Remove affected person from source of contamination. Move affected person to fresh air at once. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.

No special first aid measures required.

Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.

No special first aid measures required.

No particular extinguishing media needed.

Not flammable No dangerous thermal decomposition reaction.

Avoid creating airborne dust.

Provide adequate ventilation with fresh air. As far as possible, prevent dust from becoming airborne When airborne dust is created, wear respiratory protection (FFP3 particle filtering efficiency). Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

No particular requirements.

Avoid dry sweeping. Use water spraying or vacuum cleaning systems to prevent airborne dust generation.

Prevent dust from becoming airborne, at least reduce the amount of migratory dust as much as possible. In case of inadequate ventilation, wear appropriate respiratory protection. To avoid any damage to the packaging, make sure it is handled with care. For further information on safe handling refer additionally to the Best Practices Guide “Agreement on Workers Health Protection through the Good Handling and Use of Crystalline Silica and Products containing it” (see Section 16).

Minimize dust formation. Avoid dust drifting during loading operations. Keep container(s) closed. Store packaged product(s) in such a way that the packaging does not become damaged.

Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product/in work areas. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas and after work.

Prevent dust from becoming airborne. Make sure that dust exposure falls within the limits by using closed processes, installing local exhaust systems or implementing other appropriate technical measures. If activities of persons lead to dust or mist formation, it must be ensured that the dust concentration in the air of working zones remains within the limit values.

People who suffer from dermatitis or have particularly sensitive skin should take appropriate protective measures (e.g., wear gloves or use protective cream). Wash hands thoroughly after handling.

Use dust-tight protective goggles in areas exposed to dust.

Use of particle filtering half masks or full-face, class 2 or class 3 filter (FFP2 – FFP3) recommended. See EN 143:2000 Respiratory protective devices - Particle filters.

No particular requirements. In case of long-term exposure to dust, wear protective clothing in compliance with applicable EU or national legislation.

The exhaust air from extraction units must be conducted through filters. Prevent dust from becoming airborne and dust drift caused by wind.
