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 Dusts may irritate the respiratory tract, skin and eyes. Treat symptomatically. First aid personnel must be aware of own risk during rescue. Bulk material is non-combustible. Dust: Extinguish with foam, carbon dioxide, dry powder or water fog. ne. Thermal decomposition may produce smoke, oxides of carbon and lower molecular weight organic compounds whose composition have not been characterized. Explosive dust mixtures can be formed at concentrations as low as 25 g/m3 when carbon/graphite dusts are milled to less than 50 microns. Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Environmental precautions Avoid generation and spreading of dust. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes. Remove sources of ignition. Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves. Collect dust using a vacuum cleaner equipped with HEPA filter. If not possible, gently moisten dust before it is collected with shovel, broom or the like. Collect in approved containers and seal securely. Containers must be labeled. Do not allow material to enter storm or sanitary sewers, groundwater or soil. 7. Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Use work methods which minimize dust production. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Take precautionary measures against static discharges when there is a risk of dust explosion. Keep away from heat, spark, open flames and other sources of ignition. Use explosion-proof electrical equipment if airborne dust levels are high. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Keep away from heat, spark, open flames and other sources of ignition. Keep container closed. Store away from: Oxidizing agents. Store away from incompatible materials. 8.

Provide explosion-proof ventilation for high dust concentrations. Observe occupational exposure limits and minimize the risk of inhalation of dust and fumes. Provide access to washing facilities including soap, skin cleanser and fatty cream. 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 Odor Physical state Form Color Odor threshold ph Melting point/freezing point Initial boiling point and boiling range Flash point Evaporation rate Flammability (solid, gas) Wear suitable protective gloves to prevent cuts and abrasions. Suitable gloves can be recommended by the glove supplier. Wear appropriate clothing to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact. Use specified dust masks. Seek advice from local supervisor. If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not been established), an approved air supplied air respirator must be worn. In the United States of America, if respirators are used, a program should be instituted to assure compliance with OSHA 29 CFR Respirator type: Use a NIOSH approved respirator if there is a potential for exposure to dust exceeding exposure limits (See 29 CRF , respiratory protection standard). Seek advice from supervisor on the company's respiratory protection standards. 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.
