First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

If breathing is irregular or stopped, immediately seek medical assistance and start first aid actions. Provide fresh air.

Skin contact

Brush off loose particles from skin. Rinse skin with water/shower.

Eye contact

Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 10 minutes, holding the eyelids apart.

Ingestion

Rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious). Do NOT induce vomiting.

Immediate Medical Attention

In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice. If breathing is irregular or stopped, immediately seek medical assistance.

Stability and Reactivity

Chemical stability, hazardous reactions, and incompatible materials

Stability

See below 'Conditions to avoid'.

Reactivity

Concerning incompatibility: see below "Conditions to avoid" and "Incompatible materials".

Hazardous reactions

No known hazardous reactions.

Avoid

There are no specific conditions known which have to be avoided. The product in the delivered form is not dust explosion capable; the enrichment of fine dust however leads to the danger of dust explosion.

Incompatible

Oxidisers

Decomposition

Reasonably anticipated hazardous decomposition products produced as a result of use, storage, spill and heating are not known. Hazardous combustion products: see section 5.
