5 Fire-fighting measures
5.1. Extinguishing media
Suitable : Use water spray or mist, dry chemical, foam or CO2.
Not suitable : Do not use water jet.
5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Hazards from the substance or mixture : Combustible solid that burns. Fine dust clouds may form explosive mixtures with air.
Hazardous thermal
decomposition products : Decomposition products may include the following materials: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides,
5.3. Special protective actions for fire-fighters Special precautions for fire-fighters
: Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters : Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
Additional information : Organic powders when finely divided over a range of concentrations regardless of particulate size or shape and suspended in air or some other oxidizing medium may form explosive dust-air mixtures and result in a fire or dust explosion (including secondary explosions). The ATEX Directive defines combustible powders as less than 500 microns in diameter. When processed with flammable liquids/vapors/mists, ignitable (hybrid) mixtures may be formed with combustible dusts. Ignitable mixtures will
increase the rate of explosion pressure rise and the MIE will be lower than the pure dust in air mixture. The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) of the vapor/dust mixture will be lower than the individual LELs for the vapors/mists or dusts. See NFPA 77 for additional guidance.

6 Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate
surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or
walk through spilled material. Minimize airborne dust and eliminate all fire/ignition sources. Clean up
spill as soon as possible using procedures described below. Do not breathe dust. Provide adequate
ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on appropriate personal
protective equipment (see section 8).
6.2. Environmental precautions
Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers.
Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution (sewers,
waterways, soil or air).
6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Small spill : Move containers from spill area. Do not use air hoses for cleaning. Minimize dry sweeping to avoid generation of dust clouds. Vacuum dust-accumulating surfaces and
remove to a chemical disposal area. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Vacuums with
explosion-proof motors should be used. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Large spill : Move containers from spill area. Approach release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Avoid creating dusty conditions and prevent wind dispersal. Do not use air hoses for cleaning. Minimize dry sweeping to avoid generation of dust clouds. Vacuum dust-accumulating surfaces and remove to a chemical disposal area. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment.
Vacuums with explosion-proof motors should be used. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Note: see section 1 for emergency contact information and section 13 for waste disposal.

7 Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8). Eating, drinking and smoking
should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should
wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing.
Do not breathe dust. Do not ingest. Avoid the creation of dust when handling and avoid all possible
sources of ignition (spark or flame). Prevent dust accumulation. Use only with adequate ventilation.
Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Keep in the original container or an
approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Electrical
equipment and lighting should be protected to appropriate standards to prevent dust coming into
contact with hot surfaces, sparks or other ignition sources. Take precautionary measures against
electrostatic discharges. To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by
grounding and bonding containers and equipment before transferring material. Empty containers
retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container.

COMBUSTIBLE DUST HANDLING PROCEDURES:
Combustible dusts at sufficient concentrations can form explosive mixtures with air. High dust
concentrations should be avoided. Follow US NFPA Standard 654, "Standard for the Prevention of
Fire and Dust Explosions from the Manufacturing, Processing, and Handling of Combustible
Particulate Solids," UK HSE Guidance HSG 103, approved Codes of Practice (ACOPS) established
for Explosive Atmospheres under the ATEX Directive 1999/92/EC for worker protection and ATEX
Directive 94/9/EC that regulates equipment and protection systems used in potentially explosive
atmospheres or other national guidance on safe handling of combustible dusts. Train workers in the
recognition and prevention of hazards associated with combustible dust in the plant.
Minimize airborne dust and eliminate all ignition sources. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces,
sparks, and flame. Establish good housekeeping practices. Remove dust accumulations on a
regular basis by vacuuming or gentle sweeping to avoid creating dust clouds. Use continuous
suction at points of dust generation to capture and minimize the accumulation of dusts. Particular
attention should be given to overhead and hidden horizontal surfaces to minimize the probability of
a "secondary" explosion. According to NFPA Standard 654, dust layers 1/32 in.(0.8 mm) thick can
be sufficient to warrant immediate cleaning of the area.
Control sources of static electricity. This product or the package itself can accumulate static
charges, and static discharge can be a source of ignition. Solids handling systems must be
designed in accordance with applicable NFPA standards (including 654 and 77) and other national
guidance. Do not empty directly into flammable solvents or in the presence of flammable vapors.
The operator, the packaging container and all equipment must be grounded with electrical bonding
and grounding systems. Plastic bags and plastics cannot be grounded, and antistatic bags do not
completely protect against development of static charges.
7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approved area. Store in
original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from
incompatible materials (see section 10) and food and drink. Eliminate all ignition sources. Separate
from oxidizing materials. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks and flame. Keep container
tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully
resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate
containment to avoid environmental contamination.
