No special first aid measures necessary.

Do not rub eye. Rinse with copious quantities of water and seek medical attention if irritation persists.

No special treatment required. Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.

This product is non-combustible. No specific extinguishing media is needed. Use fire-extinguishing media suitable for the surrounding fire.

No restriction on the extinguishing media to be used.

Non combustible. No hazardous thermal decomposition.

Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire.

Avoid airborne dust generation, wear personal protective equipment in compliance with national legislation.

Do not discharge into drains or watercourses or onto the ground.

Avoid dry sweeping and use water spraying or vacuum cleaning systems to prevent airborne dust generation. Alternatively shovel into bags.

Avoid airborne dust generation. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where airborne dust is generated. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory protective equipment. Handle packaged products carefully to prevent accidental bursting. Product on floor when wetted will become slippery and may present a hazard; wear anti-slip boots.

Store in a dry covered area. Keep containers closed and store packaged products so as to prevent accidental bursting.

Do not eat, drink and smoke in work areas; wash hands after use; remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. Keep dust levels to a minimum. General occupational hygiene measures are required. These include good personal and housekeeping practices (i.e. regular cleaning with suitable cleaning devices). Shower and change clothes at end of work shift. Change work clothing daily before leaving workplace.

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.

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. It is recommended that gloves are made of the following material: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Neoprene. Rubber (natural, latex).

Eyewear complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk assessment indicates eye contact is possible. The following protection should be worn: Chemical splash goggles or face shield. Contact lenses should not be worn when working with this product.

Local ventilation to control airborne dust levels below occupational exposure limits is recommended. In case of exposure, where engineering controls are insufficient, the use of Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) is recommended. A risk assessment process must be followed to ensure adequate protection from the airborne dust. The type of RPE must suit the work situation and the specific requirements of the wearer. Other environmental conditions should also be considered. The minimum “Assigned Protection Factor” (APF) required will depend on the measured or predicted occupational exposure levels divided by the OEL detailed in section 8.1. Filters specified as FFP2 and P2 have an APF of 10. Correctly fitted, these would reduce the exposure to the wearer down to one tenth of the working atmosphere. Depending on the assessment of the exposure, a lesser or higher efficiency of filter may be required. The manufacturer’s instructions and regulatory guidance regarding duration of use and correct fitting should be followed. The wearer of the selected RPE should receive training before use.

For skin, normal work clothes are appropriate.

All ventilation systems should be filtered before discharge to atmosphere. Avoid releasing into the environment. Contain the spillage.
