5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:

SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: WATER SPRAY, DRY POWDER, FOAM

UNSUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA FOR SAFETY REASONS:
CARBON DIOXIDE, WATER JET

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
AVOID WHIRLING UP THE MATERIAL/PRODUCT BECAUSE OF THE DANGER OF DUST
EXPLOSION.

SPECIAL HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE SUBSTANCE OR MIXTURE:

HAZARDS DURING FIRE-FIGHTING: BURNING PRODUCES HARMFUL AND TOXIC FUMES.

ADVICE FOR FIRE-FIGHTERS:

PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE-FIGHTING:
FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND
TURN-OUT GEAR.

FURTHER INFORMATION:
DUSTY CONDITIONS MAY IGNITE EXPLOSIVELY IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION
SOURCE CAUSING FLASH FIRE.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

FURTHER ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES:
AVOID DISPERSAL OF DUST IN THE AIR (I.E., CLEARING DUST SURFACES WITH
COMPRESSED AIR). AVOID THE FORMATION AND BUILD-UP OF DUST - DANGER OF DUST
EXPLOSION. DUST IN SUFFICIENT CONCENTRATION CAN RESULT IN AN EXPLOSIVE
MIXTURE IN AIR. HANDLE TO MINIMIZE DUSTING AND ELIMINATE OPEN FLAME AND
OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS, PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES:
BREATHING PROTECTION REQUIRED. AVOID DUST FORMATION.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:
DO NOT DISCHARGE INTO DRAINS/SURFACE WATERS/GROUNDWATER.

METHODS AND MATERIAL FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEANING UP:
NONSPARKING TOOLS SHOULD BE USED.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING:

HANDLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE AND SAFETY PRACTICE.

BREATHING MUST BE PROTECTED WHEN LARGE QUANTITIES ARE DECANTED WITHOUT
LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION.

AVOID THE FORMATION AND DEPOSITION OF DUST.

PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE AND EXPLOSION:
AVOID DUST FORMATION. DUST IN SUFFICIENT CONCENTRATION CAN RESULT IN AN
EXPLOSIVE MIXTURE IN AIR. HANDLE TO MINIMIZE DUSTING AND ELIMINATE OPEN
FLAME AND OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION. ROUTINE HOUSEKEEPING SHOULD BE
INSTITUTED TO ENSURE THAT DUSTS DO NOT ACCUMULATE ON SURFACES. DRY POWDERS
CAN BUILD STATIC ELECTRICITY CHARGES WHEN SUBJECTED TO THE FRICTION OF
TRANSFER AND MIXING OPERATIONS. PROVIDE ADEQUATE PRECAUTIONS, SUCH AS
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING AND BONDING, OR INERT ATMOSPHERES. REFER TO NFPA 654,
STANDARD FOR THE PREVENTION OF FIRE AND DUST EXPLOSIONS FROM THE
MANUFACTURING, PROCESSING, AND HANDLING OF COMBUSTIBLE PARTICULATE SOLIDS
(2013 EDITION) FOR SAFE HANDLING.

CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE, INCLUDING ANY INCOMPATIBILITIES:

FURTHER INFORMATION ON STORAGE CONDITIONS:
KEEP CONTAINER DRY BECAUSE PRODUCT TAKES UP THE HUMIDITY OF AIR.
KEEP CONTAINER TIGHTLY CLOSED AND DRY; STORE IN A COOL PLACE.
THE PACKED PRODUCT IS NOT DAMAGED BY LOW TEMPERATURES OR BY FROST.
THE PACKED PRODUCT WILL NOT BE DAMAGED BY HIGH TEMPERATURES.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

ADVICE ON SYSTEM DESIGN:
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ALL DUST CONTROL EQUIPMENT SUCH AS LOCAL EXHAUST
VENTILATION AND MATERIAL TRANSPORT SYSTEMS INVOLVED IN HANDLING OF THIS
PRODUCT CONTAIN EXPLOSION RELIEF VENTS OR AN EXPLOSION SUPPRESSION SYSTEM
OR AN OXYGEN DEFICIENT ENVIRONMENT. ENSURE THAT DUST-HANDLING SYSTEMS
(SUCH AS EXHAUST DUCTS, DUST COLLECTORS, VESSELS, AND PROCESSING
EQUIPMENT) ARE DESIGNED IN A MANNER TO PREVENT THE ESCAPE OF DUST INTO
THE WORK AREA (I.E., THERE IS NO LEAKAGE FROM THE EQUIPMENT). USE ONLY
APPROPRIATELY CLASSIFIED ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AND POWERED INDUSTRIAL
TRUCKS.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: BREATHING PROTECTION IF DUSTS ARE FORMED.

HAND PROTECTION: CHEMICAL RESISTANT PROTECTIVE GLOVES

EYE PROTECTION: TIGHTLY FITTING SAFETY GOGGLES (CHEMICAL GOGGLES).
