First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
After inhalation of greater quantities of dust, take affected person to fresh air.
Symptoms: cough or other symptoms
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes. Check and remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Eyelids should be held away from the eyeball to ensure thorough rinsing.
Symptoms: symptoms persist
Rinse out mouth and then drink plenty of water. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration.
Immediate Medical Attention
If swallowed, contact physician or poison control center immediately.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use fire extinguishing methods suitable to surrounding conditions. Dry chemical, water spray or regular foam.
High volume water jet
Hydrogen chloride gas, Lithium oxides, Ambient fire may liberate hazardous vapours.
Use standard firefighting procedures. If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire. Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area.
Firefighter Protection
Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Avoid formation of dust. Avoid inhalation of dusts. Ensure adequate ventilation. Wear protective clothing. Keep unprotected persons away.
Do not allow to enter sewers/ surface or ground water.
Take up dry. Clean up affected area.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Breathing must be protected when large quantities are decanted without local exhaust ventilation.
Keep container tightly sealed. Store in original container. Do not store in heat or direct sunlight. Keep upright to prevent any leakage.
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
Keep ignition sources away. Don't smoke.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Good ventilation is desirable
Protective gloves. The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/the substance/ the preparation. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation. The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
Tightly sealed goggles
respiratory protection during dust formation
Protective work clothing
