	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air.	NO open flames. Closed system, dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent deposition of dust.	Use water spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide.

PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Cough. Sore throat.	Use local exhaust.	Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	Redness.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Wear protective gloves when administering first aid. Remove contaminated clothes. See Notes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention .
Eyes	Redness. Pain.	Wear safety goggles or face shield.	Rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible). Refer for medical attention.
Ingestion	Cough.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.	Rinse mouth. Refer for medical attention .

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Sweep spilled substance into sealable containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.	According to UN GHS Criteria WARNING Harmful if swallowed May cause an allergic skin reaction May cause damage to nervous system through prolonged or repeated exposure Transportation UN Classification
STORAGE
Separated from oxidants and acids. Keep in a well-ventilated room.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is mildly irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract.	Inhalation risk Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. The substance may have effects on the nervous system. This may result in impaired functions.
