No special requirements

Inhalable dust

Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing dust. Use appropriate personal protective equipment.

Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers.

Vacuum or sweep up material and place in suitable container for recycling or disposal.

Prevent formation of dust.

Keep dry. Wet or damp material may be unsuitable for the purpose intended, creating unnecessary waste.

Process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls should be employed to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits.

Wear suitable gloves. Where necessary, gauntlets should be worn to protect against abrasive ricochet.

Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to dusts. If operating conditions cause high dust concentrations wear dust goggles.

Use properly fitted respiratory protection, complying with an approved standard, appropriate for the known or anticipated exposure levels and the hazards of the product. Blasters should wear an air-fed blasting helmet complying with approved standards, to afford the correct level of respiratory and eye/face protection.

Wear suitable protective clothing.

Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of the environmental protection legislation.

Under normal conditions of use and storage, the product is stable.

Not applicable. See section 9.

No dangerous reactions known

Avoid dust formation and contact with acids.

Strong acids

The substance does not decompose. Trace metals are firmly built in or bonded into the glass/crystal structures of the silicate and other mineral phases. Therefore the release of metals soluble species is very limited.
