First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove the victim into fresh air. Respiratory problems: consult a doctor/medical service.
Symptoms: AFTER INHALATION OF DUST: Slight irritation. EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS: Coughing.
Rinse with water. Do not apply (chemical) neutralizing agents without medical advice. Soap may be used. Consult a doctor/medical service.
Symptoms: Slight irritation.
Rinse with water. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Do not apply (chemical) neutralizing agents without medical advice.
Symptoms: Slight irritation.
Immediately after ingestion: give lots of water to drink. Do not apply (chemical) neutralizing agents without medical advice. Call Poison Information Centre (www.big.be/antigif.html). Consult a doctor/medical service if you feel unwell.
Symptoms: AFTER INGESTION OF HIGH QUANTITIES: Vomiting. Abdominal pain. Diarrhoea. Dizziness. Change in the haemogramme/blood composition.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Adapt extinguishing media to the environment for surrounding fires.
DIRECT FIRE HAZARD: Non combustible.
Cool tanks/drums with water spray/remove them into safety. Do not move the load if exposed to heat.
Firefighter Protection
Heat/fire exposure: self-contained breathing apparatus (EN 136 + EN 137).
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Mark the danger area. Prevent dust cloud formation, e.g. by wetting. No naked flames. Wash contaminated clothes. In case of dust production: keep upwind. Dust production: have neighbourhood close doors and windows.
No additional information available
Stop dust cloud by humidifying with water. Scoop solid spill into closing containers. Wash down leftovers with plenty of water. Wash clothing and equipment after handling.
