6 Refer to section Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment neededAdvice to Doctor and Hospital Personnel:Treat symptomatically and supportivelyUse media such as water fog, water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry Chemical or carbon dioxide. Unsuitable methods of extinction:None knownAdvice on protection against fire and explosionThis material in sufficient quantity and reduced particle size is capable of creating a dust explosion. Risk of explosion if heated under Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilitiesSECTION 7 - HANDLING AND Reference to other sectionsFor indications about waste treatment, see section Precautions for safe handlingHandle in a manner that minimizes dust generation.

7 Do not get in eyes or on skin and clothing. Avoid inhalation of dust. Keep away from sourcesof ignition, No smoking. Wear all appropriate protective equipment specified in section 8. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. If normal use ofSECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURESWear appropriate protective clothing designated in section 8. Ventilate the area. Remove all sources of ignition. No smoking. Evacuate Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency proceduresessential personnel from the hazard presents a respiratory hazard, use only adequate ventilation or wear an appropriate, approved dust mask or NOT STACK MORE THAN 2 SUPERSACKS 2 of Advice for firefightersResponders should stay upwind. Full protective equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus should be used (HAZMAT suits).

8 Water may be used to cool closed containers to prevent pressure build-up and possible autoignition or explosion when exposed to extreme heat. If Special hazards arising from the substance or mixtureClosed containers may explode due to the buildup of pressure when exposed to extreme heat. During emergency conditions overexposure todecomposition products may cause a health hazard. Symptoms may not be immediately apparent or may be delayed. Obtain medical , firefighters should control runoff water to prevent environmental material in sufficient quantity and reduced particle size is capable of creating a dust hazards:Approach spill from upwind direction. Avoid dust generation and prevent wind dispersal. Cover drains and contain spill.

9 Do not flush Methods and materials for containment and cleaning upmaterial to the sewer. Collect product and place in an approved container for proper disposal. Observe possible material restrictions (Sections ). Do not allow material or runoff from rinsing contaminated areas to enter storm drains and ditches which lead to waterways. Dispose ofwaste in accordance with national and local regulations. Clean contaminated areas with soap and in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see section ), food and drink. Transfer only to approvedcontainers having correct labeling. Keep containers tightly closed. Protect container against physical damage. Containers that have been openedmust be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent spillage.

10 Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty as they retain productresidues. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination. Ventilate closed areas. Do not take internally. Keep out of reach from the uses mentioned in section , no other specific uses are Specific end usesIndividual protection measures:Wear protective clothing to prevent repeated or prolonged contact with product. Protective clothing needs to be selected specifically for the workplace, depending on concentrations and quantities of hazardous substances handled. The Chemical resistanceof the protective equipment should be enquired at the representative Exposure controlsEngineering Measures:Technical measures and appropriate working operations should be given priority over the use of personal protective equipment.
