local and national regulations. Dispose of waste in such a way to avoid dust generation. Where possible, recycling should be preferred to disposal.

Avoid any release of dust during transportation, by using air-tight tanks for powders and covered trucks for pebbles.
