	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 water spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide.


	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Cough.	Avoid inhalation of dust.	Fresh air, rest.
Skin			Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes	Redness.	Wear safety goggles.	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. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.	According to UN GHS Criteria WARNING May be harmful if swallowed Harmful to aquatic life Transportation UN Classification
STORAGE
Separated from strong oxidants, strong bases and halogens.
