Specific hazards during firefighting:
- Carbon monoxide
- Carbon Dioxide - Gas is heavier than air. Act as an asphyxiant at high concentrations.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:
In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Further information: none known.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions:
Remove all sources of ignition.
Avoid formation and deposition of dust.
Use personal protective equipment.
Environmental precautions:
Collect wash water for approved disposal.
Keep from entering water or ground water.
Methods for cleaning up:
Use mechanical handling equipment.
Avoid dust formation.
Fill into labelled, sealable containers.
Handling and storage
Handling:
Avoid dust formation.
Ensure adequate ventilation and, if necessary, exhaust ventilation when handling or transferring the product.
Ensure that the occupational exposure limit value/s (OEL) and/or other limit values are complied with.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion:
Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition.
Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
During processing, dust may form explosive mixture in air.
Hygiene measures: The usual precautions when handling chemicals should be taken. Store work clothes separately.
Dust explosion: not capable of dust explosion

No waste code according to the European Waste Catalogue can be assigned for this product, as the intended use dictates the assignment.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
