Not to be used: water jet Fire will produce dense black smoke containing hazardous products of combustion (see Section 10). Exposure to decomposition products may be a hazard to health. Appropriate self-contained breathing apparatus may be required. Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray. Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions: Environmental precautions: Exclude sources of ignition and ventilate the area. Exclude non-essential personnel. Avoid breathing dust. Refer to protective measures listed in Sections 7 and 8. Contain and collect spillages with an electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by wet brushing and place in a closed container for disposal in accordance with the waste regulations (see Section 13). Do not use a dry brush as dust clouds or static can be created. Do not allow to enter drains or watercourses. If the product enters drains or sewers, immediately contact the local water company; in the case of contamination of streams, rivers or lakes, the relevant environment agency. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling requirements: Storage conditions: Precautions should be taken to prevent the formation of dusts in concentrations above flammable, explosive or occupational Exposure Limit Values. Electrical equipment and lighting should be protected to appropriate standards and to prevent dust coming into contact with hot surfaces, sparks or other ignition surfaces. Keep the container tightly closed. Exclude sources of heat, sparks and open flame. Avoid the inhalation of dusts. Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in areas of storage and use. For Occupational Exposure Controls see Section 8. Always keep in containers made of the same material as the supply container. The product may charge electrostatically. Use earthing leads when transferring from one container to another. Operators should wear anti-static footwear and clothing and floors should be electrically conductive. The Manual Handling Operations Regulations may apply to the handling of containers of this product. Refer to the guide weight indicated on the container when carrying out assessments.

Containers which are opened should be properly resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably practicable this should be achieved by the use of local exhaust ventilation and good general extraction. If these are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of solvent vapours and/or particulates below the relevant occupational Exposure Limit Values, suitable respiratory protective equipment should be worn (see `Occupational Exposure Controls below). Substance TWA (1) STEL (2) Notations (3) ppm (4) mg.m -3(4) ppm (4) mg.m -3(4) Plaster of Paris 10 Inhalable none Notes: 4 Respirable (1) Long Term Exposure Limit 8 hour Time Weighted Average (2) Short Term Exposure Limit 15 minute reference period (3) SK indicates a risk of absorption through the skin. `Sen indicates a respiratory sensitiser. CHAN indicates an interim limit,which should be treated as if it were an WEL. `Carc indicates a risk of cancer and/or heritable genetic damage. (4) `WEL indicates a Workplace Exposure Limit. Respiratory protection: Hand protection: Eye protection: Skin protection: If exposure to hazardous substances identified above cannot be controlled by the provision of local exhaust ventilation and good general extraction, suitable respiratory protective equipment should be worn. When skin exposure may occur, advice should be sought from glove suppliers on appropriate types and usage times for this product. Barrier creams may help to protect exposed areas of skin but are not substitutes for full physical protection. They should not be applied once exposure has occurred. Eye protection designed to protect against liquid splashes should be worn. Cotton or cotton/synthetic overalls or coveralls are normally suitable. Grossly contaminated clothing should be removed and the skin washed with soap and water or a proprietary skin cleaner. 9.
