Risk of Dust Explosion: Not Applicable: Will not cause dust explosion.
Personal precautions: Avoid dust formation. Ensure adequate ventilation. Use personal protective equipment.
See also Section 8.
Environmental Precautions:
Environmental Precautions: Contain spilled product on land, if possible. Local authorities should be advised if
significant spillages cannot be contained.
Methods for cleaning up: Clean up promptly by vacuum. Use of a vacuum with high efficiency particulate air (HEPA)
filtration is recommended. Do not create a dust cloud by using a brush or compressed air.
Pick up and transfer to properly labelled containers. See Section 13.
Advice on safe handling: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid dust formation. Do not breathe dust. Provide
appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery and at places where dust can be generated.
Do not create a dust cloud by using a brush or compressed air.
Take precautionary measures against static discharges. All metal parts of the mixing and
processing equipment must be earthed/grounded. Ensure all equipment is electrically
earthed/grounded before beginning transfer operations. Fine dust is capable of
penetrating electrical equipment and may cause electrical shorts.
General hygiene considerations: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice
Storage Conditions: Keep containers tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Do not store together
with volatile chemicals as they may be adsorbed onto product. Store at ambient
conditions. Keep in properly labeled containers.
Exposure guidelines: The table below is a summary. Please see the specific legislation for complete
information.
