Administrative data

First-aid measures

Eye contact: Flush with copious quantities of water or saline, including under eyelids

Skin contact: Wash affected area with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Seek medical attention if reaction occurs/persists.

Inhalation: Remove promptly to fresh air. If not breathing, administer artificial respiration. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical advice if adverse reaction occurs and persists.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: Skin sensitiser.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed: For specialist advice, physicians should contact the Poisons Centre, Beaumount/ Mater Hospital, Eccles Street if in the eyes

Fire-fighting measures

- Suitable extinguishing media:

Water, Dry powder or foam extinguisher

- Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

Emits toxic fumes of Carbon, nitrogen and sulphur oxides

- Advice for fire fighter: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, suitable protective clothing and chemical resistant gloves

Accidental release measures

- Personal precautions:

A self contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suitable protective clothing and chemical resistant gloves required.

- Environmental precautions:

Avoid contamination of surface waters. Cover drains.

- Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Vacuum or sweep up dampened material and place into suitable dedicated UN approved drum. Use non sparking tools.

Handling and storage

- Precautions for safe handling:

Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation or other suitable engineering controls to  control airborne levels. Charge slowly into vessels to minimize dust clouds. Use slow controlled movements for  scooping from one container to another where applicable. Sweep up/ wet down material and place into suitable UN approved disposal container. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhaling dusts. Ensure emergency eyewash equipment is close by.

- Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Material should be stored in static dissipative bags in well ventilated areas at about 25˚C in closed containers in production areas or storage areas.

- General occupational hygiene: Do not eat, drink or smoke in work areas. Wash hands after use and remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Engineering control measures: Dusts of this product should not be breathed in. Engineering methods to prevent or control exposure below the permissible exposure limits should be used. Use process enclosure (e.g. glove-box units), local exhaust ventilation or other suitable engineering controls to control airborne levels.

Respiratory protection: Respiratory protection: Wear a suitable respirator designed for achieving a high level of filtration to dust such as powered respirators or full face masks with a P3 filter (EN 14387/EN143).

Hand protection: Hand protection: Impermeable gloves (e.g. nitrile gloves to EN 374-2). with an extended cuff covering part of the forearm) are required as well as donning/doffing training and specific activity training.

Eye protection: Eye protection: If respirator does not already provide eye protection, wear safety glasses or goggles conforming to EN-166.

Body protection: Body protection: Wear Tyvek or similar overalls (e.g. to EN13982, EN13034).  If contaminated, must be removed whilst wearing a respirator and disposed off in an appropriate manner.

Hygiene measures: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Keep away from food and drink. Wash hands (and face where exposed to product) before breaks and immediately if exposure occurs anywhere else on the body.

Environmental exposure: Follow onsite trained procedural controls to minimize advertent exposures. Do not allow material to contaminate the ground water system. Any unused material/ spilt material to be disposed in UN approved drums.

Stability and reactivity

1. Reactivity

: Stable under normal temperatures and pressures

2. Chemical stability

: Stable under normal temperatures and pressures

3. Possibility of hazardous reactions

: None known

4. Conditions to avoid

: Generation of dust clouds. Conditions such as static discharge or other physical stresses that might result in a hazardous situation. Careful charging of this material combined with earthing of vessels, tools, floors and workers are essential to avoid such conditions. Avoid sparking tools.

5. Incompatible materials

: None known.

Disposal considerations

National, local and EU regulations concerning waste disposal must be respected including the following:

S.I 419 of 2007: Waste Management (Shipment of Waste) Regulations 2007

S.I 113 of 2008: Waste Management (Registration of Brokers and Dealers) Regualtions 2008

S.I 324 of 2011 European Communities (Shipments of Hazardous Waste exclusively in Ireland) Regulations 2011.
