	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Combustible. 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 foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide.

PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation		Use local exhaust.	Fresh air, rest.
Skin		Protective gloves.	Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes		Wear safety spectacles.	Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible).
Ingestion		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth.

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.	According to UN GHS Criteria Insufficient data for GHS classification Transportation UN Classification
STORAGE
Separated from strong oxidants and strong bases.
