2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed General information 5. Fire-fighting measures Suitable extinguishing media Unsuitable extinguishing media Specific hazards arising from the chemical Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters Fire fighting equipment/instructions Specific methods General fire hazards Treat symptomatically. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Use extinguishing agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Environmental precautions 7. Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted. Keep unnecessary personnel away. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. Avoid dust formation. Sweep up or gather material and place in appropriate container for disposal. This product is miscible in water. Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. After removal flush contaminated area thoroughly with water. Following product recovery, flush area with water. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS. Small Dry Spills: With clean shovel place material into clean, dry container and cover loosely; move containers from spill area. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Avoid dust formation. 8. Exposure controls/personal protection Occupational exposure limits Biological limit values Appropriate engineering controls Keep the container tightly closed and dry. Store in original tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). This substance has no PEL, TLV, or other recommended exposure limit. No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s). General ventilation normally adequate. Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). Skin protection Hand protection Other Respiratory protection Thermal hazards General hygiene considerations 9. Physical and chemical properties Appearance Physical state Form Color Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Wear suitable protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Respirator must be worn if exposed to dust. Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants. Solid. Crystalline. Solid. White. Revision date: February Issue date: February / 6
