First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Provide fresh air. Keep at rest. In case of doubt or persistent symptoms, consult always a physician.
Symptoms: May cause respiratory irritation.
No adverse effects are expected. Remove mechanically (e.g. dab away using wadding or cellulose material) then thoroughly wash the affected skin with a mild cleansing agent and water. Call a physician if irritation develops or persists.
Symptoms: May be irritating.
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Call a physician if irritation develops or persists.
Symptoms: Mechanical irritation of the eyes is possible.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person or a person with cramps. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately.
Symptoms: No adverse effects are expected. May cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
Immediate Medical Attention
Call a physician if irritation develops or persists. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Provide adequate ventilation. Use personal protective equipment as required. Concerning personal protective equipment to use, see section 8. Avoid dust formation. Do not breathe dust. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Ensure proper process control to avoid excess waste discharge (temperature, concentration, pH, time).
Store in a dry place. Store in a closed container. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking.
Keep good industrial hygiene. Wash hands and face before breaks and immediately after handling of the product. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs. Take off contaminated clothing.
Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. Keep away from naked flames/heat.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Provide adequate ventilation. Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation. Avoid dust formation. !CIRCULAR REFERENCE!. Organisational measures to prevent /limit releases, dispersion and exposure. See also section 7.
Not required for normal conditions of use. Impervious gloves . The selection of specific gloves for a specific application and time of use in a working area, should also take into account other factors on the working space, such as (but not limited to): other chemicals that are possibly used, physical requirements (protection against cutting/drilling, skill, thermal protection), and the instructions/specification of the supplier of gloves.
Safety glasses with side-shields . tightly fitting safety goggles (EN 166)
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Effective dust mask (EN 149). full face mask (DIN EN 136) (EN 136). Half-face mask (DIN EN 140) (EN 140). Filter type: P (EN 143)
Wear suitable protective clothing
