Use fire-extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding materials. ne known. ne known. Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. 6. Accidental Release Measures Personal precautions Environmental precautions Methods for containment Methods for cleaning up Other information Avoid generation and spreading of dust. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes. Wear suitable protective clothing. Use personal protection recommended in Section 8 of the MSDS. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not contaminate water. Avoid dispersal of dust in the air (i.e., clearing dust surfaces with compressed air). Collect dust using a vacuum cleaner equipped with HEPA filter. If not possible, gently moisten dust with water fog before it is collected with shovel, broom or the like. Avoid dust formation. After removal flush contaminated area thoroughly with water. Never return spills to original containers for re-use. Clean up in accordance with all applicable regulations. 7. Handling and Storage Handling Storage Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes. Use only with adequate ventilation. Use work methods which minimize dust production. Keep the workplace clean. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Keep container tightly closed. Store away from incompatible materials. 2 / 10
