EC Number: 204-287-5

	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. Prevent deposition of dust. Closed system, dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting.	Use powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide.


	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation		Use local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest.
Skin		Protective gloves.	Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes	Redness. Pain.	Wear safety spectacles.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Ingestion		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment.	According to UN GHS Criteria WARNING Harmful if swallowed Causes eye irritation Harmful to aquatic life Transportation UN Classification
STORAGE
Separated from oxidants.

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL INFORMATION
Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS-TO-YELLOW FLAKES OR WHITE-TO-YELLOW CRYSTALLINE POWDER. Physical dangers Dust explosion possible if in powder or granular form, mixed with air. Chemical dangers On combustion, forms nitrogen oxides. The solution in water is a weak acid. Reacts with oxidants. This generates fire hazard.
