These effects are usually temporary. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES INHALATION If respiratory tract irritation develops, move the person to a dust free area, drink water and blow nose SKIN IRRITATION: If skin becomes irritated, rinse affected areas with water and wash gently. Do not rub or scratch exposed skin. EYES: In case of eye contact flush immediately with water. Eyelids should be held away from the eyeball to ensure thorough rinsing. Do not rub eyes. If the above symptoms persist, seek medical advice. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Non combustible products. Class of reaction to fire: 0. Packaging and surrounding materials may be combustible. Use extinguishing agent suitable for surrounding combustible materials.

3 PAGE NO : Page 3 of 6 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Avoid creating airborne dust. If abnormally high dust concentrations occur, use appropriate protective equipment. Use vacuum cleaner with a high efficiency filter or wet sweeping to clean the area. Do not use Compressed air or dry sweeping for clean up. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE HANDLING Wherever possible handling should be carried out under ventilation with filtered exhaust. Regular good housekeeping will minimize dust dispersal. STORAGE Store in original container in a dry area. Keep container closed when not in use. Emptied containers may contain residue, should be cleaned before disposal or recycling. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONTROL Use engineering control such as dust extraction at point of work to keep dust level to a minimum. In addition use a vacuum cleaner fitted with HEPA filters to collect debris. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENTS General recommendations Maintain high standards of personal Hygiene. Keep work areas regularly cleaned.

ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION These products are inert materials, which remain stable over time. No adverse effects of this material on the environment are anticipated. 12. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS To prevent waste materials from becoming airborne during waste storage, transportation and disposal, a covered container or plastic bagging is recommended. Waste from these materials (even after use above 900degC) is not classified as hazardous waste and may generally be disposed of at a normal tipping site which has been licensed for the disposal of industrial waste. Taking into account any possible contamination during use, which may be classified as hazardous, expert guidance should be sought. Such a waste is normally dusty (unless wetted) and so should be properly bagged and clearly labelled for disposal. At some tip sites dusty waste may be treated differently in order to ensure they are dealt with promptly and to avoid them being wind blown. Check for national and /or regional regulations to identify all applicable disposal requirements.

6 PAGE NO : Page 6 of TRANSPORT INFORMATION Not classified as dangerous goods under relevant international transport regulations Ensure that dust is not wind blown during transportation 14. OTHER INFORMATION RCF AFTER-SERVICE REMOVAL: During removal operations, a FULL FACE RESPIRATOR is recommended to reduce inhalation exposure along with eye and respiratory tract irritation. A specific evaluation of workplace hazards and the identification of appropriate respiratory protection is best performed, on a case-by-case basis, by a qualified industrial hygiene professional.
